A 27-year-old recent Columbia grad from Connecticut was shot and killed by a suspected Palestinian gunman Monday while in Israel for a wedding
Ganeles had dual citizenship between Israel and the United States. He attended Hebrew schooling in West Hartford before spending time in Israel where he served in the Israel Defense Forces from 2016 to 2018.“It may be thousands of miles away, but it’s right here. Right here in our hearts,” Ilana said.
The Bernsteins are also of Jewish faith and the news of the apparent terror attack has startling significance for them.“No matter what faith you are, no matter where you come from, we’re all just humans,” Ilana said. Rabbi Joseph Gopin is not the Ganeles’ rabbi, but he knows the family well. He, too, is grieving but despite the recent uptick in violence on the West Bank, he says Israel should not be a feared destination for those of Jewish faith.
“We still go there we still support it, and we still hope and pray for the day there’s going to be peace in Israel,” Gopin said. “We know one thing. God wants us to be there. God wants us to build Israel.” On Tuesday, Ganeles was being remembered for his faith as those who share the same beliefs come to terms with what transpired Monday.This article tagged under:
