Reburial in Israel
At the request of the family, the remains of Ilan Halimi were reburied in Har HaMenuchot cemetery Israel on Friday, Feb. 9, 2007.
It was timed to allow his first Yartzeit, on Tu Bishvat, to pass before the reburial. The date and time (11:30am) also marked "exactly one year after his burial in France according to the Jewish Calendar."
In May 2011, a garden in the XIIème arrondissement of Paris was renamed after him. Ilan used to play in this garden as a child.

Famous quotes containing the word israel:
“For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.
