The Merkaz Harav Yeshiva is holding a memorial tonight (Sunday), commemorating eight years since the terror attack in which eight students were murdered.
Yeshiva head Rabbi Yaakov Shapira opened the event by saying, "This is a moment of communion with their souls."
On March 6, 2008, a terrorist entered the yeshiva and opened fire. He killed eight students and injured five others. He was ultimately stopped by two former students: then-IDF Captain David Shapira and Yitzhak Dadon.
