Actor Uri Zohar today (Sunday) introduced a Torah scroll for the soul of his friend and son-in-law, the singer Arik Einstein, who died eight years ago. The book will be placed in the Ark in the Beit Midrash "Lev Laachim" in Zichron Yaacov. School funding, estimated to cost about one hundred thousand shekels, made by real estate entrepreneur Elon Amram.

"They not only had been friends from the field and ultimately relatives, they loved each other dearly," said Abraham Ziibald, a disciple of Rabbi Uri Zohar for thirty years, "they were talking on the phone at least twice a week."

while writing the book expressed many fans of Einstein desire to contribute themselves for the purpose - and actually started writing another book for his soul. "it is a great privilege," said Nathan object, Operators of the "Heart for Brothers" organization, of which Rabbi Uri Zohar is one of the leaders, says that about half the work has already been done - and it is expected to be perfect next year.

"Uri Zohar felt in his heart that he had to do something for his father-in-law, and that's how it started," Hefetz said.

"He said it on TV a year ago, and philanthropist Alon Amram heard it - and immediately volunteered and said the book was 'about him.' That's how it started. Exactly a year ago."

Amram shared the story from his side.

"It was one Sunday, eight or nine months ago, when I saw Uri Zohar on television saying that he really wanted to put a Torah scroll to lift the spirits of his late friend Arik Einstein."

When he saw the phone number for the pictures, he called immediately. " For donations of ten shekels, I immediately called and said I wanted to donate.

They asked for a few shekels, and I said, 'No, you do not understand.

I want to donate the whole book. "

The following Wednesday he was already at Zohar's house with the author who wrote the book. "This is not the first book I have contributed, I have already written several in my life," he said.

Uri asked how much I wanted to donate, and I said it all, and that the donations of others would be saved for something else important.

We agreed even then that today it would happen - on the eve of Hanukkah - the anniversary of the death of Arik Einstein. "

He said he took on the task even though he has no special connection to Einstein's works. .

It's not Zohar Argov or Eyal Golan that I hear, but Arik Einstein is Arik Einstein.

I know how to appreciate his contribution to Israeli music and the soundtrack of our lives, and it is an honor for me to help with something like this to lift his spirits. "
