NYC Vigil Held Calling For Return Of Teens Kidnapped In West Bank

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Several Jewish groups held a prayer service and vigil outside the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan on Monday for three teens kidnapped in the West Bank last week.
The groups are also trying to popularize #BringBackOurBoys on Twitter, modeled on the #BringBackOurGirls social media effort that drew international attention to the plight of Nigerian school girls.
Gilad Shaar, 16; Naftali Frankel, 16; and Eyal Yifrach, 19, are Jewish seminary students and were kidnapped Thursday while hitchhiking at a West Bank bus stop near the Palestinian city of Hebron. Frankel is an American citizen whose family is originally from Brooklyn, CBS 2?s Marcia Kramer reported.
