In this hobby, he was on a professional level, although he never tried to make a living from it, and in his home there was a lab where he developed photographs and made various experiments in photography. After graduating from high school, Yigal asked to postpone his enlistment in order to continue his studies at the school of his school. After completing several months of service in the unit, he was recruited to serve as an interpreter at an IDF exhibition, where he was drafted into the IDF, Which took place at the exhibition grounds in Tel Aviv. In the morning he served at his base, and in the afternoon he explained the subject of computer systems design. On one of these days, Yigal was released from his base with the whole unit earlier. The weather was pleasant and Yigal and his friends went to the beach in Tel Aviv. While they were at the beach, he saw a child who was in danger of being drowned and Yigal entered the water to save him. Although he was an excellent swimmer, he could not resist the drift of water, so he stood with his head in the water and lifted the boy from the water to call for help. Passersby rushed to save them, but managed to save the child alone. His friends had trouble digesting the disaster. To this day, they come to the parents’ home, and there is no birthday or memorial day for them that does not visit their parents or their graves. Yigal fell during his service on the 11th of Av 5743 (11.7.1983) and was buried in the military cemetery in Holon, where he was followed by his parents and brother, and his commander wrote that Yigal was chosen among many candidates to participate in the military project. Yigal proved his ability in all fields he worked in, was diligent and dedicated to his job, and therefore assigned him to important and exciting tasks for him and for the State of Israel. “You have been privileged to educate a good son to his family, a model soldier in the IDF and a good citizen of the State of Israel, and so we will all remember him”
