The Siyum of Masechet Yoma is dedicated by Esti Ben-David and Rachel Keren – neés Urbach “In memory of our parents who opened the gates of Torah for us and guided us through them. In memory of our late Father, Ephraim Elimelech Urbach z”l, whose 30th Yahrzeit we have just commemorated. During his lifetime, our father never stopped learning and teaching generations of students. Through his research, he developed new, extensive and diverse fields of learning and research, as testified by his numerous books and academic papers: The Sages – Concepts and Beliefs, The Tosafists (Baalei HaTosafot), The Halakha – Its Sources and Developments, Arugat Ha’Bosem and many others. And in honor of our dear mother, Channa Urbach, may she live a long life, who is currently celebrating her 103rd birthday (til 120!) and who has been throughout her life a model for all her descendants of the love of the Torah, its study and practice.”
