Ben Sarah and Albert. He was born in Beit Shean on the 17th of Tevet 5728 (26.12.1977). Brother to Galit, Hofit, Golan, Noam, Elior, Daniel. Born after two daughters, and let him filled the house with great happiness. As a baby he was plump and charming, and as he grew and developed, he stood out in his beauty. Moshiko grew up and was educated in Beit Shean. He studied at Meir Elementary School and completed his studies at ORT. Whatever he did, he was a source of pride for his family and friends. Moshiko was a wonderful friend and a great brother, gave everyone a warm and respectful attitude, cared for everyone and always preferred the needs of others to his personal needs. Moshiko did not know the word “no,” and at any time was willing to help and put himself in the favor of others. His wonderful ability to give gifts was expressed, among other things, in the many volunteer activities he took part in. Every day he would come to the Civil Guard branch and take part in the tours. He volunteered in the HaNoar HaOved movement of the Histadrut and helped the elderly. During vacations he worked as waitress to help support the family. Moshiko insisted on serving in a combat unit and was drafted into the Golani Brigade on July 23, 1996. He passed the training course as a fighter and went with his unit, the Barak auxiliary company, to Lebanon, and was proud to serve in Golani, Moshiko loved the service in Lebanon, although he did not have easy service, and his vacations were short and short, and after three weeks when he was not at home, he was about to leave for the end of his vacation And his friends and his favorite dishes were already prepared for him at home, but Moshiko did not arrive, and in his place came the most difficult news of all Sergeant Moshe Biton fell in operational activity in Lebanon on August 20, 1998. That day, an IDF convoy made its way to the Beaufort outpost. Moshiko accompanied the crane truck, which was not fortified. When the truck reached a hundred and fifty meters from the post, the terrorists detonated an explosive device. Moshiko and the truck driver, Amos Klapa, were killed on the spot. Moshiko was twenty-one when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military section of the cemetery in Beit She’an, with thousands of city residents accompanying his coffin. He was followed by parents and six brothers and sisters. After his fall, his sister, Osher, and his brother Shoham were born. “We will not forget your imitations, we will not forget you, we could always rely on you,” said Moshiko’s friends to the auxiliary company, “Barak likes you, see you, friend.” Knesset Member David Levy: “I was present on your birthday, and I did not think I would stand by your open grave.” “I remember you and I will not forget you / You were like an angel and I will hold my whole life in pain / The melancholy melody of the heart / Remember you like the rising sun / Feel you like a wind storm / Breathe you like mountain air / The flowers / To hear you like an echo between the mountains / To laugh with you like a rushing river water / To miss you like waves to the beach / Love you to infinity / Write you sad songs / Visit you between the rows of graves / Cry you a lot of lakes / Between twilight / think of you on dark nights / tell you a serialized story / see you in the album pages / talk to you like the birdsong / search I will remember you forever / And our beautiful years together / All my life I will miss and dream / Because remember you It is like breathing / Your forever, Father who always loves. “More wrote Father: “When you were born you were cute and plump, beautiful with a warm smile. DuringThe years have grown and become a young man. You finished school and then you were drafted into an army that you loved so much. You insisted that you go to the Golani, and so it was. You went through basic training with walking fragments, and yet you finished with the honor that every soldier deserves. It was two and a half years in the army, and then came the bloody day you lost your life. At the age of twenty-one, your life and my life ended. You will always remain young and beautiful and I will continue to grow. You’ll stay at twenty-one, and I’ll grow up in a year. And the years pass by, and your brother Golan grows and marries and you will always remain young and beautiful. Golan has two beautiful and cute sons, but you will always be young and beautiful. Noam also grew up and married Hani that you do not know, because you will always remain young and beautiful. They had a beautiful girl who was called purity. So cute, beautiful and smiling. And you’ll always be young and beautiful. … You will always remain engraved in my mind, young, smiling and beautiful. “The press extensively covered the difficult event in Lebanon, and the many articles that were published shed light on Moshiko’s character: Moshiko was immortalized in a beautiful public garden, the” Garden of Moses, “built by the Beit She’an municipality at the request of the bereaved family. , Was inaugurated on 30.4.2006 with the presence of the Chief Rabbi of the city, the mayor, family and friends, and the opening ceremony was a song he wrote in memory of Mayor Moshiko Mayor Shmuel Shmuel. The right to know Moshiko personally, and I remember him as a man always happy. … What is special about this garden is that everyone joined in to establish the place. All of the municipal employees volunteered, even in their free time and voluntarily, because it was clear to each of us that we were doing something beyond normal work. The three olive trees in the garden represent the Golani Brigade and the rootedness of the people of Israel and its connection to the land. “Moshiko’s close friend, Hillel Benisti, also spoke at the ceremony:” I can not forget the day I was told that Moshe was killed. Now we have a lovely place to sit on memorial days and remember Moshiko together. I thank the mayor who raised the gauntlet and set up a magnificent garden, raised the money and even worked in the garden himself. “Today, after seven and a half years, I am relieved that the city commemorates Moshiko,” added a family friend, former Knesset Member David Levy: “This day commemorating one of its best sons is symbolic … Like a moving film, Where I worked with the grandfather of the family, Moshe Biton, in the cotton fields, the day when grandson Moshiko came to the covenant of Abraham and his funeral day, and today I am together again with the family at the dedication of the garden in his memory. Blessed is the community that knows how to remember and perpetuate its sons and heroes. “
