Son of Yehuda and Margalit. He was born in Jerusalem on February 9, 1951. He studied at the Luria Elementary School and at the Hebrew University High School and was a member of the Scouts movement from the age of 10 to the age of 16. From childhood, he loved sports and more at school He was born at the age of seven and was invited to a game played by the Jerusalem Municipality, and to his surprise he found that all the players were older and still participated in the game and succeeded. Throughout his studies he had not neglected his favorite game Who was drafted into the IDF in the middle of August 1969 and volunteered to serve in the Paratroopers Brigade. In the IDF he was also known as a chess player, he was serious about everything he did, and he always looked for the right way, both in his private life and during his service in the IDF. On the day of the 11th of Av 5761 (August 1, 1971), Sergeant Eliyahu fell during his service. Was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. The commander of his unit wrote his parents a letter of condolence in which he described Eliahu as an excellent soldier, an excellent fighter and an exemplary friend. “He was fond of his commanders and his friends and everyone who knew him.” After he fell, his 11th grade teacher wrote a list in his memory: “As soon as I began working in the class, Eli stood out for his good qualities, his quiet manner, his modesty, his intelligence and his serious attitude toward school. Only in praise. In those days, I also noted his friendly attitude toward his classmates. He knew how to have a true and honest relationship of friendship. So he always won the love of his classmates. When I knew his parents, I understood the source of the values ​​that guided him in his behavior and in his studies. I realized that the Yaffa relations that prevailed in his house were what gave him the principles of his attitude toward the people who surrounded him. He behaved modestly and yet insisted on his ability to feel that a boy with personality was before you. Although he devoted most of his efforts to the real professions, his literary responses were indicative of sensitivity and understanding. In his writings he also discovered the ability to analyze subjects. The scope of the subjects he was interested in was wide and attested to his connection to the reality in which we live. There was, however, some degree of seclusion. He did not seem to want to open his Lev to a stranger. I got to see him even after he graduated. I saw him in paratrooper uniforms and admired his handsome, confident figure. When I met him, he would bless me in his unique cultural way, and I was proud that I also had a small, if small, share in the education of this excellent boy. There is no comfort in my words, but I would like to express a bit of appreciation here to this boy who was honored by all those who met him during his short life, whether in school or in the army. Perhaps our joint pain will strengthen his parents and his family. “His memory was published in a booklet published by his company.
