23-year-old Ilan Halimi HY”D, a French Yid who was brutally murdered last year in a vicious anti-Semitic attack is to reburied in Yerushalayim February 9. Ilan was kidnapped last January and tortured for three weeks before dying.

The kidnappers sent ransom demands to his family but did not arrive at several meetings to collect the ransom money. He was found naked and handcuffed along a railroad track several miles south of Paris. Most of his body was marked with burns.
