Dankner, Moshe
Moshe, son of Hanna and David, a Holocaust survivor, was born on July 19, 1954 in Tel Aviv and studied in the Mohliver and Meraz elementary schools in Bnei Brak. After completing his elementary studies, Moshe went to work to help the poor family’s agriculture. In the day he worked and studied the profession of the two technicians in the second laboratory, and in the evening he studied at the ORT vocational high school in Tel Aviv for the purpose of second-degree training. Despite his busy schedule, Moshe also found time for other types of employment, and “he always ran a runner. Even as a child, this trait had been discovered. He would always run around, dismantle every object he could afford, drum on drums with emotion and talent, and knock on a xylophone. From the age of eight, he used to drum in the memorial service for the fallen of Bnei Brak. Moshe showed a strong inclination to help people in various public activities, such as volunteering to work for the Association for the Blind and the Israel Cancer Association. “On one of the summer days of 1968, a small, modest, shy boy went to a fire station in Bnei Brak and asked to be accepted as a firefighter at the station,” said Aharon Caspi, director of the fire department in Bnei Brak. The young man spent days and nights in the station, which became his home, and he was the only one of his kind, The other is always Simcha and grateful to everyone. ” Moshe was drafted into the IDF in the middle of February 1973 and was assigned to the Artillery Corps, where he completed an artillery course with a high grade and served as an artillery gunner at all times during his service in the Golan Heights On the night of the 11th of Tishrei 5734 (October 6, 1973) When his unit fought in Tel-Juhader, Syrian tanks attacked the artillery battery and Moshe fell, buried in the military section of Kiryat Shaul, and left behind a father, mother and sister, and was promoted to the rank of corporal. “Moshe was admired and accepted by his friends. He did his work quietly and devotedly. Throughout the afternoon and evening of Yom Kippur, until the moment he was hit, Moshe fought fiercely. Together with his friends, he faced an enemy that exceeded ten times his number, and in his steadfast struggle he contributed to saving the State of Israel. “In memory of Moshe Dankner, the family donated a Torah scroll to a synagogue in Bnei Brak.
