Rabbi Albert Gabbai of Mikveh Israel and Rector Timmothy Stafford of Christ Church in Philadelphia both spoke at Philadelphia's memorial service for the slain Israeli teenagers on July 1, 2014.

“I am very angry that any blame was placed on the boys,” Gabbay said. “It is a different culture. But even more than the issue of hitchhiking, Americans understood what it was like to be an Israeli for a short while after 9/11, but that understand has dissapated. Now, again, they don’t understand.”
