Baruch to Israel David Friedman, was delayed dayan HaEmet.” FACEBOOK T housands of people gathered at the Kfar Etzion cemetery in Israel just before midnight Sept. 16 to eulogize and lay to rest Ari Fuld, a 45-year-old father of four living in Judea whose fight against the terror- ist who stabbed him earlier in the day earned him acclaim throughout the country as a hero. “You were a good man. I’m not sure how to go on without you,” Fuld’s wife, Miriam, said at the funeral. “You were always running toward danger instead of away from it, and you never backed down from a fight because you knew you were in the right. “You fought for what you believed in,” she added. “You’ve left behind a legacy for the entire world to savor — videos and stories that we will be tell- ing for many years to come.” Fuld, a well-known Israel advocate who promoted Jewish life in all of Israel via social and traditional media, was waiting for an order of falafel to be ready at the Gush Etzion shopping Rena Roetter of Oak Park: “He was a really great rabbi always bending over backward to help someone and listen to someone.” Fuld held dual U.S. and Israeli citi- zenship and was a 1991 graduate of Yeshiva University in New York. “He was a true hero. Not only in his death, but all of his life,” eulogized Fuld’s father, Rabbi Yonah Fuld. “He was a giant of strength, of passion, of love for his family. He was a hero to all.” Fuld’s father noted that the family had received tens of thousands of mes- sages of support from people all over the world, including from staunchly Muslim countries. “He gave his life to sanctify God, to sanctify the land,” said the rabbi. “If you would have asked him, that’s the way he would have said he wanted to go.” • JNS.org contributed to this report.
