Jewish Groups Mourn Rabin

Jewish organizations in Spokane are participating in a nationwide drive to plant a grove of trees in memory of slain Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Rabin was assassinated Nov. 4 as he left a peace rally in Tel Aviv.

The International Rabin Garden will be planted in Jerusalem by the Jewish National Fund. Cities across the country are raising money to purchase and plant the trees, said Nathan Grossman, of the Temple Beth Shalom in Spokane.

Also organizing the memorial drive is the Spokane Chapter of Hadassah, an organization of women volunteers.

Donations can be sent to the Temple Beth Shalom, c/o Rabin Memorial Garden, 1322 E. 30th, Spokane 99203. , DataTimes
