After their marriage, the couple moved to "Kfar Haivri" in the Neve Yaakov settlement in the northern outskirts of the city of Jerusalem. They were one of the original settlers (1925). After the Arab uprisings in 1929, following an international committee set up by the League of Nations to discuss Western Wall issues, Yitzhak Avigdor Orenstein (1930) was appointed Rabbi and supervisor of the National Institutions and Agudat Israel as the representative of the Jewish community for the preservation of the Western Wall.

During the War of Independence, in 1948, the family did not evacuate from the Old City, but turned their home into headquarters for the Haganna. Their home was on the 'front lines' and even had a 'slick' in it. The Ornstein couple was murdered when a shell was thrown on the Old City shortly after the Establishment of the State of Israel (14th of Iyar 1948). At first they were buried in the Old City, but later they were buried in a mass grave on the Mount of Olives.
