Moshe, son of Tova and Berl Yaakov, was born on December 26, 1942, in Bacau, Romania. He completed his elementary and high school studies in Romania and graduated with honors. In the period between his graduation and his immigration to Israel in 1961, he studied at a rural school and spent his free time reading and writing poems in the Romanian language, hoping that he would be able to translate them into Hebrew when the time came. To study in the Hebrew language, Moshe was drafted into the IDF in early February 1962 and assigned to the Armored Corps. Although he could, as a new immigrant, postpone the date of his enlistment, decided to enlist immediately and waited impatiently for the Simcha day. During his service he underwent a 20mm cannon training course and was released after three years of regular army service. He began studying history and archeology at the university in Jerusalem, and was awarded a teaching certificate. He spent five years working in a high school in Jerusalem. One year he worked as a volunteer at an Arab school in Jerusalem and spent two years working at an evening school that prepares students for matriculation in Be’er Sheva. Moshe also wrote many articles, mainly in the field of history and politics. One article, which discusses the connections of the Rothschilds to the first settlers, was published in the “Teachers’ History Bulletin,” and an article on Israeli-French relations was published in 1948-1967. Moses, or Michaux, as his family called him, was an honest, wise man, very devoted to any role he took upon himself. He devoted himself to his work with all his soul and saw in the fulfillment of his role a first-class educational mission. He was one of the people willing to come to the aid of others always, even in situations of danger. He was gentle and sensitive. Moses was known among his disciples as a great patriot, and this emotion succeeded in imparting to them too. He was interested in many fields – history, politics, literature, archeology, biology and much more. He spent many hours devoted to his hobbies: he bound old books and arranged them according to topics on the shelves, engraved and carved wood, and read a lot. He was well educated and had a captivating ability to read – both in writing and orally. His work was exemplary, and on the other hand he was scattered about daily affairs, because his thoughts were on top of the world. It was a constant war with time. He always claimed that 24 hours a day was enough for him to read everything he wanted to read. His friends testify that he had the distinct qualities of a leader, and although he was interested in politics, he did not choose to be a public figure. He aspired to explore the subject of Zionism, but he did not have time to make it clear. I always want to tell these boys about the history of this nation, so they will never ask themselves if we have a right to be Here or not. ” His students loved him as a father, teacher and friend. They wrote about him: “Moshe was a teacher who feared him but was very impressed by him, but he was a walking encyclopedia, but we also turned to him for problems outside his studies. He did not know the answer to her, but he did not know the answer to the students, but he did not know how to recognize the Zionists, and when he could not understand him he tried to explain his words in other ways, and at parties he dragged drinks boxes with everyone else. His great love for those who had prejudices against him, and for long hours he would prepare material for the students, Vargas also in foreign languages. He did not want history, is theYa brings examples. His class was like a movie. “Moshe married Pnina, who studied with him at the Jerusalem University, and in 1971, their daughter Snait was born. A friend and not just a husband. Our daughter spent many hours and patience. In the Yom Kippur War he served as an armored patrol on the southern front, and on October 14, 1973 he went with his battalion to evacuate wounded in the northern part of the canal. He was critically wounded and he was transferred to the hospital, where he struggled for his life and the doctors admired his stamina and his will to live on the 24th of Tishrei 5734 (24.10.1973), died of his wounds and was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Nahariya. He was followed by a wife, a daughter, a father, a mother and a sister, who was promoted to the rank of sergeant in a condolence letter to the family: “Moshe was loved and accepted by his friends and commanders . His actions and perseverance served as a source of strength for his comrades. “In a pamphlet published by the Beersheba High School in memory of its troublemakers, a list was published in memory of Moshe.
