The man killed by a Gazan rocket on Motzei Shabbos has been identified as Moshe Agadi, 58, a father of four from Ashkelon.
Magen David Adom paramedics provided medical treatment to the man and evacuated him to the Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon with shrapnel wounds in his chest and stomach. The hospital announced his death approximately one hour later.
Ashkelon Mayor Tomer Glam arrived at the scene of the attack and said, “This is a difficult time for the city of Ashkelon. We are all mourning, hurt and broken by the tragedy of one of the oldest and most well-known families in Ashkelon.”

This week
I will go to Shul.
For Lori Kaye,
A woman in 2019 who died
Because she was born
A Jew.
I will go to Shul
For my grandfather
Who survived the hellish nightmare
That was Auschwitz
But who’s family
I never knew.
I will go to Shul
For Eva, the instagram poster
Who wanted to live
Who wanted to be a child
But her youth
Was ripped away from her.
I will go to Shul
For Gabi and Rivky Holzberg
Who were murdered
In cold blood
In their home.
I will go to Shul
For baby Shalhevet
The child of Chevron
Who barely lived on this earth
And now occupies a place
On High.

Police are warning Lakwood residents of a possible ring of robbers operating in the area.
Fifteen homes were burglarized in the Regent/ Hollywood neighborhood last Friday night, police say. The previous Friday night, homes by Glen Avenue were targeted.
The police shared that the group targets a different neighborhood every Friday night. The thieves mostly enter through unlocked windows and search for for cash, wallets and jewelry on the first floor of occupied homes.
The police suspect that the group is aware that many surveillance cameras are off on Shabbos and that people usually don’t call the police on Shabbos.
Please be careful to lock all windows Friday night and every night.

As is well known, there is a minhag to make shlissel challah for the Shabbos after Pesach. Shlissel challahs are best known as a segulah for parnassah, although there are other several reasons for baking a challah with a key in it. However, some have raised health concerns regarding this minhag. Keys have been found to leave behind unsafe amounts of lead, leading some to suggest that the practice of placing keys in challahs in making shlissel challah may present a danger.

The following is another message from Mr. Simon Bergson, owner of Manhattan Beer Distributers, as he stands near the van that’s delivering free beer and arbes for shalom zachors taking place tonight.
