Sydney prays for kidnapped teens

MORE than 1000 members of Sydney’s Jewish community gathered in solidarity on Monday evening, praying for the safe return of the three kidnapped teenagers in Israel.

Approximately 800 people filled the Moshe Triguboff Auditorium at Moriah College, while at Masada College, more than 500 people turned out.

“Tonight we come together in solidarity. We come together to send a message to the world. And to shake the heavens to say ‘bring our boys home’,” Rabbi Levy said.

IT was standing room only at Caulfield Shul on Monday night as the community banded together to show solidarity with the three Israeli teenagers reportedly kidnapped by Hamas last week.

The prayer rally for Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrah, was spearheaded by the Council of Orthodox Synagogues of Victoria and the Rabbinical Council of Victoria, but attracted support from across the religious spectrum with tehillim read by representatives of a broad cross-section of the community.
