Biet HShisha

The Six House is an addition to the 'Beit Schneerson' building located on the south side of the Beit Hadassah neighborhood.

"The House of the Six" is named after the six young men from the "Nir" yeshiva in Kiryat Arba and guests who were murdered in the nearby Beit Hadassah church.

The custom of the "Nir" settlement yeshiva in Kiryat Arba was every Shabbat evening after the prayer at the Cave of the Patriarchs, to come to the entrance of the Hadassah building in Hebron and dance and make happy a group of mothers and their children who were barricaded in Beit Hadassah after a night operation. The women and their children entered the building that was abandoned in the 1950 riots, in order to put pressure on the government to return the Jewish community to Hebron.

On Shabbat night Parshat "Amor", the eve of the 3rd of Omer 1980, while the yeshiva students were dancing to the joy of the women and children. They were attacked by terrorists who opened fire and threw grenades at them from the roof of the house opposite.

The attack killed Eli HaZev, Zvi Glat, Shmuel Marmelstein, Hanan Kruthamer, Gershon Klein and Yaakov Zimmerman, whose memory is blessed.

In memory of the last three, a settlement was established south of Hebron called Beit Haji.

Following this event, the government decided to allow the renewal of the Jewish settlement in Hebron.
