Jewish communities abroad to hold memorial services for slain teens; some call on PA to act against terror while others call for action against Ramallah.
Communities across the Diaspora will be holding memorial services on Tuesday as Jews worldwide grapple with the murders of the three kidnapped teens whose bodies were found in a village outside of Hebron Monday evening.
Naftali Fraenkel, 16, Gil-Ad Shaer, 16, and Eyal Yifrah, 19, were found buried in a shallow grave. Reports indicate that they were killed shortly after being kidnapped.
Impromptu gatherings have already been held at the Israeli consulate and Manhattan Jewish Community Center in New York and further gatherings are scheduled in Warsaw, Los Angeles and other cities both in the United States and around the world.
