A note about Br. Yohanan: upon reception of Israeli citizenship he chose the last name "Elihai" (My God lives) as a response to the concept prevalent at the time in Europe that God was dead.
We recall that one of Br. Yohanan's requests was to have the Israeli classic "Ein li Eretz Aheret" sung at his funeral. Link to the words; link to the song.

A funeral service was held for him on Tuesday July 7, 2020 at the Notre Dame to Sion Convent in Ein Karem. A Homily was given by Mgr. Pierbattista Pizzaballa: read here.
