Braska, Chaim

Ben Smadar and Roni. He was born on October 27, 1985, at the Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem. Brother to Shlomi, twin to Sarit and Elad and Doron. In his childhood, until the age of six, he grew up in the Nahlaot neighborhood in the western part of the city. The family then moved to the Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood of northern Jerusalem. In this neighborhood, Haim began his elementary studies at the “State A” technological science school, and graduated with honors from the Rene Cassin School in the Ramot Eshkol neighborhood. Chaim grew up and was educated in a warm and supportive home that nurtured character traits and values: kindness, care, concern and sensitivity to those around him – combined with endless energy and joy of life, responsibility and determination. All these, combined with the delicacy and peace of mind he has endured, make him loved by his friends, teachers and acquaintances. His rolling laughter from all sides was his trademark. Already in his childhood began to sprout in life and grow in the qualities of love for others and the desire to help his fellow students, and over time it became his life’s work. Chaim took advantage of his high skills and achievements for the common good; He taught many students of all ages, mathematics and language, and even prepared them for adulthood. He was an exceptional teacher with great patience and learning methods. He took care of his students, stroked, strengthened, and encouraged when necessary. “In the 10th grade, Haim became a language teacher when he taught some of his classmates to take exams, and the following year, I recruited him to teach students who lived in Pisgat Ze’ev, and all the worlds enjoyed it. He was accompanied by Levi, for follow-up and education classes that were received with love, so I was told more than once. ” His uncle, one of his students, wrote after Haim’s death: “Chaim Braska … I will never forget your wisdom and your love … Today I am who I am because of you, I came where I am today thanks to you and I did not even have the chance to say thank you … I love you and I will always remember what you did for me and for all of us … Thank you very much Chaim, you were encouraging and advising on everything, today you are missing … Haim Bresca – teacher, friend … We wanted to say thank you! ” Chaim, a brilliant intellectual, excelled in every field he touched. A book he submitted during his sophomore year in which he summed up the role of satire in the democratic regime attests to his seriousness, his excellent ability to express himself, and the ability to analyze, based on examples and conclusions. Enjoy entertainment and satire? What is its significance? Are there instances where satire must be restricted? … Satire is defined in the most abstract way as a literary genre that comes to criticize negative social phenomena or the behavior of leaders with the intention of proving the people to the afflictions of society and its leaders, and in order to participate in more just and enlightened values. Indeed, the main role of satire is to criticize, as much as possible, and almost anything negative. The satire pretends to say what no one says, which sounds only in private, and probably does not explain the ears of certain people. Satire says it all, the truth and the truth, without going round and round. What is so ironic about satire is the hypocrisy and corruption that it comes to express in a very extreme and sarcastic way. Satire simply ‘throws’ the truth in our faces. Another role of satire arising from the previous role is to engage in what is being done in the country and what is going on in society. This role is, in my opinion, one of the most important and decisive roles in modern democratic society, a society in which there is no possibility of holding a direct democracy as it was in JuneAnd democracy is representative. The people who choose their leaders and grant them their authority are entitled to know whether this authority is stable or unsettled. The people must hear about the deficiencies in the governmental system and beyond, sometimes criticize themselves for the ills of the society in which they live. The people are working for enlightened values ​​of justice and respect for others, express their views and present their aspirations and desires to the government, and this is aided by considerations and sees them against his eyes in any substantive decision he must accept. … To what extent should we limit and censor satire? Personally, I believe in censorship as little as possible. … In my opinion, the fact that we live in a democratic regime not only grants us the right, but also obliges us to say everything, to present the range of opinions – although sometimes it is unpleasant to hear them. When we censor satire, we must examine the clash between principles such as ‘democracy has no single truth’, freedom of expression and the right of the public to know, and principles such as the right to protect Shem Tov, the right to privacy and human dignity. It is necessary to examine which of the rights is more violated and whether it is correct to censor even if the injury to the individual is not particularly great. In conclusion, we saw that Satire has a variety of roles, she visits but sometimes is self-controlled, entertaining and amusing but sometimes bordered on black humor, but it should be in a democratic society. Democracy is the one that enables us to criticize the government and the society and to say what is on our hearts without any fear or fear, and if it can be done in a funny and smiling way – what a good thing! “After completing high school, Haim continued to study mathematics and statistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. At the end of the academic year he enlisted in the IDF and completed his basic training with honors. He was attached to the Signal Corps, where he was trained for a position he performed with dedication and excellence and was respected and respected by his commanders. Life was the pride of the family – both limited and extended. “Life is a wide and loving heart, it cares for the smallest details and endless giving without compensation,” his parents say.

