    “Ahead of funeral for Newtown victim Noah Pozner, temple opens fund for family

    NEW YORK (JTA) — As the family of Newtown massacre victim Noah Pozner prepared for the 6-year-old’s funeral, the family’s synagogue began collecting money for the Pozners.

    Congregation Adath Israel of Newtown, Conn., posted a notice on its website announcing that it was accepting money to help support the Pozners “during this terrible time.” It also recommended two charities for the other victims: United Way of Western Connecticut and Everribbon.com.

    Pozner, who was Jewish, was the youngest victim of last Friday’s shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. His funeral — the first of the massacre’s 27 victims — was scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. Monday at the Abraham L. Green & Son Funeral Home in Fairfield, Conn.”
