immigrated to Israel in 1982 with
their five children. As an adult, Aryeh
lived with his wife and five children
in the Har Nof neighborhood of
Jerusalem, where he was known for
his selflessness and generosity.
Rabbi Ephraim Schwartz, an
Israeli resident who grew up on the
same Oak Park block as Aryeh and
remained friendly with him in Israel,
wrote about his longtime friend in his
blog, Insights and Inspiration from
the Holy Land. Schwartz described
how Aryeh had purchased some
small freezers for a family simchah
(celebration) and decided to adver-
tise the creation of a kindness fund
for anyone who needed to borrow a
freezer.
"Aryeh was just full of love for his
fellow man:' Schwartz wrote. "Each
Purim, he would get dressed up as a
clown to be the crossing guard for the
kids. He was someone that was full of
thoughtfulness and joy of life, and he
was also a man of tremendous faith.
He was a Torah scholar who worked
in computers to support his family.
But if you asked him what he did,
his learning was always the way he
defined himself'
Aryeh's faith was tested two years
ago when his daughter, Chaya Chana,
died in her sleep at age 13. According
to Schwartz, Aryeh was determined
to establish new organizations to per-
petuate her memory by helping and
inspiring others.

A Nation Mourns
Four of the synagogue victims
were rabbis with dual citizenship;
they were also neighbors who lived
on the same street. Rabbis Aryeh
Kupinsky, Calman Levine, 55, and
Moshe Twersky, 59, who was from a
prominent Boston Modern Orthodox
family, were born in the United
States; Rabbi Avraham Goldberg, 68,
was from England. Together they left
behind four widows and 24 orphans.
The fifth victim was 1st Sgt. Zidan
Nahad Saif, 30, of Yanuh-Jat, an
Israeli Druze police officer who was
shot in the head during the gunfight,
leaving behind his wife and infant
daughter.
Thousands of mourners gath-
ered for the joint funeral of Rabbis
Kupinsky, Levine and Goldberg, who
were buried at Givat Shaul cemetery
on Nov. 18. The funeral for Rabbi
Twersky was held earlier that day.
Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky is survived
by his wife, Yaakova; their five chil-
dren, aged 5 to 16; sister, Nechama;
brothers, Chaim, David Yaakov and
Dovi;, and his parents, Bracha and
Shlomo. He was also the loving father
of the late Chaya Chana.

Israeli Shuls Consider
Increasing Security

How is the attack on the synagogue in
the Har Nof area of Jerusalem affect-
ing the Jewish state's roughly 11,000
other synagogues?
"Of course, we are all reeling from
this terror that has echoes of the
Kishinev pogrom over 100 years
ago and the Hevron massacre in
1929," says Rabbi Daniel Beller of
Kehillat Shivtei Yisrael synagogue in
Ra'anana. "Yes, we do plan to be more
vigilant at shul."
Heightened security is a common
theme among Israeli synagogue lead-
ers, particularly regarding Shabbat.
At the Mizmor LeDavid synagogue
in the trendy Jerusalem neighborhood
of Baka, where more than 200 crowd
into the building each Friday night for
a rousing Kabbalat Shabbat service,
there is talk of hiring a guard — some-
one who packs a gun and knows how
to use it.
"We know we need to do this.
Though it's certainly not anything
we ever wanted to do," says Naomi
Goldberg, wife of Rabbi Mordechai
Goldberg, the congregation's leader.
