seven years ago

seven years ago, the joy of Chanukah was eclipsed by a tragedy in the Baltimore community. Arye Avrahami, an Israeli-born owner of an electronics store downtown was murdered on the first night of Chanukah. Although most of us didn’t know him, his brother Meir Avrahami, owner of the Sunoco service station on the corner of Reisterstown Road and Clarks Lane, has been a familiar face to many of us for years.
