Dear Gerrie

On behalf of the Jewish Agency and Arad-Tamar/NJ-Del Partnership, please accept my deepest condolences on Wednesday's tragic accident in Chile.

The past ten years of partnership between our communities have made us see in each and every one of you not just friends, but a family.

From the lowest place on earth in the Tamar region through the clear air of Arad, the entire region shares your sorrow. Our hearts and minds are with you and we will be happy to assist you in any way possible.

May the all mighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem

Sincerely,

Shimon Shamila - Director
Arad Tamar-NJ Delaware Partnership

Condolences from the Tamar Regional Council

To our Partner Community in New Jersey,

I would like to express our deepest sympathy for the tragic loss of ten members of your community on behalf of myself and the Tamar Regional Council Family.

From our homes here in the Dead Sea,

I would like to lift the spirit of the bereaved families during this terrible time, our friends and partners in Partnership 2000 and to strengthen them, our friends from abroad.

May you be strong and know no further sorrow.

Dov Litvinoff
Mayor of the Tamar Regional Council
