December 2014 Har Nof Memorial Edition

Special Sleeve for the har Nof attack. See iNSide for the regular editioN of Spectrum.

Before davening on November 18, Rabbi Huff read off a list of five names that he wanted us to keep in mind as we prayed. Five names that needed others to ask God to heal them. Five names of the victims of the Har Nof attack, victims of a brutal murder during a shacharit service in Jerusalem. Four names murdered while praying. One name murdered while trying to save the others.

The attack hit close to home. One of the men killed was Rabbi Mosheh Twersky, ztz”l, a Maimonides grad-uate, an influential figure in the Boston Jewish community as well as in the global Jewish community, and the grandson of Rav Soloveit-chik, the founder of Maimonides.

Maimonides was faced with a challenge unprecedented in the school’s history. How was the school going to separate this attack from other terrorist attacks in Isra-el? More importantly, how was the school going to deal with the confu-

sion of the students and the grief of the community?

The first step, customary when-ever any Jew is in danger or when-ever anyone needs help, was to say tehilim. Rather than saying one chapter as is normally done, Rabbi Huff read two, longer chapters: sev-enty-nine and eighty-three. These tehillim plead with God to save the Jewish people from their enemies and to forgive them for their sins. They ask God to “Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that do not know You and upon the kingdoms that did not call out in Your name … Do not remember for us the early iniquities; may Your mercies quick-ly come before us for we have be-come very poor.” They are begging God to forgive us and to avenge us.

The chapters were powerful. Never before had the recitation of tehillim in the shul been so strong and forceful; there was not a silent voice in the room.

Rabbi Mosheh Twersky—who graduated from Maimonides in 1973—was killed in Jerusalem along with three other rabbis and a Druze policeman on November 18, 2014. To honor him, Maimonides School held a community-wide memorial service. Among others, speakers included Yaakov Jaffe, David Hellman, and Gershon Segal, rabbis at three of the local shuls; Naty Katz, a classmate of Twer-sky and the Maimonides Head of School; and Yehuda Yaakov, Con-sul General of Israel to New Eng-land. Rabbi Twersky was remem-bered both for his intellect and for his love of other people.

The event began with a commu-nal reading of psalms 79 and 83, led by Rabbi Jaffe and Rabbi Hell-man, respectively. Psalm 79 says that Jews’ blood has been “spilled like water, around Jerusalem,” and psalm 83 notes that people have said about the Jews, “Let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more a remembrance.” Both psalms ask that God take vengeance on those who perpetrated these actions.

The first person to speak was Naty Katz. (Editors’ note: For a full

reproduction of Mr. Katz’s speech, see page S3.)

“Today was an unbearably horri-ble, tragic day for [the Jewish Peo-ple], for our community, and for our school … We are heartbroken. We are numb.” Katz later added that Maimonides School and the Twer-sky family “are eternally bound to-gether.”

Katz, who graduated from Mai-monides in 1973 with Twersky, reminisced about growing up with him “before he was Rabbi Mosheh Twersky—when he was just Mosheh Twersky.”

On the first day of kindergarten, Twersky—whose grandfather had founded the school—showed young Naty Katz around and assured him that he would be alright.

According to Katz, Twersky also exhibited physical prowess, as a “reliable, relentless” offensive line-man in intramural football.

Katz said he will always remem-ber Twersky for “his modesty, his brilliance, his smile, and his kind-ness.”

Daniel Langermann, another Maimo graduate and friend of Twer-sky, spoke after Katz. Langermann, though older than Twersky by about

Editors’ note: By now, most people have heard what happened during the Har Nof massacre. We believe, however, that a quick re-fresher will be useful when reading this section.

On Tuesday, November 18, two Palestinian terrorists armed with meat cleavers and a gun stormed a Jerusalem synagogue. Five people were killed and at least seven more were injured in the attack, before police shot and killed the two as-sailants.

