Ben Sarah and Ilan. Born on 20 June 1983 in Jerusalem, brother to Uriel, Leah, Yaakov, Odelia and Elyasaf, Shlomo Chai attended the Yehuda Halevi Elementary School in Jerusalem, at the Ma’ale Hatorah High School in Ma’aleh Adumim and at Beit- Yad Binyamin in Nahal Sorek, where he went on to the Heichal Eliyahu Hesder Yeshiva in Kochav Ya’akov and to the Meir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, and was active in the Ezra youth movement during his free time. Amatzia Levy-Hevroni, the director of Yehuda Halevy School, relates: “Shlomo Chai was revealed to us as a child of great character and manner, and we became attached to him. He was attracted to tradition and religious belief, always able to tell about learning he had heard or about a conversation he had listened to, in the synagogue or when he had accompanied Father to other places. He is a serious and intelligent student in his studies. Shmuel Landau, a teacher and educator of Shlomo Chai at Maale Hatorah, writes: “Shlomo Chai was an innocent student without any sophistication either in his attitude toward his friends or in his attitude toward his teacher. A simple and straightforward child, so he was very fond of them, if need help immediately get it from him with a smile and joy. Another thing that distinguished him was respect for his parents and teachers. He always tried to learn and ask without interruption, and these things led him to great achievements, as the sages say: “You have found and found – believe.” Shlomo Chai joined the IDF on June 19, 2003 and began his service as a yeshiva student. His friends in the unit said that he was a true friend, loyal and loved by all, with a joyous, benevolent, innocent and generous heart, who, whenever they needed help, was the first to offer. On Tuesday, 22 June 2004, Shlomo Chai died of an illness at the age of 20. He was buried at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, and was survived by his parents, three brothers and two sisters, Yad Binyamin “:” ‘stands and serves’ – this was how blessed Shlomi was. ‘Stands and serves’ his parents, ‘stands and serves’ his masters and teachers, ‘stands and serves’ his friends … and everything – because he was ‘standing and serving’ his Creator. Simply, modestly, in good spirits. In his death more than in his life. Shlomi was a ‘strange creature’ sitting. A guy looking for challenges challenges his teachers to the same challenges. There are few opportunities in which the teacher receives a student who drives him to give more and more, not to settle for. To find for him more tasks for progress, more ambitions to achieve. ‘And my students are more than anyone else.’ That he, who was ‘standing and serving’, taught me how to be ‘standing and serving’. There are few opportunities for a teacher to receive words of thanks and appreciation from a student while he is still in the yeshiva. Shlomi appreciated, cherished. His shy smile said his thanks. In memory of his character and personality strengthened. His devotion was infected, his love of man. “It’s hard to talk about the late Shlomo Abeles in the past tense,” he said, “we loved him, he was a yeshiva student, he loved the yeshiva and the yeshiva loved him. When he decided to bring his soul to heaven, he managed to climb the ladder of Beit El, but he decided to enter the yeshiva in a few years, and this decision was crucial to characterization, which indicates the direction chosen by a young man. It was not easy to acclimatize in the yeshiva, but Shlomo did not give in. It is possible to say the verse, “A ladder is placed on the ground and its head reaches heaven.” When Solomon came Our yeshiva was a young man like all the young men, quiet and modest, who knew how to hide his actions and not stand out in the field, like the ladder that lay in the land, but all his actions, thoughts and desires were to ascend and ascend to Heaven,, Money. Both in terms of his teaching that hints at the voice, both in terms of his benevolence that hints at money and his behavior that implies fasting, Solomon’s head reached heaven. From the point of view of his Torah, when he entered the study hall to study, he had a pencil and an eraser to write down anything new, any Aramaic interpretation. Tried hard to understand and did not make do with superficial study that we could say, here he learned and did his duty. No! He liked to learn and understand. Shlomo learned with passion and great energy, not laziness. During the month of Elul, the tractate Brachot was taught at the yeshiva. It was important for him to finish the first chapter until Rosh Hashana so that he could come to the Day of Judgment ready and ready for him. Shlomo never gave up teaching Mussar. He wanted the Torah he was learning to be refined. When Shlomo returned from a free Shabbaton, he would relish how he returned home on the Gemara page he had learned. Shlomo