Esther Klieman, 23, of Neve Tzuf, was the daughter of Ruhama and Nachman Klieman who made aliyah from Chicago in 1977. She was killed on March 24, 2002 when the bus on which she was traveling was attacked by a sniper north of Ramallah on the road to Ofra where she worked as a kindergarten teacher with Down's Syndrome children. She was the epitome of kindness and caring and gave of herself unselfishly to disabled and disadvantaged children. She is survived by her parents and three brothers.
