Elli and Dinah

Rabbi Elli and Dinah Horovitz z\”l, Murdered by Palestinian Terrorists, Sabbath Eve, March 7, 2003.

Reflecting the odd vagaries of Middle East politics, his vow also came as Israeli and Palestinian officials began reviewing the latest draft of a U.S. \”road map\” for achieving peace in the region.
