A ceremony commemorating 500 days since Hizbullah terrorists abducted Elchanan Tenenbaum was held last night - but was not as well-attended as hoped. Most of the 500 children who were scheduled to sit blindfolded with their hands shackled behind their backs, symbolizing Mr. Tenenbaum\'s suffering, did not show up. Family members were disappointed, but said they understood that parents are fearful of allowing their children to travel given the current security situation.
Col. (res.) Elchanan Tenenbaum was kidnapped while on a business trip in Europe in October of 2000, and since then not a sign of life has been heard from him. His daughter Keren said that even with all the troubles the country is currently experiencing, \"Israel must still not forget for a moment that an Israeli citizen is rotting in a Hizbullah dungeon.\" Family members said that senior officials dealing with the case say that he is alive.
