Yom Kippur 2010

Itamar Celebrated Erev Yom Kippur at a special ceremony on Mt. Grizim overlooking the tomb of Joseph commemorating ten years since its destruction.

When the Israeli army evacuated the holy site it was desecrated and burnt to the ground by hostile Muslim extremists. Rabbi Hillel Lieberman, a devoted student of the yeshiva at the tomb of Joseph, after hearing that the tomb was in flames ran in concern towards the holy site and on the way was attacked and murdered. A short time later, our great Rabbi and teacher Rav Binyamin Herling was murdered on the Succot holiday while hiking on Mt. Eval. We will never forget these great Tzaddikim who were so influential in building the land of Israel.

Erev Yom Kippur at the Goldsmith's

A special gathering was held in the Goldsmith home on Erev Yom Kippur commemorating the Yartzeit (Anniversay of the Death) of Morris Krantz, the father of Leah Goldsmith who passed away on Yom Kippur 17 years ago.

Morris was a holocaust survivor who was saved by righteous gentiles. Morris was a very great man and spent his life lecturing about his personal story and about the holocaust in general. He is the author of the book "Death March".