On Tuesday morning, Congre-gants at the Kehilat Yaakov syna-gogue in the Har Nof neighborhood of Jerusalem filed into the sanctuary for the morning service. During the silent amida, or standing prayer, the terrorists burst in and began their attack. Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky, 43, Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, 68, Rabbi Calman Levine, 55, and Rabbi Mosheh Twersky, 59, were killed, while police officer Zidan Saif, 30, died later from wounds sustained during a shootout with with the assailants. Both terrorists were killed in the shootout.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat

strongly condemned the attack. “Jerusalem residents peacefully

praying in a synagogue in the heart of Jerusalem were cruelly slaugh-tered in cold blood while wearing their prayer shawls. I promise Jeru-salem residents that we will contin-ue to fight terror with full force and we will do everything in our power to restore peace and security to Je-rusalem,” Barkat said, according to the Jerusalem Post.

United States President Barack Obama agreed, saying, “There is and can be no justification for such attacks against innocent civilians,” according to the Guardian.

However, the Palestinian author-ity official television network, ac-cording to the website of the Pales-tinian Media Watch, described the assailants as martyrs and victims of “Israeli attacks.”

Editors’ note: Information for this article was taken from the websites of the Guardian, the Jerusalem Post, and the Palestinian Media Watch.

SPECTRUMMAIMONIDES SCHOOL STUDENT NEWSPAPER

Vol. III Issue 4

TRAGEDY AT FORT HOOD

Army Psychologist Charged | 5

ANIMAL BYPRODUCTS

Okay to Eat? | 6

In early November, a

small group of seniors and

juniors traveled to Washing-

ton, D.C. to attend an AIPAC

High School Conference.

AIPAC, the American Is-

rael Public Affairs Commit-

tee, is an interest group that

lobbies Congress in support

of a strong relationship be-

tween America and Israel.

Contrary to popular belief,

AIPAC is not a traditional

political action committee

(PAC) since it is bipartisan

and does not endorse can-

didates who run for office.

When the Maimonides

delegation arrived at the

majestic Washington Grand

Hyatt, they picked up their

name tags and ran to the

conference’s main meet-

ing room just in time to

catch the end of the open-

ing remarks. They soon

learned that the delegations

there included people from

states including Michigan,

Florida, California, New

York, New Jersey and Mary-

land. Overall, there were

over 400 other high school

students, all eager to learn

what AIPAC was about.

When Maimonides stu-

dents received their name

tags, they also received

a schedule that told them

they would be hearing lec-

tures on topics ranging from

‘Understanding AIPAC’s

Mission and Mandate’ to

‘Iran and the Bomb.’ For

the first day and a half, the

Maimonides delegation was

divided into groups based

on their name tags. The

first speeches were mostly

about AIPAC’s mission and

why it is important. Also

After fighting through five ag-

gressive games, the Maimonides

boys’ soccer team boasted an impres-

sive 4-1 record. With a growing fan

base and a four game winning streak,

morale soared. Coach Borkow kept

his M-Cats in tip-top shape with at

least five rigorous practices a week

supplemented by daily sets of push-

ups. Assistant Coach Barbosa used

his years of soccer experience to

share powerful plays and innovative

game day strategies. As a team, the

M-Cats were poised to meet any chal-

lenges their schedule held in store.

In game six of the season, Mai-

monides faced Matignon High

School. Just a week before, Matignon

and Maimonides had battled it out in

true warrior fashion. Despite a late

game comeback by Matignon, Mai-

monides escaped with a 4-3 victory.

As they left the field, it was clear that

Matignon was hungry for revenge.

Everyone knows that eating in the

library is forbidden, yet people con-

tinue to do it anyway. It states in the

Upper School Handbook: “No food

or drink (except water) is allowed in

classrooms, in the library, or in the

shul” (Section 3-School Rules: Food

Outside Permitted Areas). This rule

has been in use for eighteen years. So

why doesn’t everybody follow it? Why

is it a rule to begin with? Has this rule

turned into a joke that no one wants to

adhere to? To answer this last ques-

tion, I first had to find out why stu-

dents eat in the library to begin with.

I believe I found my answer when I

interviewed sophomore Tess Niewood.

