[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
It was an emotional event, a year following the kidnapping and murders of the three kedoshim from Gush Etzion HY”D, Gilad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Frenkel. The event was held at the Kosel on Tuesday, 26 Menachem Av, with the families of the kedoshim taking part along with prominent rabbonim and public officials, including Rishon L’Tzion Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Shlita.
As mentioned in the video, the symbol of the three boys and the days that followed the kidnapping is “achdus”, uniting the Jews of Eretz Yisrael and impacting the Jewish community around the world.
The video speaks for itself as one can see all kinds of Jews taking part in the simcha, the bringing of a new Sefer Torah to the Kosel.

I would just like to make a correction I was part of the organizers of this unbelievable event and not only 1 sefer was donated but 75 Sifrei Torah!!!!! To commemorate the fallen soldiers , civilians and the 3 Kedoshim from Tsuk Eitan but also the 23 000 fallen soldiers since 1860. This event was incredibly emotional and was never seen in history. It was a historic moment for all of Am Israel. The president , ministers and all of the bereaved families of Tsuk Eitan were there. Pls correct the article thank you!!! May we only hear more and more smachot!!!
Soooo sorry I made a mistake I was talking about the event that took place 27 Menachem-Av and not 26.
