Day 10 - Rabbi Kook : Chief Rabbi of Israel

JET is dedicating the learning of the 60 Days book in memory of the 8 students who were murdered in March at the yeshiva named after Rabbi Kook. I visited the yeshiva only once many years ago when I was learning in Yerushalayim.

Some of the stories of the lives of the students are so sad, and yet very inspiring at the same time. You can read about two of the boys, Neria Cohen and Avraham David Moses at
