The families of the boys who were killed in a car accident (Eli Ashkenazi)
The Emek Hula school opened its doors today (Sunday), after the weekend during which three of its students were killed - Uri Malol, Daniel Porat and Ariel Stern.
The principal of the school, Edna Bez, told about the difficult day the students and the school staff are going through.
"At this time we prefer to be human beings first, before we are educators and professionals," she said.
"We sit with the youth, we cry with them, we are simply with them. A difficult day."
The principal of the school said that during the day, the students of the school mostly reminisce about the days with their classmates.
"Many, many days of being together. They mostly mourn the shock they went through, they don't say much."
Not all students arrived for the school day, and the school staff uses the day for discussion circles with the students who did arrive.
"We have a lot of work, we also take care of those who don't come," Baz added.

She praised the school staff, "from the first moment he is emotionally present with the children and with the families, in very large masses of staff members."
Bez noted, "We are surrounded, we are not alone. We have the Upper Galilee Regional Council, the Ministry of Education, the psychological system. We are not alone, we are coping and we know the road is still long."
The families of 16-year-old Uri, Daniel and Ariel from Kfar Blum mourn their loved ones who were killed in the car accident.
"It is not perceived that this is really our Uri, who was killed two minutes from the house. It is delusional," said Romi, Uri Malol's sister.
She said that the three went to eat in Kiryat Shmona, apparently after a birthday party they attended.
"It's a road we drive on every day, I drive it at least 6-7 times a day and so does Uri. The road is terribly dangerous, he probably just lost control," she said.
"One big heart".

Romi saw her brother for the last time on Thursday evening, hours before the fatal accident.
"He made a salad with us and sat with us in the living room, telling us about the work. When he left I asked him where he was going, so he told me for the birthday. They were probably hungry after the birthday so they went to Kiryat Shmona, and on the way back this happened to them."
Uri Malol, according to his sister, had "one big heart. An amazing, charismatic boy. Everyone always followed him, listened to him. He was a diligent child. I admired him for this diligence. He would get up at six in the morning, go to work, come back at six in the evening, fulfill his His dreams. An amazing boy."
"Until the day I die, I will carry him with me."

Asaf Stern, Ariel Stern's father, also told about the dangerous road where the accident happened.
"We are in the north here, in the periphery: fix these roads for us," he called.
"Invest in them. These are dangerous roads, these two lanes. Our lives are not worth less than the center."
He recounted his son's death with pain, "It's not the kind of thing you prepare for. It's not that you know or can prepare for it. It just falls on you. All I can do is gather myself, my family and move on - live every day with him in my heart , in my head, in pictures in my memory. He is here, he will not go, until the day I die I will carry him with me. Unfortunately, he came to us for a short time, he was not yet 17 years old."
Assaf said that his son and his two friends who were killed in the car accident "were stuck together since they were born in the kibbutz, they were there for each other all the time. They were really brothers. They left three broken families."
He called on the young people, "Be very balanced, very careful. I always tried to instill this in Ariel. To drive carefully, not to rush, not to drink and drive of course."
He continued, "If we manage to save more families, this may be our destiny. Let them think of father and mother, let them think of their friends. There are a lot of young people here, they are hurting. It takes them so close. I wish everyone would learn a lesson from this."
Daniel, Uri and Ariel were killed in a car accident in the Galilee finger.
Two other people, aged 35 and 43, were injured in the accident.
Apparently the boys' vehicles and the other vehicle collided head-on after one of them swerved for an unknown reason into the opposite lane.
