Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, age 30, died on March 19, 2012, in Toulouse, France, as did his two children - Aryeh (age 6) and Gavriel (age 3). 

Myriam Monsenego, age 8, died on March 19, 2012, in Toulouse, France. 

All of the above poor souls were killed by a drive-by shooter on a motorbike. 

The killer has been identified as Mohammed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent who has visited Afghanistan and Pakistan and bragged of being an Al-Qaeda member. He has stated that he killed the French soldiers because of the presence of the French military in Afghanistan. He has stated that he killed the Rabbi and the three children to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children. 

God help us. Every psychopath with an axe to grind is going to use a political or religious rationale to gun down the populace, including innocent children as young as 3 years old. 

Let us pray for these 4 men and 3 children, that they are in Heaven and are with God. Amen

Pray for the human beings and for the state of our world. Pray for deliverance from freaks. Pray for deliverance from terror. Amen
