Avraham, Mordechai-Yehuda (Moti)

Son of Kalman and Chaya. He was born on September 11, 1954 in Haifa. He began his studies at the Yavneh School in Haifa and continued at the Farhi Aharon High School in Kiryat Shmuel (Haifa). As a young man, he was a member of the religious sports organization Elitzur for several years, but left it when he entered the yeshiva. Since joining the Bnei Akiva educational youth movement, he was especially active in establishing a settlement group when he was in the twelfth grade, so it was natural that when he reached the army in July 1972 he was stationed in the Nahal Brigade and joined a nucleus located in the Jordan Valley. In the army he was promoted to the rank of corporal, and was sent to a squad commanders’ course, but was forced to retire due to medical limitations. This retirement led to his retirement from the settlement nucleus as well. He was assigned to the liaison corps, underwent courses and served as a coordinator at the Central Commanders’ School – to the satisfaction of his superiors, while on duty he was injured in a fatal road accident on the Haifa-Tel Aviv highway and died on the spot. He was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa and left behind his parents, sister and brother, who loved man, the country and nature, organized social parties and found ways to help those in need. , Whose harsh consequences touched his Lev, organized commemorative activities in memory of his comrades and instructors in his movement, who fell in combat, and devoted himself to these tasks and received recognition for his efforts. In the sea to know the land, its stones and its vegetation, his sister writes: “In his estate there were no words of poetry or thought, but rather simple and beautifully Yaffa stones, the stones of the Land of Israel.”