When I asked her opinion about the

prohibition of food in the library, she

was hesitant to respond. Ultimately, she

did agree that the rule “makes sense.” I

asked her if she thought that it was fair

that students disregarded the rule. She

answered that it’s not fair, but it’s not

something that is likely to change. The

library is a place where students hang

out; there are few other places to go.

The student lounge is very small, and

mostly used by juniors and seniors. The

Letter from the EditorsTo our valued Spectrum readers,

As you may have noticed, this is not an ordinary issue of Spectrum.

Additionally, we’re sure that anyone reading this is aware of the recent Har Nof attack in Israel.

We, the Editors-in-Chief, mem-bers of the Maimonides and Boston Jewish communities, felt that we needed to do something to honor the victims. This paper gives us an opportunity that most other young people do not have. We have a blank palette to express our thoughts, give our opinions, and educate others.

Thus, we could not let this oppor-tunity pass by. This sleeve contains victim profiles, the facts of the at-tack, the school’s reaction, a per-sonal story from a student in Israel, and an account of the community memorial for Rabbi Mosheh Twer-sky.

The attack was especially dif-ficult for us because Rabbi Twer-sky, Rav Soloveitchik’s grandson, was killed. He and his family were extremely influential in the Bos-ton Jewish community: they made us who we are. While we may not

have known him personally, there is no more than one degree of separa-tion between any of us and Rabbi Twersky.

This brutal and atrocious act—and more importantly, the innocent lives who were lost—could not go unmentioned.

If there is one message that we want you to get out of this sleeve, it is the tragedy and the devastation of what happened. The extremity of the attack is incomprehensible. The questions that we, and we are sure many of you, are struggling

with, is how can this happen? How can someone do this to a fellow hu-man?

Honestly, we do not have the an-swers to these questions. The most we can do is hope that this sleeve helps you absorb, process, and dis-cuss what happened.

The most we can do it pay tribute to the victims of this tragedy and make sure they are not forgotten.

Your Editors-in-Chief,Aviva,Chaiel,Davey

cited tehilim, it really … broke my heart to think about all the fami-lies that lost their fathers. I could never imagine what they are going through,” said Adira Wolfson ’18.

Somehow, this attack felt differ-ent from other terror attacks. Many terror attacks, however terrible, are hard to relate to: the people killed are often faceless strangers in a faraway country. The attack in Har Nof, however, hit close to home. The emotions were overwhelming and brought many to tears.

“Even though it feels like we get sad news from Israel every week, this feels different. It was in a shul and it was in Har Nof. It felt differ-ent because Rabbi Twersky was one of us,” said Rabbi Soskil.

The school’s second step was to have Rabbi Soskil address this emo-tion. He spoke to the middle and high schoolers and stressed the vital idea that sometimes emotions are too strong, too intense, for words. Tehillim, he discussed, fill the void that words are too hollow to fill.

For a while after tehilim and Rabbi Soskil’s speech, it seemed like school would go on as usual. The school had prayed together and had discussed together the difficul-ty and sensitivity of the situation. It seemed like the upheaval was over. Until fourth period.

As if the day had not been diffi-cult enough, Rabbi Huff shepherd-ed the whole high school into the shul for an emergency meeting. Mr. Mattoon, Rabbi Soskil, and Rabbi Huff had to explain to the students on how to deal with reporters.

By the mid-afternoon, news sta-tions had discovered the connection between the Har Nof attack, Rab-bi Twersky, and the Maimonides School. A number of reporter trucks were parked outside of the school along with a police car for the stu-

dents’ safety. The students were told not to

leave campus for the remainder of the day and not, under any circum-stances, to speak to the reporters. This was done for the safety and privacy of the students, the faculty, and the Twersky family.

“Without the guidance of the teachers and administration, we as students would not [have] know exactly how to respond to these reporters … They helped us from making a chilul Hashem not only as a Jewish people, but as a pro-Israel school,” said Shoshana Ehrenkranz ’16.

The reporters remained outside of the school for the rest of the school day, and the police stayed through the end Tuesday for the school’s protection.

After the announcement about the reporters, Molly, the high school social worker, stood up to offer her ears to anyone who wished. She was there for any student who was confused, upset, or disturbed about the Har Nof attack.

