Devastated by the brutal murder in a terrorist attack of Eliyahu Kay

22 November 2021

The SA Jewish Board of Deputies is shocked at the devastating news of the murder of Eliyahu David Kay, a South African man who was killed in a terror attack in Jerusalem this morning.

Kay (26 years old), a tour guide in Jerusalem, was murdered by a Palestinian gunman, while on his way to pray at the Western Wall (Kotel). He later died in Hadassah Hospital.  The South African Jewish community is reeling from shock.

Our heartfelt condolences go to his parents Avi and Devora Kay, his fiancé and his family and friends in Israel and South Africa. 

May his memory be a blessing.  Baruch Dayan Emet.
