Rachel and David’s younger son, brother to Liam.

In his childhood, Neiviah had special qualities that enchanted all his readers: personal charm and sensitivity to others, rare judgment and wisdom for his age, wide-ranging curiosity, generous character and boundless love for family and friends. A fourth-grader (Herzl School) writes that “his captivating charms glittered and he was only 10 years old … a beautiful angel’s face.” A seventh grader (Ironi High School) adds: “I sat next to him for about half And this was a unique experience … and what was very special about it is the Kabbalah … Niv-Ya received people as they are, this is a wonderful and outstanding quality. ” As a talented young man he studied and played flute for eight years, and at the same time he built model models and aircraft from a very young age. During his high school years, he developed an in-depth knowledge of the world of aviation, robotics, and studied special inventions and patents. In 1995 he completed his high school studies and was tested at 5 units in the real professions. In the eulogy of the high school teacher, we read: “All those values that we wish to fulfill in human beings around us, such as: human dignity, the sanctity of life, the love of the land and its landscapes, human responsibility for the human environment, tolerance and openness, sensitivity and belonging. And your intellectual and creative skills along with your values could be the basis for your being a leader and leader among us. ” Niv-Ya’s interest and enthusiasm in other cultures has grown stronger over the years. He traveled abroad with his family (1990 – a bar mitzvah trip to England, 1992 – a family trip to France and a trip to the rivers of England) and with friends (1994 to Sinai, 1995 to Greece.) Upon graduating from high school he was accepted as a student of aerospace engineering at the Technion In the framework of the academic reserve, and his multifaceted creativity and leadership abilities matured during his studies at the Technion and produced a high-yield crop, serving as the student representative of the class and member of the faculty committee, a member of the editorial board. In physics and mathematics for the disabled, and as a senior instructor for pilots in ” Aviation and Space. “In 1997, he conceived, initiated and organized the” Bikkopter “competition among the Technion students, which was designed to build a facility that will enable the 40-meter-long swamp to reach the ground in minimal time. (1999), Niv-Ya conceived and organized the “Techno-Rosh 2” competition, the “leading light.” The challenge was to design and build the “techno-head” competition in Israel and abroad. A vehicle that will travel to a maximum distance with a special energy source – two candles are lit.This competition has also been very successful and Naveh was invited to plan The Technion president at the time wrote in the wake of the “BigCopter” competition that “the entire competition was attended by all the Israeli and international media, and there were many echoes in the world. The success was so great that we decided to turn it into an annual event, because it contains all the elements that make the engineering profession creative, fascinating and sweeping. I saw Niv-Ya during the competition dealing with the talent and ability of the competitors, the audience and the media, and it seems to me from this unique experience that he is blessed with talent. “”Niv-Ya was a special person, and he was a very special person in the field of photography, Unusual. Beyond the personal character traits of wisdom, rare honesty and kindness, he always wanted the common good.

In 1998, Niv-Ya was chosen as an outstanding student at the Technion. In 2000, he was awarded an award for excellence in the design of the “Goliath” UAV in the final project competition of graduate students at the 40th Israeli Conference on Aeronautics and Space Sciences, and after completing his studies in the summer of 1999, A. As an outstanding officer. In the fall of 1999 he was placed in the Air Force High School in the Air Force and served there until his death. At the same time, he began his MA studies in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion, and continued community social activities in volunteer frameworks (the youth groups at the Technoda Museum, painting on the walls of the Faculty, Milbat, Birthright, etc.) He was chosen as an outstanding officer for the period 2001-2002, and a special technological development in which he worked during his last year and passed successful flight tests in 2004. His trips abroad continued continuously in 1997, – to Italy, 1998 – to the United States, 1999 – to Ireland and Scotland, 2000 – to Prague, 2001 – to Africa in a journey that included the climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro, 2002 – And his friends in the air force, his commanders said in his eulogy: “Niv-ya, you came to the branch in the autumn of 1999. Only during the period of his service as an aeronautical engineer in the Israel Air Force, For three and a half years and so much the deed on which your name is raised, so many achievements that you have reached and which you have shared, so is your sign in the industry. You have made dozens of changes in aircraft, initiated changes in aircraft, changes that directly contributed to strengthening the strength of the air force you so loved, and to the security of the State of Israel, to which you were so proud to belong. Also stood out in the social sphere. You were the main axis of the youth of the industry, you were a prime star in the branches of the branch, you formed a group of young people who traveled and spent together … You have the soul of an engineer, and you have the sensitive soul of an artist … You have this kind of wonderful fusion, , A kind of merger that makes you pay and perfect. “Niv-Ya left behind an abundance of ideas and dreams for the future, including a list of challenges for future techno-rash competitions, the Kopelin, a special city plan in the Negev called” “There is a concept of time in the world, and there is the time of Niv-Ya: None of us knows exactly what life is, but it seems that Niv-Ya knew exactly.” The family eulogy at the funeral ends in rows: “Our niv-ya, your last photo a few hours before your death, in which you will look happy, smiling and relaxed in the heart of a field of flowers in the Besor stream, will accompany us forever.

The love in which we have surrounded you will not fade and you will always remain the Niv-Ya, the fruit of the one special heavenNiv-Ya was a graduate student at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion, when he proposed with his friend “to change the faces of the orphaned walls” and to paint something colorful and large that would break the academic grayness that permeates the building. In front of the classrooms, a picture was drawn depicting the flight from the Wright Brothers to the F16. Niv-Ya completed the painting alone for a whole year, between studies and exams, hobbies, work, personal commitment and army. On Saturday, 4 March 2003, Captain Niv-Ya Dorban was killed while serving as an officer in the Israel Air Force and a graduate student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. “Machva Alon” of the Education Corps, who roamed the streets of Tel Aviv with loaded and alert weapons and shot at Niv-Ya by chance.

At the center of the book “Kofiko in the Beikopter Competition”, by Tamar Bornstein-Lazar (2000). At the 45th Israeli Conference on Aeronautics and Space Sciences (2005), a special session on “Design and Performance” was dedicated to the memory of Niv-Ya.
