About
Yaffa Glick was an Israeli resident best known as the wife of Yehuda Glick, a prominent Likud Member of the Knesset (MK), rabbi, and activist advocating for Jewish access to the Temple Mount (Har Habayis) in Jerusalem. She supported her husband's rabbinical and activist endeavors, including public appearances related to Temple Mount issues, despite ongoing religious prohibitions from leading Jewish authorities like the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. As a devoted spouse and mother of eight children, Yaffa was actively involved in family life and stood by Yehuda during his political career and personal challenges. She passed away at age 51 after spending six months in a coma following a near-fatal medical incident in June, which prompted widespread condolences across Israel's political spectrum. Her son, a trained paramedic, was among the first to provide aid during her medical emergency. Yaffa's life exemplified quiet support for her husband's high-profile activism in a contentious religious and political landscape.
