Ripes, Moshe Aharon; 25: Born in Minsk, Russia in 1904. He studied with well-known rabbis. After only two years, he graduated high school with honors. For five years he led the Zionist group ‘Tiferet Bachorim’ before coming to Hebron in 1926. Here, he studied at the Tiferet Israel yeshiva and experienced the liberation from the pogroms in Russia. In all, he helped 32 Jews escape Russia and come to Israel and in the summer of 1929, he had saved enough money to bring his parents to Eretz Yisrael. His killers didn’t let him finish the Prayer of Forgiveness before stabbing him repeatedly in the heart. When his family arrived in Eretz Yisrael, they found that Moshe was one of the martyrs of Hebron.
