I have always had a corner in your Lev for you, I have always been there to listen to you and of course advise you, and now, I have been privileged to be here for you. … The corner I had for you will remain with a sea of ​​memories, memories of our childhood. “I love you the most in the world and forever love.” Aunt Ophira Goldstein wrote: “… in the years you grew up and became a handsome young man, I did not get to meet you much … Now that I’m dead I hear many stories about you and think to myself: In fact, you were completely different from what you really were, in fact you were a gentle, noble and spiritual child. “I pray that the angels of heaven will belong to a world that is all good and that you will be safe in your sleep.” Uncle Shimon Aharak, who prepared Yakir for Torah aliyah when he arrived at the Bar Mitzvah: “… dear, my dear student! The apple of my eye! I will never forget the moments of happiness you gave me when I was privileged to teach you … In a short time you proved how talented you were, and that was how you witnessed your tragic death. Darling, it’s hard to talk about you in the past tense. I take comfort in the fact that you remain righteous even in your death! And the righteous in their deaths are called life. For me, you are alive and well. “Sister Shaked wrote:” You loved life so much, you had a joy of life. … Everywhere you came you would always know you were there! … Always when I needed you to protect me You were there … Who will look after me now? Who will protect? … Dear, you are always with me in your Lev and will be your whole life. … Perhaps because even when you were alive you were an angel for all, God wanted you with him up among all the angels in heaven, ‘because when the angels cry in another world, then in this world we are more sad …’. “Yakir’s friend created a video clip of Yakir from his jeep trips, accompanied by Kobi Aflalo’s song” The Sea of ​​Mercy, “which Yakir loved, appears at http://www.jeeptrip.com. com / page.aspx = span = Forums & group = 1 & item = 868730 Yakir’s parents commemorated his memory by writing a Torah scroll in his honor, and donated holy books to the synagogue for the benefit of the public
