One of three Israeli soldiers who risked their lives to save a busload of schoolchildren from a terrorist bomb was honored Wednesday by students in New York. Izhar Tubi visited the Manhattan Day School where seventh graders made a donation to the Friends of the Israeli Defense Force in the soldiers’ honor and gave copies of the Book of Psalms to Tubi to bring to another soldier, Ze’ev Hazanofsky, and the family of Alexei Neykov, who died in the October 1998 bombing.
