Concert honors U.S. victims of terror
Some $20,000 was raised in honor of two Americans killed last July in a Palestinian terrorist bombing at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The funds raised at a concert held Sunday night at New York%s Knitting Factory are being donated to the Marla Bennett & Ben Blutstein Memorial Scholarship Funds at the Jerusalem-based Pardes Institute. Bennett and Blutstein were enrolled in the Pardes Educators Program when they were killed in the attack. A total of nine people were killed and more than 80 wounded in the bombing. A sold-out crowd of 400 people attended the concert, which featured Jewish music.