Molly, however, was not the only faculty member to offer support. Many teachers led discussions about the attacks. One eleventh grade He-brew class spent forty-five minutes discussing how people view murder and whether this murder could be considered worse than all the others because it occurred in a religious place. Other teachers simply “let us know that we could come talk to them if we needed to,” according to Ariana Gewurz ’17.

Sometimes, less is more.

Editors’ note: Gabriella Jacobson attended Maimonides School for six years. She moved to Israel this past summer and is now a sophomore at Ulpanat Chorev, located in Bayit Ve’Gan Jerusalem.

The closer you are to something, the stronger you feel it. Whether that feeling is one of pain or happi-ness, confusion or clarity, the feel-ing is magnified if you are near the source of the feeling.

The day I’m writing this article, there was a massacre in a syna-gogue in Har Nof, Jerusalem, ap-proximately fifteen minutes by car from my apartment. I did not find out about this act of terror until I arrived at school this morning. The topic was breaking news, and natu-rally everyone was sharing the de-tails. I was horrified, and shocked.

In history class, we are currently studying the Enlightenment period. Today’s focus was on liberalism, one of the ideologies that sprouted off of the Enlightenment. Our teach-er explained to us that freedom, or liberty, has limits. Freedom has limits just by the definition of the idea that everyone has freedom. If a person has freedom, then a second person cannot murder the first, be-cause that would interfere with the first person’s freedom. Our teacher explained to us that we should not generalize, we should not make blanket statements, we should not wish to wipe out every Arab every-where. However, the Israeli society is one in which the human natural rights are obtained by every person as soon as they are born. Our teach-er said that anyone who interferes with these rights, with this system of respecting the rights that every person deserves to have by simply being here, has no place among us. Those are the people who must be expelled.

At our school we have arranged buses that take us home from school, which we call our “hasa’ot.” Today some of them did not come, includ-

ing mine. Why? A Palestinian bus driver was believed to have com-mitted suicide, but many palestin-ians blamed the Jews for his death. Therefore, the palestinian bus driv-ers went on strike. So, since my mother told me that I should avoid public buses after the incident, I split a fifty shekel taxi ride with my friend.

Why should I have to do that? Why should I have to live in fear, to talk about war and killing and terrorist attacks with my friends at school instead of our weekend plans? To pay money out of my pocket because my bus did not show up, because of a palestinian strike over a suicide? Why should anyone have to?

The rabbi of our school came to speak to us a few days ago. He told us to remember that the minute we are scared, the minute we give in to their terrorizing, is the minute that we give up. Aware, yes. Saddened by the unfortunate victims? Very much so. But scared? No. We can-not become scared because that is their goal. Our goal is to continue our lives, continue our studies, con-tinue talking about our weekend plans. To remember that G-d runs the world and that this is a country that values the true meaning of lib-erty.

Now, granted, I just moved here. Now that I am close to the action, I feel much more connected to it. I feel the burden of not fearing and continuing on, and it is one of the heaviest tasks I have ever had to bear. The Israelis here have been honing this skill their whole lives, unfortunately. Up close I am even more blown away by their strength, by their faith in G-d and in our Is-raeli government and Israeli army. If they can do it, if they can be strong, so can we. We will continue to pray, continue our lives, and G-d willing, continue on until we reach the end of this difficult phase of ter-ror, war, and fear.

four years, grew up with him, since their two families were close. “The Twersky family were and are the only people I could ever turn to in times like this.”

Twersky also excelled academi-cally. According to Katz, he was “always a terrific student and more than willing to help some of his friends who struggled with some of the more challenging concepts we were learning in Talmud or phys-ics.” In fact, Langermann added that already in seventh grade, Twer-sky was assigned to the twelfth grade Talmud class, but his teacher found that it was too easy for him. Langermann also said that Twersky helped him with his homework and “probably prepared me to be able to pass the … comprehensive exami-nation that was required for a He-brew diploma in those days.”

