Abergel, Guy


Ben Dalia and David. He was born on 28.4.1976 at Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot. Brother to Eran, Shimrit and Mordechai. As the eldest son and firstborn in the family, he received special treatment, and the great love that he lavished upon him also rained down on all his subjects. Guy grew up in Kiryat Malachi. Until the age of three he enjoyed the devoted care of Grandma Dina; He then visited Hannah’s garden, and in the afternoon, when the kindergarten was over, he spent a few more hours with Grandma until his parents came home from work. Guy made his first years of studies at the Harel religious elementary school in Kiryat Malachi, and even then he saw the love of the Torah and the love of man in it. At the end of eighth grade he moved to Jerusalem, where he lived in a boarding school and studied electronics. He was an outstanding student, and when his parents came to the parents’ meetings, they were pleased with the words of the teachers and the educator: “Guy is brilliant in his studies,” they were told. “He treats teachers with respect and is loved by all his friends.” Guy’s friends described him as a unique personality: “The expression ‘salt of the earth’ was invented especially for him,” said his friend, Meir Hadad, “an extraordinary person, an exceptional person with generosity and wisdom in the Torah.” At the end of his twelfth grade, Guy continued his studies at the “Youth Village” in the framework of the military reserve, and was certified as an electronics engineer, and on July 11, 1994, Guy joined the Israel Air Force. He was trained as a technician in ground control systems, where he was stationed at an air force base in the center of the country, and served as a technician in the Tikshoov division, and in August 1999 he signed a permanent contract. Living in the settlement of Ravava in Samaria, and lovingly raised their two children, Michal and Nahorai “The children and I were his main concern,” says Odya. “He invested in the family above and beyond. He would come back from the base tired, and yet he played with the children and prepared dinner for them. “Even in the midst of his nuclear family, Guy was conspicuous in his devotion, and he was always interested in the welfare of his parents and brothers, taking care of them and even helping his sister. Following his relocation to Samaria, Guy served at the Air Control Unit in Tel Aviv, where he was responsible for communications and information systems. His friends and commanders tell of his professionalism, his high work ethic, and the order and pedantry that characterized him in his work. These qualities combined with the pleasantness and calm in which they were conducted; “There are not many people who without special effort on their part manage to change a person and give him the opportunity to be a better person … Guy was one of them. , “Said Mark Elman, one of his comrades in the unit. A modest and humble man was Guy, and his words and behavior were always hypocritical and without pretense. A man of truth “who belongs to him,” and always teaches the right to others. It was his will to give and give, and many of the soldiers who helped him and supported him. “Guy always said that although everyone would be good and never tried to earn something at the expense of other people, he tried to achieve his goals in a straight way, with a smile on his face and innocence.” I continued to understand the concepts of good faith and love of others, And Israel Zalka adds: “Guy was an honest, humble and righteous man, one who invests and helps anyone who has asked for his help … He had such a presence that can not be described in words … with an angel’s smile,He raises his voice, and always speaks to everyone at eye level. “As a God-fearing Jew, Guy was careful to observe mitzvot as easily as possible, and faith and security were the foundation of his entire life … In various cases, the friends say, he would have noticed the hand of providence and thanked her … Guy was careful to set times for Torah, “A true Tzaddik, a teacher and an educator, a pure and good soul,” defined his friend Moshe Gozlan, who studied with him, and on Saturdays Guy prayed in the Sephardic synagogue in Ravabah, where he served as Baal Koreh and Shaliach Every Sabbath he arranged the duty of Torah reading among the Torah’s readers, and encouraged the youth to participate in the reading, the tone of his prayer, his devotion, etc. He would pull the heart of the Breslov dome out of his pocket, close his eyes, be swept away with enthusiasm, and sometimes he would weep with a feeling of exaltation … At the base, Guy organized every day a Minyan for Mincha, and used to teach Halachot before prayer, and in his warm words and behavior, he brought people closer to Torah and mitzvot. “He said. Many were Guy’s good deeds, and most of them heard his parents only after he fell. Thus they learned that every month Guy would anonymously send a thousand shekels to Rabbi Baharav in Kiryat Malachi, who wanted to donate to the needy. The rabbi discovered the identity of the donor only after Guy’s death. Rabbi Ravava told the parents that two days before he fell, Guy went with him to Ariel, where some of the evacuees from Gush Katif passed through. Guy, he says, helped distribute food, encouraged the evacuees and stayed with them all night until morning, although he was late for the base. Guy’s dream, says his widow, was to end his service in the army and retire, to devote all his time to Torah study. But after six years of regular service, Guy’s life was cut off and his family left stunned, painful and bleeding. Guy was killed in the course of his duty