A Hevra Kasdisha representative left Moscow with Russia's Chief Rabbi Berl Lazar on Sunday to the site of a plane crash which left 88 people dead, including a Jewish family of four, Israel Radio reported. The parents and their two children were residents of Perm, where the aircraft went down.
The Boeing-737 traveling from Moscow to Perm went down around 3:40 a.m. (2340 GMT) Sunday.
Sunday's crash was the second involving a Boeing 737 in the former Soviet Union in the past month. A Boeing flying from the Central Asian nation of Kyrgystan to Iran crashed shortly after takeoff on Aug. 24, killing 56 people.
