The funeral procession of the 16-year-old boy Aryeh Shechopak, who was murdered this morning in the deadly attack at the entrance to Jerusalem, leaves from the Boston Synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood of Jerusalem to the Mount of Comfort.
His friends had a hard time digesting his tragic death.
One of his friends told "Israel Today" that: "He always saw everything positively, always with a smile. It was fun to be around him. It's an absolute market. I talked to him yesterday and suddenly I learned that he was the one who was murdered. A friend called and told me it was Arya and I was in a market. Almost I fainted. He enjoyed studying at the yeshiva, he was very sociable. Everyone loved him."
Complete shock prevails in the Har Nof neighborhood where Aryeh lived with his family.
"He always aspired to succeed in everything he did, he aspired high," said another friend of Aryeh.
"I was extremely shocked to hear that Aryeh was murdered in the attack. I was close to the scene of the attack. He was kind and smiling and loved to learn. Before Aryeh studied in a small yeshiva, he studied Talmud Torah the Ram in Har Nof, a class that knew pain and bereavement after one of the students in the class was killed in the Miron disaster. Talmud HaTorah This one has known many disasters when the father of one of the students was murdered in an attack on the synagogue in Har Nof 8 years ago."
Aryeh's friends who were on their way to yeshiva studies and were traveling with him on the bus minutes before the attack were informed that their beloved friend was the one who was murdered in the attack.
