‘We will miss you a lot,’ say kids of slain rabbi at funeral

A funeral officiant holds up his phone to play messages recorded in advance by Ettinger’s younger children.

“Dad, every two weeks you would take us on trips in the nature. We’d learn about the plants and the flowers.”

“I liked joining you on Friday shopping trips in the Tel Aviv market.”

“Every day when you returned from work, you made sure to take aside one of us for a conversation or a Torah lesson.”

“You were on your way home and you went back in order to save lives.”

“We will miss you a lot.”

— Jacob Magid
