President Reuven (Ruvy) Rivlin sent a telegram of condolence this evening (Wednesday) to the family of Avraham Valle hy"d, who was killed in a run-over attack at the Zwihl Square in Jerusalem.

The telegram was brought by a courier to the family home on Chevrat Shas Street in Mea Shearim neighborhood, Jerusalem.

The President writes in the letter to the family of the murder victim: "I heard with pain and sorrow of the death of the father, Rabbi Avraham Walles hy"d, a dear talmid chacham, father of young children, who was brutally taken from us in the days of mourning and remembrance of the destruction of Jerusalem. May G-d console you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and you should know no more sorrow."

A source close to the family says, and explains in a conversation with Behadrey Haredim: "We repeat and say - all the letters of the authorities which come to the family home are sent straight to the shredder. The family does not enjoy social security budgets as the custom of the Toldos Aharon Hassidim, and does not recognize the State of Israel."
