89th Memorial for the 1929 Hebron Massacre

The annual conference and memorial for the 1929 Hebron Massacre will take place on July 19, 2018. Known in Hebrew as TARPAT, an acronym for the Hebrew date corresponding to 1929, the riots resulted in the expulsion of the Jewish community. The annual conference is sponsored by Midreshet Hevron.
