(IsraelNN.com) Hundreds of Jews were allowed to enter Yosef’s Tomb (Kever Yosef) in Shechem on Sunday night with IDF protection.  Nahman Zoldan, whose son Ido was recently murdered by Palestinian Authority terrorists, lit the sixth Chanukah candle.

Participants said a special prayer for kidnapped and missing IDF soldiers.  Organizers explained that Yosef’s Tomb was a particularly appropriate location for the prayer rally, saying, “Just as the righteous Yosef who was missing from his father’s home for 22 years merited to return and reunite with his family, so may we merit to see them returning home alive and well, raising Israel’s glory.”
