This was sent to me by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. I know the Memorial Rally is not in my city but I thought it would be good to place this on my blog in memory of these students.
I had to cut off the bottom details in order to get it to load, but it has the name of the speakers. Israeli Consul General Jacob Dayan, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, City Councilman Jack Weiss; Rabbis Marvin Hier, Founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Elazar Muskin, Young Israel of Century City.

'His face would glow with joy,' say friends of yeshiva attack victim'
" His face would glow with joy" Doron Meherete, 26 Ashdod Friends of Doron Meherete, the oldest of the eight students murdered Thursday at Mercaz Harav yeshiva, say that his face would glow with joy as he studied with them. Meherete, who came from Ethiopia in 1991 in Operation Solomon, studied for nine years at the yeshiva, where he was known for his trenchant mind and kind heart, challenging others intellectually and lending a helping hand whenever needed.
He was also a counselor at an after-school program for immigrant Ethiopian children. Three years ago he joined the army, under a special arrangement for advanced yeshiva students, served nine months in the armored corps, and fought as a reservist in the Second Lebanon War. He was preparing to become a rabbi, and had already taken some of his ordination exams. Hundreds attended his funeral in Ashdod on Friday. Meherete is survived by two parents and six siblings. More
