A Song for Shira: Remembering Shira Banki
The air stood still in Jerusalem’s Zion Square last night
In memory of Shira Banki
More than a thousand teens and young adults gathered there to attend a memorial service organized by the Jerusalem Open House. They came to grieve the loss of Shira Banki, the 16-year old girl who died yesterday afternoon days after being stabbed by an ultra-Orthodox man at last Thursday’s Jerusalem LGBTQ Pride March.
