Black, Eliezer
Son of Frida and Zalman Ze’ev, was born on March 11, 1929 in Tel Aviv to a family of Torah scholars and activists in the community. After graduating from the “Bilu” elementary school in Tel Aviv, he went to study Torah at the Kfar HaRoeh Yeshiva and the “New Yishuv” in Tel Aviv. On his return to Tel Aviv, he studied in the evenings at the “Haskalah” high school and was about to pass the final exams. Was one of the best students and apprentices. Diligent, loving Torah and heavenly, and his Lev was always open to all oppressed and hard-day and ready to come to his aid. Eliezer had a good Lev and always cared for others. When he was 8 years old, he once came home from school full of concern and told his mother that during lunch break, he noticed that one of the teachers was eating his Lev in an unsweetened roll. Apparently the teacher is in a state of distress and needs to be taken care of and his condition improved. From the youth he was active in the Gadna, the religious sports movement “Elitzur” and the “Mizrachi” youth movement, and during the War of Independence he enlisted and served in a religious company in the Jerusalem Brigade. In one of his last letters he wrote: “Every day, three times a day, as I pray before the Temple Mount, I pray in my Lev: May we be free to walk freely in our land.” Eliezer served as a paramedic during Operation “Maccabi” He fell while wearing a wounded friend on Wednesday, May 13, 1948, the day before the declaration of the establishment of the state. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Sanhedria in Jerusalem.
