By The CJN Staff

Two explosions at bus stops on the outskirts of Jerusalem on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 23, resulted in multiple injuries, and one fatality: Aryeh Schupak, who was an Israeli-Canadian yeshiva student living in the neighbourhood of Har Nof. His funeral was held later that day. The CJN is following this story.

Incredibly saddened to learn about the death of a young Canadian in the terrorist attack in Jerusalem. I’m sending his family and friends my deepest condolences. I’m also thinking of those who were injured. Canada condemns this violence in the strongest possible terms.
