      Funeral to be Held Sunday for Silman


      Several demonstrations and memorial services were held Saturday night in various places around the country in memory of Moshe Silman, who set himself on fire at a social justice protest in Tel Aviv Saturday night. Most of the protests were quiet, with the exception of one in Tel Aviv that joined a larger demonstration that blocked roads and streets in the center of the city.

      Silman died of his wounds on Friday, after suffering burns to 80% of his body. His funeral is to be held Sunday morning in Holon.
