(IsraelNN.com) Jimmy Kedoshim was laid to rest in the kibbutz of Kfar Aza Sunday afternoon. Kedoshim, 48, was murdered in a terrorist attack on Friday night when a mortar shell landed just outside his home.  He is survived by his wife and three children.

Kedoshim's daughter Stav read him a poem and his son, Eyal, thanked him for the love he gave him throughout his life.

Among the eulogizers was MK Shai Hermesh of Kfar Aza. Rabbi Tzion Cohen, the rabbi of Shaar HaNegev Regional Council, asked Kedoshim to "do something [against the missile attacks] from up there, because down here it seems that nobody can."