Langermann described how he once entered Twersky’s yeshiva lat-er in life. Despite being out of place in his short sleeves and tan pants, and despite all of Rabbi Twersky’s students looking on, Twerksy ran over and hugged Langermann “with the warmest of greetings.” Langer-mann believes that Twersky wanted his students to learn what mattered to him, and he stated that he “can still feel that hug today.”

The next speaker was Rabbi Ger-shon Segal, who spoke about the special connection between the Boston Jewish Community and the Twersky and Soloveitchik families.

“They, for several generations, shaped the Torah community that

we and our families enjoy today.”Rabbi Segal also discuss the bond

between Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveit-chik, the founder of Maimonides School, and Rabbi Twersky, his grandson. According to Rabbi Se-gal, Rabbi Soloveitchik felt that learning with his grandson “gave him his energy, his optimism for the future.” Rabbi Twersky then real-ized that optimism by transmitting the Torah tradition to his own stu-dents.

Therefore, Twersky being “snatched from us because of a bru-tal and barbaric attack … shakes us all. That which was a symbol … of the continuation” of the Jewish tra-dition was taken away.

Rabbi Segal asked those present to think about how Twersky’s moth-er, whom he called “a matriarch of this community,” must feel that her son—wrapped in his tallit and te-fillin and involved in a “deep con-nection with” God—was murdered “brutally and horrifically, in an ani-malistic attack.”

“The only consolation is that we know that the Torah that he taught to his many students, to his many children, to the entire Torah world ... will continue.”

According to Rabbi Segal, Twerky died and lived in the sancti-fication of God’s name.

Rabbi Segal then ceded the podi-um to Yehuda Yaakov, Consul Gen-eral of Israel to New England.

Yaakov said that the most recent attack strikes particularly close to home because, among other things,

his eighty-five year-old father in law prays daily at a synagogue five minutes away.

Yaakov noted that Rabbi Twer-sky’s memorial was the fourth time in ten months that he had spoken at a synagogue following a trag-edy. He blamed the latest murders, in part, on incitement by Palestin-ian Authority Prime Minister Mah-moud Abbas, who one week earlier had “said that the Jewish presence in Jerusalem contaminated the en-vironment.”

Yaakov also noted that a week earlier, Iran’s supreme leader had issued a nine point plan on how to annihilate Israel.

“It’s not a stretch to figure out that saying the Jews ‘contaminated Je-rusalem’ [could] lead, very quickly, to the killing of Jews in Jerusalem,” Yaakov said. “[Secretary of State John Kerry] directly connected the act of terrorism with incitement … We all remember the Second Intifa-da. We all remember the words that killed Israelis back then. This is not something new.”

Yaakov made clear, however, that he was not calling all non-Jews evil.

“It was only four … It could have been many more. Because of a non-Jew, Zidan Seif, a Druze police-man, more Jewish lives weren’t lost … It’s not about Jews against the ‘other.’”

The Consul General hoped that moving forward, the international community will better see what is going on in Israel. He also said that Israel has “much more work to do

in protecting ourselves.”“Unfortunately for us, we warn

and warn again, and people don’t listen to us until it becomes trage-dy,” he said. “Hopefully, things will change today.”

The final speaker of the night was Barry Shrage, President of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston.

“Aren’t we tired of standing to-gether to mourn, to pray to try to understand something that seems to be unthinkably incomprehensi-ble? Why did this happen?” Shrage asked.

He went on to say that Jews care about “the destiny of humankind,” whereas the murderers are not con-cerned. Therefore, the world will either “defeat the people who come to destroy the world and join the people who come to save it, or the opposite will happen, and the world will go down in flames.”

Shrage said that Rabbi Twersky epitomizes the Jewish philosophy of love. “The life that Rabbi Twer-sky led [represents] the best that hu-mankind should stand for.”

The memorial ended with prayers for the injured in the attacks, those who died, and other people in dan-gerous situations worldwide, as well as with Israel’s national an-them, Hatikva.

Memorial for Rabbi Mosheh Twersky Held at MaimonidesContinued from page S1

Editors’ note: The following is a copy of the speech that Naty Katz gave during the memorial service held at Maimonides. The text was provided to Spectrum by Mr. Katz.

