Son of Aliza and Moshe. He was born on the 18th of Adar 5749 (February 23, 1989) in Safed. The eldest son of a family of five. Brother to Oshri, Daniel, Priel and Yochai. When he arrived, Meir brought a great joy to his home. Two years after his birth, his brother Oshri was born, and the two were good friends. Meir’s first education was in Safed. He attended the religious elementary school “Harry”, he was a diligent child and showed high motivation to study. He continued his studies at the junior high school of the religious elementary school “AMIT” in Safed, where he studied at the Kaduri School where he and his Jewish friends studied together. Meir was very fond of playing football and was an avid supporter of the Betar Jerusalem team. As he approached his Bar Mitzvah, he expressed a wish to play with the team players and was even willing to give up the bar mitzvah party. His mother fulfilled his dream – she bought him a suit of the team uniform, and Meir won to play with the Betar players, and the event was recorded as a video that was screened at his Bar Mitzvah celebration. When he was fourteen years old, his father suffered from muscular dystrophy, and Meyer became right-hand, helped him with everything and took care of him with devotion, and Meir discovered a special talent for literature and learned the profession himself. She bought a haircut for him, and on Friday afternoons the friends would come to his house and Meir would tell them with great pleasure. Meir continued his studies at the experimental agricultural village of Kaduri, where he was a member of the boarding school, and he loved the place very much and his friends loved him, and the three years he spent in Kadouri were the happiest of his life, and he flourished. At the end of the twelfth grade, Meir enrolled in continuing studies, but eventually decided to give up the plan and join the army. Before his induction, his parents held a big party at their home where relatives and friends were invited, and Meir was Simcha. Meir enlisted in the IDF on 7 October 2007. He was assigned to a general army and underwent basic training at the Zikim base, but his father wanted to serve at a nearby base so that he could help his parents. In the military command of the Northern Command, in which Meir gave himself all his strength and was very fond of his commanders and friends, and he and his direct commander, sergeant Ronen Arbiv, also stayed with the family during the Sukkot holiday. , And even the commanding rabbi of the base was a number … On May 19, 2008, Meir fell during his service in a serious road accident that took place in Beit Shemesh In the evening, his brother Oshri and his cousin decided to go out to spend their time, and Meir was killed on the spot, and his brother Oshri was mortally wounded, and Oshri recovered from his injuries. Was buried in the military cemetery in Safed, where he was followed by his parents, three brothers and a sister, and was promoted to the rank of corporal, Sergeant Ronen Arbib eulogized his beloved commanding officer. In my service in the Northern Command, both as a soldier and as a commander, I met many soldiers, but as soon as I met Meir, I was captivated by his charms. He sang a lot to me and all those around him. Meir had many virtues. I especially remember one of his virtuesWas a guiding light, and it was honoring a father and mother. His father is physically handicapped, and Meir spent many hours caring for his parents. Meir’s younger brother, Yochai, inherited his love of football, and Meir promised his brother that he would take him to a soccer tournament, but did not manage to fulfill his promise. After his fall Meir’s friends took part and took the brother to the tournament, and later took him to a game of the Betar Jerusalem team that took place in Kiryat Shmona. In his last years, Meir approached religion, and once a week he participated in a Torah class. The study group continues to arrive at his parents’ home and conducts their weekly shiur. In Meir’s memory, a prayer book was issued. A safety railing was erected in the synagogue in Safed, and the “Prayer of the Road” was published bearing his name. Meir’s friend, Daniel, wrote in his memory the song “We shall remember and never forget”: “In heaven you are in heaven / You are dear brother We will remember forever / Your face an angel face, you will not forget / It was very hard to hear about the news / You made a very difficult accident / Meir from you More not heard / You will love all life / We will remember and never forget / The family, The friends who love / Do not believe brother, Do not believe / You are not alive, dear brother Dear brother / Dear brother, You are an angel / Dear brother.
