Tamar and Haim’s eldest son. Born in Jerusalem on April 22, 1983, brother of Li’at, Chen, Asael Or, and Yehonatan, Aviad, a member of a religious Zionist family, lived with his family in Ma’ale Adummim and began his studies at the ” Kiryat Moshe in Jerusalem, where he captured his teachers and his friends in a pleasant manner, loved and loved by people, and was the social pillar of the class, a diligent and outstanding student whose teachers completed his praises. “Who gave his advice to every seeker, and with every appeal and call for help he enlisted in joy, reaching out to one hand, and listening to the other willingly and willingly and with infinite kindness. In the short story of his life he combined and realized four basic values that paved his way: “Safra and Seifah”, “Yefeh Talmud Torah with Derech Eretz”, “The world will be a mixed person among the people.” “In his high school yeshiva,” Noam, “Aviad left a strong impression on his educators and teachers in his sensitivity and understanding both in the field of study and in the social field. And friends, and the help he was willing to submit at any time. In his book “Mesila to Aviad” published in his memory, his father Chaim wrote: “His manner is holy in holiness and purity, with his fringes sliding over his pants. And his friends. ” Aviad adopted the words “Safra” and “Sayfa” out of faith and the ability to combine two different and contradictory things. Sapra needed to fulfill his spiritual mission in the Land of Israel, and he needed a final defense of the people and the land. The connection between “being human” and “fearing God” was a supreme value that he aspired to, and he wrote in chapter 1 in the commentary on man’s obligation to his world: “As for the direct connection between man and the world, In heaven, and said to him, “See my deeds, how many fine and fine things are repaired, and all that I have created for you I have created, give your mind that you will not spoil and destroy my world.” Love of man and respect for others were universal values that merged with Aviad’s personality. In his character and humble manner, he fulfilled the article of the Sages: “The world will always be a mixed man.” Aviad did everything in his power to contribute to society and to show social awareness and alertness and listen attentively to the distress and needs of others. Religious community “in disadvantaged neighborhoods designed to bring the hearts of youth closer to the values of the Torah and Zionism. The friends say he treated them like a father and was a shoulder to Mishan. After his fall, it turned out that he had done great things for his friends – both in encouraging conversations with friends who wanted to leave school, in motivational conversations before military service, and in encouraging and advising friends who were at a crossroads. And he did more to do for those people whose fate was not so good and unusual or socially distant, and for whom he devoted much of his time to bring them closer to society, all quietly and discreetly. Aviad left behind a moral legacy of devotion to the people of Israel, love of the land and love of Torah – the foundation of his life and his soul. He expressed his love for the land according to the verse, “Get up and walk in the land” on trips along its length and breadth, because according to his outlook, to explore the land is the essence of love for the land and its fulfillment. After graduating from yeshiva high school it was clear to Aviad that before his enlistment he would strengthen himself in a pre-military preparatory program – spiritual and physical strengthening. The love of the Torah, the love of the Torah and the love of the people of Israel, for “Israel and the Torah is one and the same” led to his continued pathThe paramilitary nickname “Hemdat Yehuda” in the Jordan Valley, where he set himself high values that met them uncompromisingly, and made sure to work on his measurements. For two years he devoted himself to his spiritual and material studies – religious studies with tours and navigations and personal development, and deepened his connection to the Land of Israel in order to fulfill the verse in Sefer Nehemiah. Aviad was connected to the book “Mesilat Yesharim” of the Ramchal and asked to keep the text “Torah brings to speed … Chasidut leads to humility … and the greatest Hassidism of them all . ” These foundations were Aviad’s guiding principle, and all his desires were to learn and to teach, to observe and to do. His estate contains articles written about the first two chapters of Mesilat Yesharim. His friends in the preparatory school say that he arranged various events and everything behind the scenes, so that God would not say that they praised his face and his face. He was always looking for the friend in need of help and support and was quick to reach out for help in any field. Tamar, his mother, writes in the book “Mesila to Aviad”: “The extent of your giving knows no boundaries, many things that, because of your modesty, you have hidden from us, only afterwards were known by your friends and cherished by your memory. You who need help, and without any delay you will stand up to his right. ” During his visits to the house, beyond his stories about his experiences, he made sure to take an interest in each and every member of the family and to give personal attention to each and every one of them. As the eldest son of the family, his younger sisters’ eyes and his younger brother were on him, and he was a source and role model whose advice and advice always fell on attentive ears. Aviad wanted to be “my best brother”, “Shakal”, the most combat, to be a exemplary soldier and fulfill his dream to defend the people and the land. On March 24, 2003, he joined the Givati Brigade and was assigned to the Engineering Corps in the Southern Command, where he successfully completed basic training and continued advanced training which focused on the sabotage field and included a parachuting course and a training course for special positions for the “Samson Foxes” At the beginning of his career in the army, he was marked as a soldier with clear command capability and was assigned to a squad commanders’ course. In the night between Monday and Tuesday, the Givati unit of the Givati Brigade took part in Operation “Steel Riders” against the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. Aviad and his teammates detonated and destroyed central lathes in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, which were used by the terrorists to manufacture rockets and weapons, and the fighters began to leave the Zeitun neighborhood. At the time of the attack, Aviad and his comrades were hit by a direct hit. As a result of this injury, Aviad and five of his friends, First Sergeant Ofer Jerbi, First Sergeant Yaakov (Zelko) Marvitza, Sergeant Yaakov (Kobi) Mizrachi, Sergeant Eitan (Mordechai) Newman and Sergeant Adron Amar were killed. Aviad was twenty-one years old when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl. Survived by parents, two sisters and two brothers. In a letter the family received from IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya’alon, he said: “Aviad was described as a leading soldier in the team and as a person who stood out for his sensitivity and wisdom. Due to his radiant personality and the many qualities that lay within him, Aviad was destined to become part of a squad commanders’ course, in order to return to the unit as one of its commanders, and because of his devotion to his friends and his caring for those around him, Aviad was loved by all. I am certain that Aviad ‘s special character will illuminateThrough the commanders of the unit and its soldiers … “.
