In 1992 the family made aliya and lived in Nve Zuf and Maaleh Adumim before moving to Eli in 1998. Tsvi was killed on June 20, 2003 by Arab tanzim terrorists. He and his family were on their way to Jerusalem for the Shabbat Sheva Brachot of their son who had been married the night before. His wife, Michal, and his parents from Plainview, NY, who were here for the simcha, were wounded in the attack. The Goldsteins were celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary that week.
