With heavy hearts, we here at Beth Tfiloh Congregation mourn alongside all of Am Yisrael for Oded Lifshitz and Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, whose bodies were returned to Israel on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Their loss is a deep wound for our people, and in times like these, we find strength in coming together.
On this upcoming Shabbat morning, Feb. 22, we will pay our respects with a tribute and special prayers in shul. We invite everyone to join us at Beth Tfiloh, 3300 Old Court Road in Pikesville, as we stand together in unity and remembrance. Please wear orange as a sign of solidarity.
Services begin at 9 a.m., with prayers on behalf of the families, soldiers and the hostages at around 10:15.
May Hashem bring comfort to all who grieve and healing to our broken hearts.
Sincerely,
R’ Eliyahu Yoggev
