“Make the Important
Things Important”
An Interview with Rabbanit Chana Henkin
about Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin hy”d
On Chol HaMoed Sukkot, 2015, the Jewish world was horror-struck when Rabbi Eitam
and Naama Henkin were murdered at point-blank range by Arab terrorists. As they
were driving to their home in Neria, Palestinian gunmen opened fire, killing Rav Eitam
and Naama in front of their four children.
By the time of his death at age 31, Rav Eitam had authored over fifty articles and four
books. Those who grasped his gifts forecast for him a future as a rabbinic luminary.
This past March, Maggid Books released Studies in Halakhah and Rabbinic History,
a sampling of Rav Eitam’s halachic and historical works, reflecting his wide range of
interests within both of these genres.
Rabbi Aron White sat down with Rav Eitam’s mother, Rabbanit Chana Henkin, who
edited the volume, to learn more about the book and the legacy of Rav Eitam and
Naama hy”d as we observe their seventh yahrzeit.
