Two Jews were killed in a massacre during a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois yesterday. One of them has been identified as Jacki Sundheim, a member of the North Shore Congregation Israel Reform Temple who also worked as a teacher and event coordinator.

The temple said in a statement: "There are no words sufficient to express the depth of our grief for Jacki’s death and sympathy for her family and loved ones. We know you join us in the deepest prayer that Jacki’s soul will be bound up in the shelter of G-d’s wings and her family will somehow find comfort and consolation amidst this boundless grief."

"Jacki was a lifelong congregant of NSCI and a cherished member of NSCI’s staff team for decades. Jacki’s work, kindness and warmth touched us all, from her early days teaching at the Gates of Learning Preschool to guiding innumerable among us through life’s moments of joy and sorrow as our Events and B'nei Mitzvah Coordinator-- all of this with tireless dedication. ," the temple said.

Sundheim left behind a husband and daughter.
