Haifa
The beloved and unforgettable founder of the community was Father Daniel Rufeisen, a Polish Jew and Carmelite monk, who immigrated to Israel in the mid 1950s. He served as the priest of the community for many years. Father Daniel was well known throughout the country as a hero who saved hundreds of Jews during the Shoah (and his story is prominently retold in Yad Vashem). He is also remembered because of his efforts to receive Israeli citizenship as a Jew, under the Law of Return. Father Daniel passed away in 1998.