Today was an unbearably hor-rible, tragic day for Am Yisrael [The Jewish People], for our communi-ty, and for our school. We learned that our friend and alumnus Rabbi Mosheh Twersky, ztz”l, was sense-lessly murdered along with three other men at morning minyan in Yerushalayim. For all these fami-lies, we are heartbroken. We are numb. We don’t know what to say, or even what to think. In Hebrew we would say, ein milim—there are no words.

I struggled to focus today to write some words to share with you about Rabbi Mosheh Twersky before he was Rabbi Mosheh Twersky—when

he was just Mosheh Twersky, my friend and classmate on the first day of kindergarten, who had some of the poise and maturity that I lacked, who showed me around a bit and as-sured me I was going to be all right in this big, strange new place called Maimonides School. Mosheh was always a terrific student, and more than willing to help out some of his friends who struggled with the more challenging concepts we were learning in Talmud or physics.

While academics was clearly the focus for Mosheh, when we were in middle and upper school, he was most valued as a reliable, relent-less offensive lineman and blocker in our intramural football games. When he made a particularly good play, he never said a word, but he couldn’t keep the huge smile off his face when he returned to the huddle.

Mosheh and I were in the same Talmud shiur [class] for a couple of years. He totally wrecked the grad-ing curve. As he studied regularly with his father, the Talner Rebbe, ztz”l, and his grandfather, the Rav, ztz”l, Mosheh was a very reliable, go-to guy before every Gemara test. When I saw Mosheh after his first year at Harvard, I asked him how hard it was. With his shy smile he said, “It’s not that hard.”

Mosheh of course went on to be-come a prolific Torah scholar and a renowned Talmud rebbe in the tra-dition of his remarkable family. And this is one of the reasons that Moshe was so dear to us. He was a Torah scholar of the highest rank and a dynamic link in the chain of our school’s mesorah [tradition], begin-ning with the founding of our school by his grandfather, Rabbi Joseph B.

Soloveitchik, in 1937, through his late father, Rabbi Isadore Twersky, and his beloved mother, Dr. Atarah Twersky. His grandfather pioneered the torah u’madah worldview [a worldview that combines Jewish and secular knowledge] that is the very essence of our school’s mis-sion. Maimonides School and the Soloveitchik/Twersky families are eternally bound together.

Today, Maimonides mourns the untimely loss of a beloved member of our family. I will always remem-ber Mosheh for his modesty, his brilliance, his smile, and his kind-ness. And Am Yisrael and our com-munity will remember Mosheh for his towering scholarship and his gentle menschlichkeit [the quality of being a mensch]. Yehi zichro ba-ruch [May his memory be blessed]!

Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg

If you wanted to find Rabbi Avra-ham Shmuel Goldberg, 68, it is very likely that he was in the bookstore. Rabbi Goldberg went there every week to buy a new religious book to explore. He loved learning and was always looking for something new.

Goldberg, a British Rabbi origi-nally from Liverpool, lived in Gold-ers Green in London. He moved to Israel in 1993.

When Rabbi Goldberg was not learning, he worked in publish-ing, built computer programs, and helped ultra-orthodox Jews who were looking for jobs.

He was described by a close friend as a “pillar of the community.” He and his family—a wife, Breine, six children, and grandchildren—were “the nicest people you could meet.” Rabbi Goldberg’s biggest desire was to live a peaceful life.

First Sgt. Zidan Saif

Many called Zidan Saif a hero, but to him, his actions were just part of the job. Saif, a Druze from the vil-lage of Kfar Yanouch, was the rea-son that a five person massacre in Har Nof was not a ten, or fifteen, or fifty person massacre. The 30-year-old Israeli Police officer rushed to the scene of the attack and immedi-ately opened fire from the doorway of the synagogue, wounding one of the terrorists before being shot fa-tally. The fact that Saif was a Druze, and not a Jew, makes his ultimate

sacrifice that much greater. He did not share a bond of blood with those he defended. His first instinct was to rise to the situation, and serve his role as a policeman of The State of Israel. Only his civic duty moti-vated him in his final moments, and that is an instinct to be praised. He charged into danger without a sec-ond thought, simply because he felt that it was his obligation, without desiring heroics. He left behind a wife, and a four month old daugh-ter.

