Thursday marks the eighth anniversary of the killing of Binyamin Kahane and his wife, Talia, who were murdered in a terrorist attack on the way to their Tapuach home. Binyamin Kahane was the son of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, who was assassinated by an Arab terrorist’s gunshot in a Manhattan hotel in 1990.

Rabbi Shmuel Cohen, Tapuach’s communal rabbi along with Gershon Masika, the mayor of Samaria participated in memorial services at Tapuach’s Central Synagogue. Dr. Michael Ben-Ari, who is in the number four spot of the National Union party list, attended the services. Ben-Ari was a close friend and study partner of Rabbi Binyamin Kahane at the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva.
