The Jewish Agency for Israel on Thursday mourned the death of Ezra Schwartz, a student at Yeshivat Ashreinu in Beit Shemesh and a participant in Masa Israel Journey, who was murdered in the terror attack in Gush Etzion.
Chairman of the Executive Natan Sharansky spoke to Ezra’s family and expressed deep condolences on behalf of The Jewish Agency. He also offered any and all assistance to the family during this trying time.
“Ezra came to Israel not only to study but also to be a part of the vibrant Israeli experience. This makes his death even more tragic,” he said.
