Selecting the Name: Rodef Shalom

After extended debate, the name Rodef Shalom is selected. Originally not a finalist, it was inserted before the list of names was presented for a vote because the poster had room at the bottom. Its origin is in the Talmud, one of the teachings of the great Hillel, “be of the disciples of Aaron, one that loves peace (Ohev Shalom) and pursues peace (Rodef Shalom), that loves people and brings them close to Torah.”
