At the beginning of the Independence War Gush Etzion was massively attacked by the Jordanian legion. Many were killed in the battles while others were taken as prisoners. The prisoners were released in groups during the year 1949. The last group brought with it a Torah Scroll as seen in one of the photos (Rabbi Goren Holds the Torah in his hand). After the Six Day War the settling process in Gush Etzion was renewed.
