The Rav Zev Chamudot Scientific Technological Religious Junior College at the Nordlicht Religious Technological High School was officially dedicated by Barbara and Jules Nordlicht during a moving ceremony in January in Jerusalem. Barbara, Rav Zev’s sister, felt there was no greater way to memorialize the lasting impact and legacy of her brother, a passionate Zionist who worked tirelessly to make Jewish learning accessible to everyone. Rav Zev was known to many in the U.S. and Israel, and was also known for his almost weekly letters to the Jerusalem Post. Recognized for his fierce and passionate love of Israel, Rav Zev was instrumental in helping to teach others the beauty of the Torah. The dedication ceremony included remarks from both his sons, Yair and David, who reflected on how Rav Zev enriched the lives of others and led by example with a life of Torah shel emet and chesed. The day concluded with a festive celebration with the Sheva Brachot of Robin and Yonatan Chamudot.

The new Chamudot Junior College provides essential training in several fields, including electronics and auto-tech. The field of auto-tech is in great demand in Israel, and the army, in particular, needs qualified technicians who can work on sophisticated computer and electronic systems. The school gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and training as diagnostic technicians, and enables students to enter the army at a higher than average level.
