A dignified portrait of a Torah teacher and man of kindness, whose life of generosity, faith, and quiet devotion continues to inspire.
Some people are remembered for what they gave. Rabbi Yoram Abergel of Netivot passed away at 58, leaving tens of thousands of students. In Netivot a great house of study was built in his memory, where his path continues: Torah, kindness and faith, with an open heart. The portrait was painted in gratitude for a life like that.
The story behind the painting
Three moments from his life
Moshav Barosh, 1957A Child of the Negev
He was born in the Negev to parents who had come from Morocco, and studied at a Chabad Talmud Torah and at Yeshivat HaNegev, where his path took shape.
Netivot, 1985Kol Rina
He founded a kollel in Netivot and named it for his mother, Rina. From it grew the Be'er Mayim Chayim network of kindergartens, schools and a yeshiva, along with a charity that feeds families in need.
Every morningA Lesson at Sunrise
For years he taught Tanya straight after the sunrise prayer. When he passed away at 58, tens of thousands came to accompany him.
