Mourners attend the funeral of Israeli-Moldovan rabbi Tzvi Kogan in Kfar Chabad, a Chabad-Lubavitch community in central Israel, on November 25, 2024. The 28-year-old UAE-based Chabad Hasidic movement representative was found dead by security services last week in the United Arab Emirates, following what Israeli officials and an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group he was affiliated with called an anti-Semitic attack. Emirati authorities said on November 25, three suspects from Uzbekistan were in custody over the murder of a rabbi. (Photo by GIL COHEN-MAGEN / AFP) (Photo by GIL COHEN-MAGEN/AFP via Getty Images)
