Memorial ceremony in Brussels for the victims of the Toulouse killings

The European Jewish Community Centre (EJCC) has expressed its "deep sadness and emotion following the barbaric killings" in Toulouse.
In order to mark the end of the 'Shiva', the weeklong mourning period which begins after the funerals, the organization organizes on Wednesday in Brussels a ceremony in memory of the victims with the participation of France’s ambassador to the EU, Philippe Etienne.
The traditional Kaddish prayer will be recited and a special message from Eva Sandler, wife and mother of the victims, will be read.
"In the face of this vicious attack on French soldiers and innocent Jewish children and teacher, we are determined to strengthen ourselves in unity and focus on our common values, the roots of the European Union," says the EJCC.
"It is our deep conviction that justice will prevail and that the Jewish citizens in France and Europe will continue to practice their Judaism and live in peace and security."
