Shliach Murdered In Cold Blood, Chabad Leadership Calls On World To Take Action
The worldwide Chabad community, and the international Jewish community at large are shocked, grieving and outraged.
Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a young Chabad emissary, was kidnapped and murdered in cold blood last week while serving the Jewish community in the UAE.
Rabbi Kogan moved to UAE with his wife Rivky to answer a calling of service, only for his life to be cut short by terrorists.
We trust that the UAE will work with the countries in the region to bring the perpetrators to justice, and hold all those involved accountable for this act of sheer evil.
Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries serve in countries around the globe in a spirit of generosity and kindness. Wherever they are stationed to grow and sustain Jewish life, they benefit the larger community as well with their love and light for all humanity.
It is incumbent upon the authorities of every country where Chabad representatives serve in good faith, to ensure that terror finds no haven within its borders. The targeting of Rabbi Kogan was an attempt to destroy the sacred Jewish values that he represented: light, goodness and kindness.
No country, no community, no society can afford the loss of these sustaining values.
Rabbi Kogan, 28, will be laid to rest in Israel.
We mourn with his wife and family, and with the entire Chabad community. May G-d console them, and may they find solace in his legacy.

Hashem should take action, not an antisemite!
Land Price Tag ---> New Settlement in Judea & Samaria
Israel should authorize a new settlement of houses to be built on “disputed land” in Israel for every Jewish civilian that is murdered by a terrorist action.
Terrorists don’t care as much about money damages, death, or even death of their own family members. But what the terrorists do care about is loss of land.
Now is the time to tell the world of a new settlement in the Rabbi’s name,

Not a wise idea!
