Rabbi Binyamin Yosef Kalmanzon, one of the leaders of Otniel Yeshiva, sobbed as he eulogized Rabbi Michael Mark, his brother-in-law.
"Miki, my friend, my life partner, my advisor when I was confused, younger than me, who became my mentor in many areas," he spoke brokenly, "You arrived at the yeshiva, and everything fell into place with you. The residents and the students that helped build this yeshiva in this wonderful town now need tremendous strength."
