These are the six victims of the terror attack in Jerusalem

A teacher, a rabbi, a father of six, a grandmother, a newlywed immigrant, and a former American cardiologist were killed Monday when terrorists opened fire at a Jerusalem bus stop on Monday morning.

The two gunmen, Palestinian residents of the West Bank, arrived at the Ramot Junction shortly after 10 a.m. — according to some reports, by car — and opened fire at people waiting at a bus stop as well as at a bus that had just stopped there.

The spot, near several ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, is among Jerusalem’s busiest intersections, often crowded with people waiting for buses, hitchhikers, pedestrians, and others.

The attack ended when a soldier and a number of civilians who were present at the scene fired at the terrorists, killing them, police said.

The dead were named as Levi Yitzhak Pash, 57, Yaakov Pinto, 25, Yisrael Matzner, 28, Rabbi Yosef David, 43, Rabbi Mordechai Steintzag, 79, and Sarah Mendelson, 60. All were residents of Jerusalem except for Pash, who lived in Tel Zion in the central West Bank.

These are their stories.

Yosef David, 43

David was a Torah scholar who had recently taken a job as a prayer instructor at a Haredi elementary school, the ultra-Orthodox news site JDN reported.

According to the site, David was murdered when he was waiting for the bus from his job to the yeshiva where he pursued his own Torah studies. Witnesses told Hebrew media that he died clutching his books.

His family described him as a pious scholar who rose early every morning without fault, and always had a wide smile on his face, JDN said.

He is survived by his wife and four children, according to JDN.

Yisrael Matzner, 28

Matzner, a father of three, was born in Bnei Brak and attended Haredi elementary schools in central Israel before going on to study at the venerated Hebron Yeshiva in Jerusalem, according to ultra-Orthodox news site Behadrei Haredim.

After he wed, Matzner pursued further Torah study at Jerusalem’s Meisharim kollel (a yeshiva for married men), the news site said, quoting people in the institution as saying: “Rabbi Yisrael was noble with a gentle soul… full of Torah and intelligence and wisdom.”

He is survived by his wife and children, as well as his parents, the news site said.

Sara Mendelson, 60

Mendelson, also known as “Sarita,” was on her way to work at the national headquarters of Bnei Akiva, a religious Zionist youth group, where she was a member of the national leadership, the movement said.

According to the movement, Mendelson had “for decades” managed municipal relations in the movement’s treasury.

Netanel Alek, the movement’s deputy secretary-general, was quoted in Hebrew media as saying “Sarita was kind of the mother of Bnei Akiva and was “always smiling to everyone.”

“She was always thinking how to invest the money in children and the needy,” he added.

Mendelson was born in Argentina and immigrated to Israel with her family when she was 7, according to Ashdodnet, a local news site in Ashdod, where she spent part of her childhood.

She is survived by her husband, four children, and several grandchildren, according to a condolence message and Hebrew media.

Levi Yitzhak Pash, 57

Pash was on his way to his job at Yeshivat Kol Torah, a large Haredi institution in Jerusalem’s Bayit Vagan neighborhood, where he was a maintenance worker.

He was “well-known in the neighborhood, did many good deeds, gave charity widely, and studied Torah frequently,” the yeshiva said.

Pinchas, a student at the yeshiva, was quoted by religious newspaper Makor Rishon as saying Pash was hitching a ride from the Ramot Junction and was about to take the last seat in a car before giving it up to another person who was on the way to a doctor’s appointment.

“He was a janitor, but when I needed to ask questions in Halacha (Jewish law) I knew I could ask him,” said Pinchas.

Pash is survived by his father, his wife and six children, according to ultra-Orthodox media.

Yaakov Pinto, 25

Pinto was a recent emigre from Spain who wed two months ago. He was a student at the Derech Emunah yeshiva in Lod and worked as a counselor in the dormitories of Hedvat HaTorah Yeshiva High School, a Haredi high school in Jerusalem’s Romema neighborhood. Unlike many Haredi schools, Hedvat HaTorah integrates secular subjects at an advanced level into its intense course of Torah study.

Rabbi Meshulam Brandwein, the headmaster, told Haaretz that Pinto’s family could not make it to his wedding because of the war with Iran in June.

“We were a family to him,” he said. “He left an entire environment and culture and came here with the motivation to be part of us, and indeed, he succeeded — not just to be a part of us but to be a significant and elevated part. He was a kind-hearted man. We’re all stunned and grieving.”

Pinto is survived by his parents and wife.

Mordechai Steintzag, 79

Steintzag, also known as Mark, was a former cardiologist and the proprietor of Dr. Mark’s Bakery in Beit Shemesh, which supplies healthy breads across Israel.

According to the bakery’s website, Steintzag immigrated to Israel from the United States in 1993, and, recognizing a lack in healthy bread varieties, used his “medical knowledge and inspiration from Pennsylvania country life” in a mission to make healthier breads more widespread.

“He dedicated his life to a path of health and humanity. For him, bread was not just a food but a symbol of warmth, home, belonging and giving,” the bakery said in a statement, offering condolences to Steintzag’s family.
