THE YEAR IN GRIEF

The Year In Grief: Portraits of Israelis Killed in 2005 - Jonathan Mark (New York Jewish Week)
This past year will be remembered as a peaceful one in Israel, the most peaceful in the last five years, but for 51 Israeli families touched by terrorism this was a year of mourning and sudden endings, lives lost to bombs in the afternoon at falafel stands and to midnight gunfire on West Bank roads. Hundreds more suffered injury and disability.
