Rabbi Elli and Dinah Horovitz z\”l, Murdered by Palestinian Terrorists, Sabbath Eve, March 7, 2003.
Like most people these days, I keep close tabs on the news. On Friday morning, March 7, when I read on the Internet that a couple was murdered in Kiryat
Arba, my ears perked up because my cousins live there.
But so do about 7,500 other people. We were out all Saturday afternoon, and came home for a short time before setting out for an evening concert. But before leaving I had to check the news once again. There it stared me in the face. The murdered couple was identified. I screamed for my husband. \”Look, it\’s my [dad\’s] cousin Leah\’s son, Elli [Elnatan], and his wife, Dinah [Debbie]. They murdered my cousin.\”

He made the comment following a terror attack Dec. 27 at a West Bank yeshiva, in which four students were killed and 10 others wounded. 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.