could appreciate the Torah scholars and knew how to honor them. Solomon was endowed with a degree of ‘Aaron’. When they woke him he would be silent and receive love. As far as Gmilut Chasadim is concerned, Shlomo was always the first and foremost in the yeshiva to help and assist. An entire ear was attentive and his hand extended for help. When a new guy came to the yeshiva, Shlomo was always able to smile from ear to ear, which gave the boy a good feeling. When new immigrants came to the yeshiva who could not speak Hebrew at all, Shlomo translated and helped them integrate into society and all this, at the height of simplicity and naturalness, without looking for respect for himself, but only for the good of the community, which always stood before him. And from the standpoint of his behavior, Shlomo would always behave among the members exemplary and would fulfill the verse “love your neighbor as yourself” in full. She always made sure that she would attend a yeshiva for unity and peace, and if, heaven forbid, a meeting happened, or a misunderstanding and one of the young men was hurt, it would not be quiet and he would not calm down until he was appeasing the same guy. Shlomo was a young man who knew how to accept authority and was able to honor and cherish the Torah scholars, and he always consulted with his rabbis. Before every step he took, both in terms of deeds in the yeshiva and in terms of going out with friends in freedom, he would always ask if it was okay in terms of the Torah and God to do so. Heroes around God, that Shlomo merited to finish the Tractate Brachot with 60 pages and those same heroes who accompanied him to heaven together with the righteous. Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus said, ‘Ein Tova,’ Rabbi Yehoshua said, ‘Hever is good,’ and he said: Rabbi Yoseph said, “A good neighbor,” Rabbi Shimon said, “He who sees the future,” and Rabbi Elazar says “Lev Tov” (Tractate Avot 2: 9). It seems that all these qualities characterized my dear student Shlomo Abeles, Heichal Eliyahu “, who went up to the Tabiah at the beginning of his journey in the sanctuary … Shlomo had a good eye. After almost every lesson he would come up to me and say how much he enjoyed studying. He always had something good to say to other people-to strengthen and to encourage. Shlomo was a good friend. He had great loyalty to yeshiva students and his personal friends. He was always able to help anyone who needed her, and was willing to share everything with everyone. Even if it was something precious to him. Shlomo was a good neighbor. This is the evidence not only of the people of his neighborhood in Ma’aleh Adumim, but also of his closest neighbors, the ones who lived with him every day in the boarding school. Shlomo also foresaw the future. He always sought to rise above Torah and wisdom, and when he felt that he was not progressing at the appropriate pace, he followed the Rosh Yeshiva’s advice to listen to shiurim in Jerusalem. After choosing a number of topics for himself in the Torah, he returned to the Yeshiva where he studied – Heichal Eliyahu, but the measure that characterized Shlomo most of all was A.And the measure cited by Rabbi Eleazar ben Arach. Shlomo was a good heart, a big heart, a heart of gold and yet a very sensitive heart, and everything that took place around him would take to the heart … It is hard to talk about a student who died, it’s hard to say good-bye. Perhaps a little comfort can be drawn from the knowledge that Shlomo left behind him in this world a very special light. The Maharal of Prague explains in the path of love of evil that it is impossible to truly love people without loving God because He is the source of them. The opposite is true: You can not love God without truly loving His creatures. It seems that Shlomo dedicated these two measurements in his life, as Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa said: “All that the spirit of men is comfortable with is the spirit of the place that is comfortable for us” (Avot 3:13), his soul will be in the bundle of life. (Isaiah 25: 8). “His second-grade teacher, Carmela Weitzman, writes:” Not many years ago, a nice boy, Shlomo Chai Abeles, a small, smiling and charming child joined us. He was short and had glasses on his delicate face. With a smile and joy, he arrived at school, holding his father’s careful hand. “Your name Shlomi did characterize you, for you were always a friend of peace in the class or during recess. You contributed a great deal to the class, and I know that my place in the classroom is engraved in my memory. As a captain on a ship in a stormy sea, Shlomi strove to reach perfection. You have invested a great deal of effort and indeed achieved success. Hello! What a shame that you have not succeeded in continuing to strive, because the storm of life overcame you, precisely as a heroic and sturdy soldier “
