New Jersey politicians on Monday called for more help from both the U.S. and Israeli governments for a student who went missing during a hike in Jerusalem last week.
Yeshiva student Aaron Sofer’s neighbors also gathered Monday night, praying for his safe return.
Sofer, 23, of Lakewood, has been missing since Friday when he went on a hike with a friend on a rocky, wooded slope in the Jerusalem Forest. Sofer and his friend apparently became separated, and Sofer never emerged. This area is bordered by Jewish communities and by Arab communities
U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and other local officials in New Jersey were planning a news conference for Tuesday in Lakewood to seek help in finding Sofer.