We never broke up. We were always side by side, we were together from the day we were born. Together we went out into the air, and since then we have been walking hand in hand in every way we have traveled through each stage. You have always helped me in everything possible, supported me and given me all the love you can give. I always knew I had a gift from God who brought me to you, but now, after twenty-one years, everything has changed. It is impossible to know why God took you specifically, the flower – the prince of the family. I will not forget all the beautiful and fun moments we’ve always been through from childhood to this moment. I believe in you and hope that you will protect us from above and that we will no longer see pain and sorrow, protect the entire people of Israel and see no more wars in the world. I am always on your side, we can not separate and in fact we will never separate because we are one soul that complement each other. Thank you for everything – for all the happiness, joy and help you gave the whole family. And do not forget as you always said: You are the mainstay of the familyHa and you will always be! Rest in peace. “The words of the extended family on the 30th anniversary of his downfall:” We are overwhelmed and hurt by the enormity of the disaster that suddenly struck us. There are no words to describe the sorrow and grief that we have experienced since you left. … We stand helpless before the will of the Creator who decreed your death. Everything still seems so vague, unclear, and mostly not real. Time passes fast and it’s already thirty days, and on the other hand the time has stopped because you are so lacking. … It is said that God takes the perfect ones who have completed their correction in the world, and you must have been able to complete your correction in the twelve years of your life, which attests to your greatness. Our prayers will protect us from heaven and give us the strength to live the past, breathe the present and hope for the future, and know that you are always with us. Your absence will always accompany us, but at the same time we will continue to follow the path of joy in which you went to support your family and continue your path. “Haim’s commander, Lt. Col.

He loved the Hebrew language and made sure everyone spoke standard language. He did it politely and gently, without hurting him. “I see Haim in 10th grade and he is a sociable boy, full of joie de vivre and youthful mischief. Chaim liked to sing. During the breaks between classes, I can still see Haim surrounded by friends and hear his voice triumphant. A few years later, in the twelfth grade, I served as an educator of life, and he is already a youth, a student who can not be forgotten, wise and brilliant, time is blurring and forgetting, but Chaim’s face can not be forgotten, certainly not his deep, And with your fingers, at the end of your pen, you will fill the memory of the years that have passed away so that you will not be lost or forgotten.There is also the echoes of your talents, the love of man in you, the humor and the sensitivity in which you sketched your characters and friends – They are all signed in the book of the year, which you have devoted with endless devotion and diligence, how great the loss is, in the blood of your life, in the midst of your youth, In, the tears streaming down your memory sweet bitter sadness “. “Tova Zebida, also a teacher at the school:” Haim, a beloved student … His image seems to me in retrospect as a figure of eternity, of such immortality, something of the unimaginable optimum, and in his disappearance he has returned to my country completely., And it seemed as if everything had passed lightly and fluttering-his studies, and so his social activities while organizing for the class all that was required, but a look into his eyes revealed other depths beyond which there was an endless seriousness. … Chaim pulled the class into very pleasant areas. … Almost at the end of each class the class burst into song, when Chaim led the choir. … I have no doubt that life has lost life. May his memory be blessed. “On the first anniversary of his downfall, the family wrote:” … A year has passed and the pain is only growing and you are missing everyone. Leaving a large space, empty and dark, and many moments of suffering and pain. It is hard to live without you, the heart refuses to grasp the magnitude of the sudden and painful loss. Live, look at your smile through the pictures, and the heart hurts so much, and your eyes fill with tears that flow at any possible moment. Give us the strength to step forward, lift our eyes to the Creator, take advantage of every minute and discover the truth.
