My father, Samuel H. Winkelman, died on the second day of Chanukah in 2001. That means that I am commemorating him according to the Jewish customs of what's termed yahrtzeit.
He is buried in Shiloh's cemetery:
Shmuel Tzvi ben Yoel
And he is next to my mother who died in 1997
May his soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
