Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion inaugurated a new pathway named after Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, OBM, one of the most prolific scholars and commentators on Jewish teachings of the last century.
The new street, Shvil HaRav Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, is located by Gan Hapaamon on Jabotinsky Street in the Talbiya neighborhood of Jerusalem. It stands as a tribute to Rabbi Even-Israel’s enduring legacy in Torah scholarship and education. The ceremony was attended by City Council and community members, his wife, and sons, Rabbi Menachem Even-Israel and Rabbi Amechayen Even-Israel, who now lead the Steinsaltz Center.
In the 1960s, he founded the Institute for Talmudic Publications, and published his groundbreaking commentary on the Gemara. His work, guided personally by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, revolutionized access to Gemara study by making it more accessible to a broader audience.
His life’s mission was to make Jewish knowledge accessible to all, helping countless individuals connect deeply with their heritage.
