From Morocco, Yechiel moved to France with his family, where he married a wife and two daughters, and in 1969 Yehiel emigrated to Israel and settled in Haifa. He was hired as a driver and a forklifter, and he supported his two daughters, who were orphaned by a coach, and described him as “one of the most positive people in the department. He was very diligent and hard work had never frightened him; At any hour of the day or night he was ready to come to work. Yechiel created a good atmosphere in the department … his co-workers saw him as a large family and his work place as his second home. He loved to help anyone, and when someone needed a financial loan he always turned to Yechiel because he never said I do not. “Yechiel was called in reserve duty every year and fulfilled his duties in full. In April 1985, Yechiel was called to active reserve duty, and on April 13, 1985, he fell during his service and was placed at the military cemetery on the Carmel coast, leaving two daughters, four sisters and a brother.

All his commanders appreciated and appreciated his contribution to the unit and the entire IDF “
