The Jewish Agency held a special ceremony on Wednesday to honor the victims of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community office building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. July 18 marked the 27th anniversary of the attack, which claimed the lives of 85 people.

The event was attended by more than 200 young men and women who came to Israel from Argentina and other countries to be trained as emissaries. The attendees planted a tree on the Jewish Agency's campus in Jerusalem in memory of the victims.
"The ceremony honoring the memory of those killed in the horrific attack is another step in the partnership between Diaspora Jewry and the State of Israel," Acting Chairman of the Jewish Agency Yaakov Hagoel said.
Since its establishment in 1929, the Jewish Agency has been working to connect Jews abroad to Israel by sending hundreds of emissaries annually to communities worldwide, "in order to secure a vibrant Jewish future for generations to come."
