Because the Talmud talks about the merits of being buried in Israel, many Jews ask to be buried here. One of the most 'popular' cemeteries among American immigrants in Israel is the Eretz HaChayim cemetery in Beit Shemesh. The cemetery has been bought up by several American affinity groups, and I have been there for funerals all too many times Rachmana litzlan (may God save us).
Each time I go there, there is one grave that stands out, because it's on a prominent corner across from the main chapel and right next to the main road. It's the grave of Joseph K. Miller, and it gives no indication of how he died. But I remember too well how he died. I lived in New Jersey at the time of his death. Mr. Miller lived in Woodmere, New York, a town where I know many people.
Joseph Miller HY"D (may God avenge his blood) - who is listed on the Lockerbie victims web page as an 'accounting firm executive' - was the Treasurer of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations when he was murdered on Pan Am 103 twenty years ago tonight. At the time, I remember someone in the local Yeshiva telling me that his parents were friends of the Millers. I didn't know Mr. Miller, nor did I know any of the other victims of Pan Am 103 - one of the most heinous terror attacks in aviation history until September 11, 2001. But I am told that Mr. Miller went to London for a one-day business meeting the previous night, and was returning on the late afternoon Pan Am nonstop to New York. He and 258 other people from the plane, along with another 11 people on the ground, were murdered that night.
Mr. Miller's family was fortunate to recover his body intact, and brought him to Israel for burial. And it is his grave that I see all-too-often when I have to go to funerals in Beit Shemesh.
Tonight in Lockerbie, a memorial ceremony was held. This is al-Beeb's report. Let's go to the videotape.