on August 25, 2005, in a car accident in the Hizma region near Kochav Hashahar, and on that day Guy served as the base’s officer, and according to the procedures he left with two security guards The soldiers who finished their workday were about to leave for the weekend, and on the way back, two kilometers before the base, in the area where the road curves sharply, a Palestinian truck drove up in front of the jeep, driving too fast. The two soldiers who were traveling with him were lightly to moderately wounded, and Guy’s commander, Major Shuki Somekh, told the many journalists covering the disaster: “Guy Hai The person is honest and modest, he never rounded corners and did not look at anyone from above. Religion was a central axis in his life, yet he combined professionalism with work. Thanks to his inner power, and in his pleasant way, he managed to bring many people closer to tradition. “The Gemara says in Tractate Shabbat: ‘One of the brothers who died will take care of all the brothers, “And we’re worried, Guy, not just because you were one of the bunch in the full sense of the word … We’re worried because you were one of the family, as brothers we were … You loved them all and you were loved by everyone. You are a modest man in the full sense of the word, straight as a ruler, head at work all the time, without wasting time.A detail was written and organized, and you always had an answer to every question. … You would teach the right to every person, and love every Jew. But above all, you were a person, a true friend, interested, understanding and loving … It is difficult for us to part … Guy, please be honest about your beloved family and the entire Jewish people. “In the week following his downfall, Mishael Shuker devoted the daily Halakha to the memory of Guy, and Guy’s friends in the unit parted from him in what he wrote in his memory:” My dear friend Guy, I saw you as a teacher and guide Good for life, who always wanted my best, and as a soldier he took great care of my interests. “Even though I have known you for only three months, I believe that I have won a friend and a friend that I will remember for the rest of my life.” Sasson Yosef wrote: “Guy, I miss you … I miss the nights of working together until the small hours of the night, And we would discuss ways to promote the department and the ways of God on the issue of why ‘a righteous person is evil and wicked and good to him,’ and how far is the test of faith in God’s trust. Every sentence that you would prove to me in the service of God or in other things is engraved on me because of your pleasant personality, as a heartfelt criticism. “Yoel ben Na’im:” Guy said, ‘I believe in the Creator that He will stop and do everything for the good.’ I hope that just as he took care of our mitzvot from here, so will he protect us from above and teach us rights. “Shai Ohana:” … can you be proud of what you did here and what you left behind? “I had the pleasure to work with you, to pray with you, to serve with you and to listen to the pleasant words that come out of your heart … At any time you were willing to help people and speak halakhot in the synagogue, you simply come from the heart . … You loved them all as if they were your brother. “I will remember you forever and I will try to take on some of the good things you would do.” Konstantin Fedosyev wrote: “I will always remember Guy with the smile and the joy of life. Even in difficult and stressful moments he had a kind of joy in his eyes …” Yehuda Sofer: “… you always smiled, you were always happy, you were always there who needed help … what a loss. I send many condolences to the family? Here too you were like a brother. We will not stop longing … “On the website of the community of Ravava, a memorial page was dedicated to Guy, including his biography, photos, a video clip that he appears in, and poems written by his friend Yogev Avraham. /modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9 One of the poems of Yogev Avraham, “You Were My Friend”: “You Were the Spirit / Who Tends You Hard Times / You Were the Quiet / The Soundless Heart / You Were the Power / When I Lost the Peace / I was a friend / of a smile and a love … // And there remains an addictive longing that breaks your heart / whenever you miss / hit me again … / The memory that holds tight and the heart pinches / the opening of your grave / occupied with my tears. “I was a liar / When the difficulty became routine / You were the voice / that distinguishes between good and evil / You were the one to me / and directed to paths of joy / You were a friend / who encouraged success …” Another song written by Yogev is “Between the Mountains”: ” I will find rest in my face / I will find the light in my face / I will find the light in my face … / / Sometimes I want the pain to unload / and to call among mountains on your behalf to a faraway valley / For only in this way will I return / In the echo of my softening voice / To the memory that beats me, And will not let go / Because I will remember you with love. ” Yogev toGuy’s memory appears on the website “New Stage” at http://stage.co.il/Stories/541848. Guy was twenty-nine when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military section of the cemetery in Kiryat Malachi, with thousands of residents accompanying him on his last journey. Guy left behind a wife, a three-and-a-half-year-old girl and a toddler of one and four months, parents, two brothers and a sister. After his fall he was promoted to the rank of First Sergeant. On his tombstone were written the words: “Fear of God, a dedicated family man.” Of blessed memory. His soul will be bound by the bundle of life.
