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:
“Do you not see that so long as society says woman has not brains enough to be a doctor, lawyer or minister, but has plenty to be a teacher, every man of you who condescends to teach, tacitly admits before all Israel and the sun that he has no more brains than a woman?”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