Zidan Saif deserves to be remem-bered. He went above and beyond his obligation. And in the words of Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, “What can we say to a five-month-old baby girl who will not know her father, who will grow up an orphan? We will tell her that her father was a hero.”

Rabbi Kalman Ze’ev Levine

Rabbi Kalman Levine was a man of God. From the testimony of his friends, and those who knew him, this is the clear picture that stitch-es together the memory of the late Rabbi. Kalman had a humble spiri-tual upbringing. He was born in Kansas City, but died within the borders of the greatest spiritual ha-ven on earth. Humility and thought-fulness were his most central traits. “He was a person without malice,” his brother-in-law Jonathan Bein said. A remarkably quick study from an early age, Kalman Levine had devoted his entire life to To-rah learning after moving to Israel. His youthful energy was infectious, even as he got older.

“He was an adventurous, energet-ic person. He never lost that youth-ful exuberance,” said his close friend, Rabbi Shimon Kraft. “An amazing, amazing man,” he said.

Almost proof to Rabbi Levine’s patience and humility was his good friendship with Rabbi Kraft, which continued undisturbed until the day he died, despite the fact that Rab-bi Kraft had married and divorced Rabbi Levine’s younger sister.

The Jewish community has lost a priceless treasure in Rabbi Levine. He was the golden example of a learned man, a trusted friend, and a good Jew.

Rabbi Mosheh Twersky

Rabbi Twersky, the grandson of Rav Soloveitchik, grew up in Bos-ton and immigrated to Israel in 1990.

Yeshiva University called him an “eminent educator.” In fact, Twer-sky was the head of Yeshiva Toras Moshe, a yeshiva focused on stu-dents from English-speaking coun-tries. His yeshiva was one of the first of its kind in Israel. He once walked through a snowstorm in Je-rusalem just to teach.

His brother-in-law, Rabbi Jona-than Rosenblatt, described him as a “gentle, saintly scholar.” Likewise, his student, Shlomo Buxbaum, re-calls learning with Rabbi Twersky as a unique experience. Despite his immense knowledge of both secu-lar and religious studies, he learned with his students not as a teacher, but as an equal—asking questions, contemplating answers, offering answers, and accepting disagree-ment.

Twersky was an extremely hum-ble man. He sat in the back of the hall at his yeshiva as he felt no need to sit at the front, in front of every-one. Another student, Gavriel Fried-man, wrote: “I once asked him for a blessing, and he turned the tables, insisting that I give him a blessing instead!”

Rabbi Twersky’s wife, Miriam, his two daughters, and his three sons remember him as a good and holy man. “On Shabbat nights he never slept but rather learned Torah.” His son remembers often waking up at two in the morning and seeing his father sitting in his chair still learn-ing from the night before.

Rabbi Twersky was buried in Je-rusalem’s Gival Shaul Cemetery, and he will be remembered by both his family and the entire Boston Jewish community.

Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky

Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky, 43, was born and raised in Detroit, Michi-gan. He attended the Akiva Hebrew Day School in Detroit until he and his family moved to Israel when he was ten.

While he worked in computers for most of his life, his real passion was Torah learning. His passion shone through whenever he was studying. Kupinsky was never sat-isfied with just a question; he would analyze and discuss anything right then and there. There was no stop-ping to think quietly.

While Kupinsky towered above many—in fact, as he was being buried, everyone there had to wait in the dark because the grave was not big enough and had to be made larger—and was famous for his long red beard, most remember him for his huge heart. He would go to great lengths to help anyone who needed it.

As Rabbi Jonathan Taub said, Rabbi Kupinsky could simply not be a guest. He would arrive early to set up tables and bring in food. He would stay long past the end of a simcha to clean up. He was also known to, as a young man in yeshi-va, have a sign on his dorm reading “Please borrow anything—no need to ask.”

Rabbi Kupinsky is survived by his wife and four children.
