The funeral for Rabbi Zvi Kogan, the Chabad-Lubavitch emissary who was abducted and murdered in the United Arab Emirates last week, was held at 8:00 p.m. at "770" in Kfar Chabad this evening (Monday). Thousands of people came to pay their last respects to Rabbi Kogan. The funeral will move from Kfar Chabad to Jerusalem, where it will stop at the Shamgar funeral home at 11:00 p.m. before proceeding to the Mount of Olives, where he will be buried. Earlier today, the UAE Ministry of Interior announced the identities of the suspects in Rabbi Kogan's murder. The three perpetrators, who hold Uzbek nationality, were named as Olimpi Tohirovich (28 years old), Makhmudjon Abdurrahim (28 years old), and Azizi Kamilovich (33 years old).

"At this hour of pain, as we stand in the shadow of our loss, I think of Aharon HaCohen (Aaron the High Priest), who when faced with the unspeakable tragedy (of the deaths of his two sons), that the Torah says, 'And Aharon was silent,'" Rabbi Duchman said. "In the face of such evil words fell hollow, but we are Jews. Silence may be our first response, but action is always our answer," he continued. "Rav Zvi HaCohen Kogan, Hashem Yikam Damo (may God avenge his blood) didn't just live for himself. He lived for others, a pillar in the community. He was a man of love, light, and boundless kindness. His ability to connect with people from all walks of life was unmatched." "And now, even after, in his death, his legacy is alive. Tens of thousands of mitzvas are being performed in his memory," Rabbi Duchman noted. "Already three babies have been named in his honor, ensuring that his legacy continues. His life was stolen, but his mission could not be silenced." "This is who we are. This is what it means to be a Jew. 3,785 years ago, Hashem made a covenant with Avraham to change the world. This covenant wasn't just a promise to give us Eretz Yisrael, it was a mission. Hashem charged Avraham and his descendants with a simple eternal command: Change the world. Be a light in the darkness. Stand for truth, for love, and for hope," he said. "We are at war for the future of the world. It's about good vs evil, light vs darkness, and builders vs breakers. Every Jew is on the front line. Every one of us has a role and a responsibility. We're not just a nation. We are Hashem's ambassadors, ambassadors of love and light and truth. Our mission is not to hide, not to cower, not to duck from shame or fear. We stand tall. We hold the torch of Torah and mitzvas to show the world we are alive," Rabbi Duchman said. Health Minister Uriel Buso said at the funeral, "When I visited Dubai, I saw a guy who, had nothing else on his mind apart from doing mitzvot and good deeds. This is an antisemitic act that shows we as Jews how strong we must be."
