The ceremony will begin with the afternoon prayers, followed by the traditional recitation of the Kaddish prayer and tearing of garments by the three fathers. Rabbi Dov Zinger, the head of the Mekor Haim yeshiva, where Shaar and Fraenkel went to school, will offer the first eulogy.
After him, Chief Rabbi David Lau will address the mourners, followed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres.
