      Cohen Children Try to Comfort Young Amputee


      Three children from the Cohen family, originally of Kfar Darom, have sent a letter to eight-year-old Asher Tuito of Sderot who lost one leg in a rocket attack earlier in the week.  The Cohen children each lost at least part of a limb when their schoolbus was bombed in 2002.  Yisrael, Tehila, and Orit Cohen were seven, eight, and 12 years old at the time.

      Their father, Rabbi Ophir Cohen, said Monday that the family would do what it could to help the Tuito family.  “The path before the Tuito family is not easy,” he said.  “It will take a lot of inner strength.”
