Dr. Baruch Kappel Goldstein, ZT"L, HY"D

Murdered February 25, 1994 - 14 Adar, 5754 in Hebron.
Dr. Baruch Kappel Goldstein was a student of Rabbi Meir Kahane. He was a saintly man and a medical doctor who saved the lives of Jews injured in terrorist attacks. He commited the ulitmate act of mesirut nefesh in giving his life for The Jewish People in order to prevent a massacre. Following the signing of Oslo, the Arab Muslim Nazi terrorism of course continued and even got worse. It got so bad that around Purim in 1994, a repeat of the 1929 Arab massacre of The Jews of Hebron was planned. Goldstein had had enough and decided to take action since the government refused to. He stopped the massacre in its tracks and on Purim Day, February 25, 1994, killed 29 Arabs in The Cave of The Machpelah in Hebron, before he was killed by illegaly armed Arabs. Since the government wasn't doing anything about the plans of a massacre against Hebron's Jews, he took matters into his own hands and killed all the Hamans planning to kill Jews instead of them killing us just like on the original Purim.
