abbi Aharon Katz, assis-
tant director of the kollel,
or adult yeshiva, at Bar-
lan University, has a par-
ticularly excruciating memory of
Yigal Amir.
Three years ago, Rabbi Katz
was teaching Mr. Amir and oth-
ers the Talmudic passages on din
rodef — where it says that if a
rodef, or assailant, is on the verge
of murdering someone, a by-
stander is permitted to kill the
rodef. That's because there is no
time to turn to the authorities to
protect the innocent.
One year after Yitzhak Rabin's
assassination and with his mur-
derer sitting in jail, Orthodox
Jews who studied with Mr. Amir
have some interesting things to
say about him.
"Yigal Amir didn't speak up in
class; he didn't incite; he just sat
quietly and studied seriously,"
Rabbi Katz recalled.
After the assassination, Mr.
Amir claimed that Rabin was a
rodef and that he had executed
him according to Jewish law. "In
my worst nightmare I never

gal Amir used to sit here." While
Rabbi Katz said Mr. Amir's name
comes up in conversations, oth-
er students said it doesn't.
"Nobody ever talks about him.
He has no influence on us today,
just like he had no influence on us
when he was here," said a student
who gave his name only as Yishai.
"He was a lone wolf"
The mark is there, but its out-
lines are vague. Asked how the
murder had affected the way he
teaches Jewish texts, Rabbi Katz
said he couldn't give any exam-
ples, but added, "I'm sure it has,
even if in a subconscious way.
We've come to appreciate that it's
not only what you say, but how
you say it."
Rabbi Katz noted that he has
not taught din rodef in the last
year, but that if he did, he's sure
the memory of Mr. Amir's pres-
ence in those lessons three years
ago would affect his presentation.
"But that doesn't mean I look at
every student and ask myself,
'Hmm, could this one turn out to
be another Yigal Amir?"' he
added.

Yigal Amir in an Israeli court.
dreamed that a person who stud-
ied Talmud with me would take
a pistol and murder the prime
minister in the name of the
Torah," Rabbi Katz said.
The knowledge that Yigal Amir
sat in the classes and studyhalls
of the kollel and that he drew his
inspiration from Jewish religious
texts has left a mark on the insti-
tution and its roughly 400 stu-
dents.
"We carry it with us. It hovers
over us," said Rabbi Katz.
On closer inspection, this re-
mark seemed an overstatement.
Neither Rabbi Katz nor any of the
students interviewed said they
ever sat in class and thought, "Yi-
Kollel student Arye Frei put it
this way: "Until the assassina-
tion we thought there was no
connection between what we
learn and what we do in real life.
Now that's changed. We some-
times get the feeling that maybe
it's not black or white, maybe
there's a middle way." He
couldn't give any examples of
this, though.
Mr. Frei saw one clear conse-
quence of the assassination: Stu-
dents at the kollel, along with
religious Jews throughout the
country, feel that secular Israel
blames them for the crime.
"We feel harassed," Mr. Frei
said. "People think that we kill
