For the first time in history, New Zealand’s synagogues will be closed this coming Shabbat following the massacre of muslims in Christchurch.
The Jewish Agency and New Zealand Jewish Council, according to the Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog, do this as an act of solidarity with the bereaved families.
