Thalia: Memorial service
There will be a community memorial and prayer service tonight (Sunday night 22 January) following the death of 10-yr-old Thalia Hakin and four others in Melbourne’s CBD tragedy on Friday.
The Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges and the Rabbinical Council of Victoria have stated: “We are all deeply saddened and shocked at the horrific tragedy that occurred on Friday in the Melbourne CBD. We mourn the loss of our dear student and community member, Thalia Hakin, as well as the others who lost their lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hakin family, we pray that Rachel bas Mazal and Mazal bas Chulah should have a Refuah Shleima, a complete and speedy recovery together with all those who were injured. May we share Besuros Tovos.”
The service will incorporate Torah, Tefillah and Tzedakah at the Werdiger Family Hall from 7:30pm to 8:15pm at 90 Hotham St, St Kilda East.
My condolences to Hakin Family and the four other Families of Those who died in the Melbourne CBD on Friday.
