Victims of anti-Semitism remembered by the Jewish Agency

Each year on Yom Hazikaron – Remembrance Day for the Fallen and Victims of Terror – the Jewish Agency conducts a memorial ceremony that also includes the commemoration of Diaspora Jews who were murdered for no reason other than the fact that they were Jews.

 

Because each victim is an individual with a personal story, the annual commemoration focuses on one particular victim whose family members have either already migrated to Israel, or are brought to Israel for the ceremony.

 

This year the individual story was that of Moshe Yaish Nahari, a 35-year-old Yemenite father of nine, who in December 2008 was gunned down in the market place in Raydah, a small town in Yemen, when he went to buy provisions for Shabbat.
