An anonymous Jewish hero

Posted

Late at night, somewhere in the sands of Iran, an elderly Rabbi is leading a group of Iranian Jews to freedom.

He has made it his life’s mission to do so, risking his life and running huge costs. And it was his father’s experiences in the Holocaust that give him the strength to do this…

Rabbi Noam Himelstein studied in Yeshivat Har Etzion and served in the Tanks Corps of the IDF.

He has taught in yeshiva high schools, post-high school women’s seminaries, and headed the Torah MiTzion Kollel in Melbourne, Australia. He currently teaches at Yeshivat Orayta in Jerusalem, and lives with his wife and six children in Neve Daniel, Gush Etzion.
