Farjun, Roi

Ben Tamar and Emanuel. Born on March 31, 1985 at the Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, he grew up in Yehud, one of a quartet of three sons and a daughter, and after leaving his mother’s womb Roi weighed only 1,450 kilograms, He grew up and reached a normal weight, and when he came home with his three brothers, he was already one of the babies, and it was easy and pleasant to raise him: as a baby he ate and slept well, and he always smiled with his good eyes. Over the years, the two were good friends and shared their experiences and secrets with each other The mother, who was left alone with a quartet of toddlers, showed great strength and mobilized all her energies to cope with the new reality. In their early years, the four brothers received a devoted and loving care at the Na’amat facility. Together they went to first grade at the “Ma’aleh” elementary school, and from there they continued to the Yigal Allon scientific high school. At the age of thirteen, the dream of the four brothers – the “Perjonim,” as they were fondly called – was realized when they were invited to Avri Gilad’s program, where they were given a festive bar mitzvah, where they were given many gifts and a trip by Mor and Tami to Eurodissini in Paris. None of the viewers remained indifferent to the moving scene, and quite a few shed tears. Roy was a polite, gentle child, pleasant, cordial and calm, full of humor and smiling. “Roi is simply love, or alternatively, simple love,” one of his friends summarized his essence; “Taking life as seriously as they wish,” one of the teachers explained. “My strongest memory of Roi,” said Ronen Simcha, the educator, “is the quiet power – the power that sits in the place and works and helps others and supports, a calm leadership that does not impose on anyone and does not take control of anyone. As part of the personal commitment project, Roi inaugurated an eight-year-old student and assisted him in his studies. Roy graduated with a high degree in biology. His teachers talk about his tremendous motivation, that he set goals and goals, and that he did not compromise until they were accomplished perfectly. “As a student, Roy was an advertisement for diligence and diligence,” says Avigail Darab, the history teacher. “I remember his tiny, round, orderly handwriting, as he looked at me from his tests, and his jealousy of every point I thought he had made unjustly, but even when he bargained or protested he never forgot his etiquette. Special … “Roi was a good friend of all, knew how to encourage and strengthen, to encourage and rejoice in the joy of others and to support them in pain. “Everyone would feel, a sensitive person who could say the right word at the right time,” the friends say. “He could have had a conversation with anyone – with a seven-year-old boy and a seventy-year-old man,” they add, concluding: “Roi engraved the slogan ‘love of Israel,’ which he naturally wanted. Roy’s family was one unit, united and cohesive. Roy had great respect for his grandmother, and he had great love for her cooking. “Grandma has spices between her fingers,” he used to compliment her. To his mother, Roi was tied with ties, and he appreciated the efforts she and his brother had made when she was alone. He expressed his gratitude and appreciation more than once, and every year he made sure to celebrate her birthday with flowers, candles and delicious cake. In general, Roi was very fond of surprise, and after a 50-year-old mother, he organized a brother with herHugh a big and unforgettable surprise party. Roi also knew how to thank him, as Shani Persky, the biology teacher, says: “I was shocked by the gratitude you and your friends gave me at the end of the year, and I always said,` This guy will be far away. ‘With motivation, determination and initiative, nothing will stand up. He was on his way … “Roi’s path was Derech Eretz, spiced with unique humor and witty words. But when the time came to make an important decision, the serious, considerate, examining, examining, weighing and analyzing Roi went out into the light. At the beginning of the twelfth grade, Roy heard about the new pre-military academy that was established in Beit El, and described it as a groundbreaking preparatory program for the graduates of high school yeshivas, as was customary until then. “His step from a traditional home and religious high school to a yeshiva preparatory program was not simple at all,” his friends say, “but when he decided that was his way, he took it all the way.” And the students of the yeshiva. “We discovered a talented and diligent fellow who progressed religiously step by step, invested all his energy in learning Torah, and even During the lunch break, he would go to the nearby high school, where he would study there with his friends, “says Rabbi Moshe Malka, head of the Mechina and its founder, who ended his year in the yeshiva and continued to study Torah. , Initiated and organized events, and took responsibility for hosting the eighth year students who came to know the place during his stay at Beit-El, by the Cohen family – Ilanit and Shimon, and their children Chen, Yogev, Dotan and Shalev. “Already at the first meeting, Roy, you fascinated us and made a special and meaningful place in our hearts,” they write. “Roi is quiet, smiling, gentle and courteous … about the house and the family you always spoke with eyes filled with love …” With a loving smile, Baruch and patiently devoted himself Roi to the Cohen family. “When we asked Roi what he wanted to be, he said, ‘I want to be a father,'” the Cohens add. “After our shared period with you, we Convinced – you could have been a great father. ” On May 4, 2005, Roi enlisted in the Nahal Brigade’s 97th Battalion, with the clear aim of continuing to strengthen as much as possible from a religious standpoint, while simultaneously contributing to the people and the homeland as much as possible from a military perspective. . “Roi was one of the most admired people who always radiated joy and love and mediated between all of them,” and then concludes: “Roi was told: ‘Quiet waters penetrate deep.'” On one of the trips Roi sprained his legs, but in spite of the intense pain, he insisted on doing the exercises like everyone else: “He raised the soldiers in the battalion from the majority that was dominant … he was mature More than the other guys at his age. … Everyone loved him, just a charming person, “they said,” Throughout the difficult and grinding period Roi