Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Pesh, a resident of Tel Zion, an employee of the Kol Torah Yeshiva who was murdered this morning in a terrorist attack at the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem, was laid to rest on Mount Hamunehot.

The funeral procession was also supposed to pass through the Kol Torah yeshiva in the Beit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem, but the delay in releasing the body led to a quick funeral procession and short eulogies, in order to complete the burial before sunset.

During the funeral procession, family members, his father-in-law, and the head of the Kol Torah yeshiva, Rabbi Shlomo Schlesinger, paid tribute to him, reading: "Rabbi Yitzhak, where are you? How did this happen?"'

His son said that he asked his father where he would be in A' Deslichot - and "Now I know where he will be..." he said, crying.
