Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt, who is named after the city where he served as rabbi until his last day, and was also buried there, is known for his famous sefer , "Panim Me'irot".

An American delegation led by Paul Facker arrived yesterday at the ancient cemetery. And said "We are here because it is our duty to recognize, celebrate and preserve our Jewish heritage." He then added that this is very important when the Jewish heritage is threatened by forces that seek to deny our right to celebrate who we are and where we came from." We must ensure that our work on this issue does not end here. And of course, to our homeland, the Land of Israel.
