Ezra Schwartz HY"D, our classmate, friend, and brother at Yeshivat Ashreinu, was killed yesterday in a terrorist attack on his way to volunteer at Oz V'Gaon, a project dedicated to the memory of the three boys kidnapped and murdered in June 2014. This loss has hit us all very hard, and we join the family and the nation in grieving.

In Ezra's memory, we are establishing a fund that will be used for charity work and projects dedicated to our classmate. Any assistance you can give is much appreciated.

Yeshivat Ashreinu is a gap year program based in Beit Shemesh, Israel. Ezra Schwartz, in whose memory this money is being raised, was our classmate before his tragic murder. The money will be used directly by the yeshiva for projects and memorials in Ezra's memory. This information has been added at the request of GoFundMe.
