Yesterday at 7:00 am four of their friends joined them for prayer, today they returned without them.
A day after two murderers' massacred worshipers, killing five of them including a policeman who tried to protect them, dozens of worshipers returned to the Bnei Torah synagogue in Har Nof, Jerusalem
Security guards were stationed at the entrance following the events of yesterday.
At the entrance to the synagogue this morning dozens of worshipers were entering to pray as usual but with sadness on their faces, when alongside the obituaries guards also stand at the entrance.
Yaakov Horowitz, one of the worshipers who arrived this morning told Behadrey Haredim: "My family lives not far from here, though usually I pray somewhere else, I came this morning to strengthen the congregation and I will continue to come. It is not easy, it is hard to digest what happened, but we will continue to come and pray here, and thanks to the faith we will overcome.
Another person who appeared for prayer was Minister of Economy Naftali Bennett chairman of the Jewish Home, who arrived early this morning from his home in Raanana when he was crowned with a prayer shawl and phylacteries. He prayed the morning prayers.
Last night, Bennett was interviewed by the BBC, following the attack and posted a photo from the scene of the attack against the protests of the interviewer who asked him to remove the photo "We do not want to see it," she told him.
Those murdered in yesterday's attack are Rabbi Moshe Tversky hy"d American-born 59, Rabbi Aryeh Kofinsky hy"d 43, Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg hy"d 68, a father of six and Rabbi Kalman Levin hy"d, 50, a father to nine children. Sergeant Major Zidane Saif, a traffic policeman who came to help was murdered in a shootout with terrorists.
The funerals of the four were held yesterday, attended by thousands. Today Saif's funeral will be held.
