Yehuda's Legacy

Nachalat Yehuda is named for two of our finest young men, both named Yehuda, friends in life, together in death. Both died too young, but both left a legacy of caring for their community and love for their families. Nachalat Yehuda is our way of remembering:

Yehuda Aryeh Brand, z"l who departed from this world at age 18, was a well-respected youth leader and considered it his obligation to help kids through their issues with both Judaism and life in general. His gift was his love and compassion for all Jews. His message today carries on not only through his family, but also through the entire community.

Yehuda Ben Yosef, z”l died at the age of 22. Just a week after being discharged from the army, Yehuda and a friend were working as security guards, protecting a critical communications antenna near Hebron. The army he served so well, mistook Yehuda for a terrorist and opened fire killing both boys.
