On Shabbat VeYechi, two hikers were stabbed while hiking in the forest outside of Jerusalem near Beit Shemesh.
One of the victims was a tour guide for Shoresh Tours, a Messianic Jewish tour group. According to the website of Shoresh Tours, the group's goal is:
"We want our tours to be used by God to make loving disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) – people who know God’s love for them and share it with others."
