Fleischmann, Zalman-Aharon

Son of Haim and Michal. Was born on March 2, 1948, in Pocking, West Germany, to his parents, survivors of the Holocaust, and had all their hopes: the family immigrated to Israel in 1949. He studied at the elementary school in Moshav Tzafaria and later moved to Moshav Hamed and completed his studies there He was a religious fighter and was a member of the Bnei Akiva movement in Moshav Tzfaria, and he was an excellent athlete, well-played soccer player, and a great fitness player, and he liked to make trips, and as the journey was more arduous and the challenge bigger, he was more enthusiastic about it. In elementary school, he studied at the “Ort” yeshiva in Kfar Avraham, near Petah Tikva, and participated in the three marches to Jerusalem. He loved nature and the living, and from a young age he worked in his parents’ farm and helped them work, because he loved to be applauded, always noting that he was very satisfied with physical labor, but he had a gentle and pure soul. The spirit was a symbol of the combination of “Safra and Seifah.” Everyone who knew him learned a lesson in respect for his father and his mother, which was a kind of wonderful dedication that was difficult to find. Were consistent with his parents’ wishes. He had only a hint on their part-and their desire was immediately, unquestioned. He is liberal and progressive, yet religious and very religious. He is meticulous in both difficult and easy commandments and has not missed a single prayer in the minyan in the synagogue. During basic training, as soon as he was drafted into the army, he asked his parents to send him a cup of hand-washing before his meals. He respected and admired true Torah scholars and drank thirstily from the words of an elderly rabbi, who would come to the moshav to lecture on religious matters, and repeat them at every opportunity. He was an outstanding student in Yeshivah and had an uncommon memory and was a “secret pit that does not lose a drop.” He would quote verses he had learned many years ago and would have studied every subject he loved until they knew him. His friends and acquaintances were often astounded when they heard ideas, facts, dates, and assessments about a subject close to his Lev. He was a loyal, loving, devoted friend and always willing to help others. He was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in early February 1967. From an early age he dreamed of serving in this corps and admired every commander in his army, and he believed in the IDF’s ability to overcome any enemy because of its strength Weapons and the quality of its fighters and commanders. As a rifleman, he loved the tank and knew his “tank” every screw, nail and slot – and for every achievement of the armor he was very Simcha as if it were his own victory. During his military service he attained the rank of First Sergeant. He had many plans to continue his studies but he did not. On March 1, 1971, he was called up for reserve service, but on the day after his departure he was injured while carrying out his duties and on the 16th of Adar 5731 (March 16, 1971), he died. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. A book of poems entitled “Hileh Aryeh El Ha-Ze’ev” was published by Aleph in Tel Aviv and is the product of two authors who dedicated it to his memory: Arie Ingber (his best friend) and Zeev son of Shabtai, his memory was immortalized in the Holy Ark (“Ort”) in Kfar Avraham, near Petah Tikva, where he studied, and a Torah scroll was dedicated in his memory at the entrance to this synagogue, a Torah scroll was written in his memory and on the first of his month of Cheshvan 5733 (his twenty-fourth birthday) Which is located in Moshav Tzafariya. After the death of his father (21 months after the fall), the Torah scroll was transferred to the “Torah and Malcha” yeshiva and was placed in the Holy Ark that was erected in his memory. Booklet BThe name “Erez Shnagda” (Erez – as his initials and tall appearance) was published on the second anniversary of his fall.
