The JTA reports,

The wedding dress that an Israeli terror victim never got to wear was remade into a curtain for a Torah ark.

A ceremony Thursday will mark the transformation of Nava Applebaum’s dress, which will be used at Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem. At the ceremony, the Kever Rachel Fund will establish a fund for Israeli couples who are having trouble paying for a wedding and the costs of setting up a house.

Applebaum was killed on the eve of her wedding, along with her father and five others, in a September 2003 suicide bombing at a Jerusalem cafe. Checks for the fund can be sent to Kever Rachel Fund, P.O. Box 1181, Teaneck, N.J., 07666.

Sad, sad, sad. But a bit creepy.
