A memorial service was held on Sunday (12/11) at the grave of
assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to mark the end
of the official mourning period. His family, the Cabinet and the
military command were among the mourners. Rabin's widow Leah stood
in tears and shook her head in grief as her son Yuval recited the
Kaddish, the Jewish prayer of mourning. The chief rabbi of the
Israeli army sang a prayer of remembrance. By tradition, the
ceremony takes place seven days after death to mark the end of
mourning, but in Rabin's case it was held eight days after the
killing so as not to interfere with the Jewish sabbath on
Saturday. Mourners at the Mount Herzl cemetery lit candles and
some left small stones on the grave in accordance with Jewish
custom. Security was tight, with roads to the cemetery sealed off,
dozens of agents among the crowd and each of the guests wearing a
security badge. Leah Rabin was to address a rally on Sunday night
in the square in Tel Aviv where her husband was shot by a Jewish
extremist.