performed all the tasks thoroughly and without complaint. “… This was the beginning of the dedication and investment that seemed to be evident throughout his army service “He did not know to what extent his departure would lead to the course and that he would be too worried for his mother and would be hurt,” he said.”In the end, Roy went on a course and managed to combine the military activity with his spiritual path, even though he was troubled, as Rabbi Yitzhak Bar-Haim relates:” When I spoke with him, he never made any claim, only arguments “I have to thank the Lord who is in the battalion that bestows the best on everything in holiness.” Roi completed the course successfully and was the commander of a class in the “Giborei HaHayal” troop. “Roy told me that one of the things that is most important to him as a commander is for the soldiers to feel that he is their father, because he had no father. “Roy always made us laugh,” says one of them, “and he would talk to me as if we were friends since we were children. Not always everyone treats new immigrants like this. “In his constant pursuit of excellence and perfection Roi was a role model:” Always when we went home, he was the most ‘sampled’ and neat, his efod was amazingly professional … His love for an ideal life was a refreshing sight in the army He had a look that expressed ‘dreams’ – high aspirations. The commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Attali, testified: “Roi stood out most calmly and modestly, but he always took the initiative when necessary, there was no pride in him – just simplicity, innocence and humility, kindness, faith and giving.” Roy’s regiment, Netzach Yehuda, was the only permanent infantry force in the Menashe Brigade, and its soldiers worked at checkpoints, arrested, seized wanted persons, and became experts in the areas of the Jordan Valley and the Jordan Valley. But he did not for a moment forget his true being as a God-fearing Jew, and the times between one operational activity and the other devoted to prayers and study: “The devotion that Roi had during prayer, as if every day he met in the text for the first time … On the first day of the Second Lebanon War, Roy’s regiment was encouraged to assist in the rescue of those killed in a tank that had boarded an explosive charge The soldiers then returned to the Valley, and at this stage Roi was supposed to continue on to the officer’s course, but the quick promotion path of the promising, gentle, quiet and modest young man was abruptly cut off on Saturday, 19 Av 5766 (19 August 2006) Roi was killed in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley, and at around noon he reached the Baqa’ot checkpoint, drew a pistol, and began to fire at the soldiers manning the checkpoint, one bullet piercing Roi’s chest and critically wounded. Opened the pursuit of the terrorist, managed to kill him, and caught another suspect, who was later sent to life imprisonment. “Roi embodied qualities we would like to see in every fighter and commander: On the one hand, he treated his soldiers with great love and devotion throughout the day and night, and on the other hand he was a professional soldier who would not compromise.” Many One of his classmates wrote: “I feel the pain of my soul … I remember you, in your beauty, in the two main things that arise in me when I think of you – humility And excellence. You had what was in the greatness of Israel – power, yet tremendous modesty. “I remember a great man,” another friend wrote, “I remember someone who lived a real life, which is always the real one of life.” A friend of the company added: “We were privileged and Roy was with us in the army, , The gentleness and gentleness of it that were engraved in our soulsRoy’s teachers, his comrades, and his commanders united the stories and memories, the obituaries and the farewell lists that were written in two booklets that were submitted to the family: Rabbi Yosef Shana, the rabbi of the Yigal Allon School, compared Roee’s story to the story of Isaac’s sacrifice. “With Abraham, the prayer of the angels was accepted, while among you, the angels wanted Roi Eitam in the yeshiva of Ma’aleh, in his pleasant manner, to enjoy his smile and wisdom.” The educator Tzachi Yokel wrote: “Roy, you have progressed in the virtues of the Torah in your short life as if you knew that tomorrow is the day of your death. You came in a short time to the degree that many of us would like to be … “The educator Victor Vaknin said to him:” … the thing that characterized you most, Roy, is the shy smile. The smile – the joy of life, the love of friends, the honesty, the giving to all around you. Shyness – modesty, secret giving, the desire to help everyone, but to be behind the scenes. For me it is your will for us. “Roy was a character who conveys a lot of calm, security, strength, and not just physical strength. I saw a lot of caring, a desire to learn, to know and to progress, and lots of love for a person. Roi’s former commander, Daniel Rudyonov, wrote: “Today I know for certain that Roi was a faithful messenger to God and did his job faithfully in this world …” Roy was immortalized In various establishments. In Yehud, a benevolent fund was established in his name; Soldiers of the 97th Battalion brought a Torah scroll to the synagogue for his soul. A video clip in memory of him was uploaded to the Internet and appears at http://www.etrog.tv/galleries/memories/fargun. Roi’s sister Mor, on the radio program of Avi Katz, hosted “Night Talks” at the “Non-Stop Radio” station and told about her brother, Lieutenant Colonel Itzik Guy, adding things in his memory. To listen to the station’s website, http://www.103.fm, in the Media Archive section, Roee’s friends made a Sabbath in his memory at Yeshivat Or Etzion and put up lines for him: “Security is on your way,” the friends wrote. Roi’s life was not something that was Roy, the first space of the “Netzach Yehuda” battalion, was twenty-one years old when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military section of the Jewish cemetery in Yehud. Survived by his mother, two brothers – Eliran and Guy, and sister Mor. After his fall, he was promoted to First Sergeant. At the unveiling ceremony, the family’s personal inscription was engraved: “A son and a beloved and beloved brother / Gd is innocent in his ways and humble in his ways.” And end but something eternal that continues, and we must remember it and continue its path in our lives to the world. “May his memory be blessed.
