Geula, Ehud-Haim
Son of-Batsheva and Son of-Zion was born on December 17, 1962, in Jerusalem, where he grew up, and Ehud studied for two years at the Moriah State Religious School and later, when the family moved to the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood, After graduating from the Pardes Elementary School, Ehud was a quiet child, from which he studied and excelled at a young age, where he studied at the Kiryat Yo’ar High School in Jerusalem, chose a computer track and concentrated on the theoretical-religious side of studies. And his high grades in the matriculation certificate, and the great esteem that his teachers and friends felt for him, attests to this. He was a short-distance runner and was awarded medals and medals for his achievements in running: Ehud was a member of the football team in his neighborhood, and he liked to play basketball, despite the difficult conditions of the boarding school. He was a member of the “Bnei Akiva” movement in Ramat Eshkol in Jerusalem and participated in many trips by car and leg to familiarize himself with the country in the Judean Desert, Ein Gedi and the Negev. He also traveled through Nahal Amud and Arbel in the Galilee, climbing to the high places in the ropes and skimming them skillfully. Ehud was fond of music, except for Mendolina, and in the Jerusalem Youth Orchestra he was a drummer, an avid optimist who loved people and behaved like a musician. To help them, especially the elderly, he also loved animals and cared for them with devotion, and before he enlisted in the IDF, Ehud examined several hesder yeshivot, but was not satisfied with this choice. He was determined to contribute to the country, which he loved with all his might, in a more active way, and so he was ahead of his enlistment and joined a parachute unit. When he broke out in the Lebanon War, he was active in the Jordan Valley and demanded that he join the war, and his battalion was soon joined in. He was Simcha to use all the knowledge he had accumulated as a soldier. He gave up prayer in battle conditions, and for the first time he was injured in the Bekaa Valley while praying standing up without a helmet while his friends lay in the trenches. He did not tell his parents about it, and they learned from his friends only after he had fallen He was injured again when he volunteered to head the attacking force, although his place was set in the rear, and he and his friends were caught in a narrow alley, under the fire of grenades and snipers, unable to return fire. In his book, “Tal Hayim,” whose family published in his memory, his friends tell him how, despite his injury, he removed his personal bandage, bandaged his wounded friend and refused to evacuate until all the other wounded were evacuated. 5763 (9.6.1983) Ehud fell during his service as he climbed ropes on the cliffs of the Zvitan river in the Golan Heights. He was brought to eternal rest on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. He left behind his parents and four brothers and sisters
