Horowitz, Elon Yaakov


Ben Mandy and Moshe Chaim. Elon Jacob was born on the 3rd of Cheshvan 5742 (November 3, 1981) in the Alonei Habashan in the Golan Heights, a moshav whose parents were its founders, a second child to his parents, a brother of Maya, Adva, Aryeh, Uriah, Tal, Bareket and Benjamin. Ayalon completed two years of study at the yeshiva and enlisted in the IDF on November 22, 2001. He served as a combat soldier in the Givati ​​Brigade in the Engineering Division. Yair, Ayalon’s friend at the yeshiva, continued with him in the army: “Before enlisting in the army, I asked myself quietly whether Ayalon would succeed in leading the military life as he did at the meeting … In retrospect, I understand that I did not knowAnd it’s still good enough. Ayalon in the military system changed shape. He became a soldier, but his flow remained; And in the army he was in the army … I noticed that the engineering and sabotage studies that we had learned came to Eilon very easily. When I saw the speed of his hands as he put on a thundering thread – I was rather shocked, but not really surprised … He did not change to Ayalon what pool he would be thrown into. Wherever he fell, he just flowed. Not average flow – a leading, sweeping flow. When we were walking, when we wrote and sang, when we studied Torah and when we served in the army, Ayalon was always an addict that gives Amery Sheffer … and after that insight, I was not surprised that Ayalon was the first in his team to take over. ” Ohad, his subordinate, said: “Ayalon was another commander, a commander with very few soldiers getting one in the army, and as a novice, all the more so. We won a commander who wanted to educate us, wanted us to be good, moral, happy people, and that we be a cohesive team that cares about each other. David Groves, Ayalon’s chief of staff, said: “From the first moment Ayalon landed in the platoon, As commanders, we saw Ayalon as a serious figure, who always understood what we wanted from him, but he knew how to stand up to principles that were important to him and not to obey everything for granted, with blind faith … Ayalon thought that in order for a soldier to be better enough To talk to him and explain things to him, and that would be better than playing ‘basic training games’ … Ayalon was a very special person. A man who had a different way, whom I did not know throughout the army, in order to make the soldiers better. “The crew called Ayalon” the grandfather “because he was two years older than them. The team’s nonsense. Always calm, never understanding why everyone is so numerous. The one who controls the situation, not the situation. You were a real friend. You always knew how to give the right advice … You always invited us to come to you, we knew that your house was open and that you were always at our disposal. “During the service, Ayalon moved to the rank of First Sergeant, and during the period of his service, Your wonderful ability to look at the world, ask questions about it, let your words be interpreted in all directions without bothering you to know exactly what you meant. You wanted this freedom – not to know, to ask, not to take anything for granted, to see everything so vivid and moving and changing before your eyes. “This is what Ayalon wrote about relationships:” … I always imagined the two of us together, We have a small / strange problem but on the other hand there must always be something / a memory of the destruction … a couple from heaven / you entered To all kinds of faces in all kinds of situations / without a deceptive womb, not as easy as I said: maybe because you did not know your name / it is so complicated, because it seems to me that this too / was revealed separately / together. ” Flop fell in operations between Shevat Tss”d (02/02/2004), a training accident. During a combined exercise near the town of Baruch in the northern Golan, an armored personnel carrier accidentally crushed the Hummer jeep that Elon was in.
