DESCRIPTION:On Saturday, a masked assailant dressed in black from head to toe opened 
 fire on a gay teen center’s support group meeting in Tel Aviv, Israel, 
 killing 2 members of the group: 16 year old, Liz Trubeshi, and 26 year old, 
 Nir Katz, the support group counselor, and wounding 10 others. The gunman 
 managed to find the secret location of the support group’s meetings; many 
 of the kids were not yet out to their parents before the shooting. On 
 Sunday, thousands in Tel Aviv protested the senseless murders, and crowds 
 gathered in other Israeli cities as well.\n\nAn ad hoc group of San 
 Francisco-based Jewish and gay organizations and individuals is organizing 
 a candlelight vigil/memorial for tonight, Monday night, to memorialize the 
 young Israeli victims. The safety of LGBT youth is of utmost concern; this 
 could happen at any center anywhere in the world. Organizers are calling 
 for LGBT centers around the country and world to also hold vigils on 
 Monday.\n \nPlease join us tonight for a San Francisco memorial in honor of 
 those murdered at the LGBT Center in Tel Aviv.\n \nWe will gather at 
 Congregation Sha'ar Zahav at 290 Dolores Street at 5:30 pm, and walk from 
 there to the San Francisco LGBT Center at 1800 Market Street.\n\nWhen we 
 arrive at the LGBT Center at 6:30 pm, Rabbi Camille Shira Angel, Supervisor 
 Bevan Dufty, Ruby Cymrot-Wu, and others will offer meaningful words.\n\nFor 
 more information on the shootings and on tonight's vigil, please visit:

 of this attack, their families, friends and communities.\n\n l'Shalom,\n

 Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin & Sonoma Counties\n \nSamuel Strauss, LGBT 
 Alliance of the Jewish Community Federation of the Greater East Bay\n
