Binyamin Goldberg was born in 1905 and was named after Herzl. During the riots he defended the Jews with total devotion. ”When he found out that two of our brothers are in danger, he didn't hesitate and despite the danger went to save them. On the way, he was shot, stabbed and murdered”. He was murdered in Jaffa. The author, Reb Yitzchak Goldberg, was among the founders of 'Ohavei Zion' in Vilna, which was the first society for the settlement of the Land of Israel.
