Maia and Rina Dee, reportedly aged 20 and 15 respectively, were killed by Palestinian gunmen who attacked their car close to an Israeli settlement.
Recalling the time they spent in the UK, Rabbi Ginsbury said:"They used to come to us at home. They were just a delightful family, full of commitment, vigour, passion, energy, and they did wonderful things for us in the community."
He said he spoke to Rabbi Dee last night and"one of the things that is sustaining him is the blanket of warmth and love which is enveloping them within Israel and around the world".Rabbi Ginsbury said he was planning to hold a service of psalms and prayers on Sunday evening for people who"want to express their sense of pain, grief and solidarity with the Dees and with all the good and positive values that we, as Jewish people, stand for across the world and in Israel".
