The Jerusalem Naming Committee has selected a number of streets that will be renamed to perpetuate the memory of a select few. Earlier, YWN-ISRAEL reported Bar Ilan Junction would be named Maran Junction in memory of HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef ZT�L and a street in Ramot would be named after Maran HaGaon HaRav Sholom Elyashiv ZT�L.
The committee has also decided to name the road paved between Motza and Shaare Zedek Hospital after the late prime minister, Ariel Sharon. Chiefs of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shachak and Moshe Levi will be perpetuated on streets in the Pisgat Ze�ev neighborhood of the northern capital.
In addition, in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of the state, the decision was made to perpetuate extreme self-sacrifice by IDF soldiers and officers, headed by Major Roi Klein HY�D, who jumped on a hand grenade while shouting �Shema Yisrael� to have his troops in Lebanon during the Second Lebanon War. Pvt. Natan Elbaz HY�D, who was killed in the 1950s, also jumping on a grenade to save his men.

why would we name anything other than a toilet after that man whom kicked so many Yidden out of their homes, destroyed shuls and dug up graves in order to appease Hamas?
