Deus, Israel

Israel, son of Sarah and Yehia, was born in 1946 in Yemen as the youngest child of his parents, and sixth in 1949. In 1949, the family immigrated to Israel and settled in Moshav Ahiezer, where Israel studied in elementary school. Although at first it was hard for him to disengage from his mother’s lunacy, he quickly became acclimatized with the children and was even found to have a natural leadership capacity. Israel, or Yisroelik, as they called him in the moshav, excelled at a young age with special talents for music, singing and playing on various musical instruments, even though no one learned to play. In addition, Isrolyk excelled in a stage game and many predicted a bright future for him. “His greatest talent,” says his brother Nissim, “was sitting at the wheel, and the villagers know that when they saw a truck without a driver, they knew that the little Yasholik was sitting on the driver’s seat.” After graduating from elementary school, Israel moved to the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva “Neve Herzog” in Nir Galim. Along with his studies, he bore the brunt of the family agriculture and nurturing the agriculture. Despite his workload, he found time for activities in the Bnei Akiva youth movement, participated in summer camps and trips, and played soccer in the local team. His brother, Nissim, said: “He was the source of joy in the house and in every society in which he was found, as if he had come to the world solely to warm and raise the hearts of people. Israel was drafted into the IDF in mid-February 1967 and assigned to the Armored Corps, where he completed a course in tank-related fields and a load-connection course, and in early 1970 he completed his regular service and returned to the agriculture. A lot of nature, especially vegetation, chose him as a gardener at the Hamed Nursery, and in the course of his work he succeeded very quickly and was appointed director of the nursery, and the nursery became a social center as well. In the Yom Kippur War, Israel fought on the southern front, and during one of the fierce battles that took place in the Chinese Farm, His tank was destroyed by enemy fire and Israel fell to the military section of Kiryat Shaul, leaving behind his parents, three brothers and two sisters, and was raised to the rank of sergeant In a letter of condolences to the family, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan wrote: “Israel was a good soldier and a devoted friend. He was loved by all those who knew him. “In memory of Israel, his parents donated a Torah scroll to the synagogue in Moshav Ahiezer, and his parents and brothers donated money to build a magnificent box in Israel at the” Victory of Israel ” Moshav Ahiezer; In addition, a booklet was written in his memory, containing the words of friends about his character, and in a booklet that appeared on behalf of the Union of Moshavim, a list was published about Israel.
