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.


 


SCHEDULE:


 


12:30 – 3:00 PM – Lectures


 


* Dr. Moshe Arnwald: The writing on the wall: Hebron and the Events of 1929.
In this lecture, we will try to understand the background to the outbreak of riots in
Hebron. Was there any prior knowledge of the Arab intentions?

Hebron – Review, Locating and Ownership of Jewish Property in Hebron and Their Legal
Status. For the first time, a comprehensive survey of the assets of Jews in Hebron
since the riots and their legal status will be presented.



* Colonel (Reserve) and former Deputy Minister of Education Moshe Peled, of Beit
Hashita – Between Tel Nordau and Tel Hebron. A lecture on the educator Eliezer
Dubnikov (also spelled Dobnikov). A fascinating personal testimony about the family of
Chaim Eliezer and Chana Dubnikov, who arrived in Hebron on that terrible
weekend with their two children and were brutally murdered. The first members of
the Dubnikov family will take part in the lecture, which will come especially from
around Israel and abroad.

and Col. David Shapira (nee Lichtenstein), Etzion Commander-in-Chief – “I Fell,
but I Arose” – The Story of the Lichtenstein family. The death of his
grandfather Ze’ev Elimelech Lichtenstein in Hebron — the death of his two
grandsons Yaakov and Avner during the War of Independence in 1949 — the closure of
the circle of the third grandson, Eli Avner, who was the commander of the Jerusalem
brigade that liberated Hebron In the Six-Day War, and later as deputy governor of Hebron
and his tragic death a few months later. The family has wide circles in Hebron and
Jerusalem, and its representatives will come and share with us at the seminar and at the
