Joshua, Moses


Moshe, son of Shoshana and Yehoshua, was born in 1944 in Kurdistan, Iraq, and immigrated to Israel with his family in 1951. In Israel, Moshe began his studies at the Nahshon elementary school in Jerusalem, 1962 and assigned to the Armored Corps. Throughout his service, he was considered a good soldier, obedient and obedient, responsible and dedicated to his job, and was an example to his friends in his good temper and in his tolerance. After he was discharged from regular service, he was often called for periods of reserve service. As part of the reserve service he participated in the war in 1967 and was awarded the “Six Day War”. Moshe lived all his life modestly. He made a living from his work and kept his family in a state of distress, and yet he was Simcha with it. He would come back from work at night, familiar with a supermarket, and help his wife with housework in a one-room apartment. The next day he went to the synagogue to pray before leaving for work. He was one of the servants in the sanctuary, and the people of the neighborhood finished his praises. He worked as hard as he could to fix the synagogue, and in his hand was a notepad listing the days he had set for himself to clean and arrange the place. Moshe was loved and respected by people. He always took part in the joy of others, the joy of God and people, and served the audience with enthusiasm. He loved to help others. When the bomb exploded in the supermarket he was working in, he helped with all his might to rescue the wounded and help evacuate the customers. He loved his family and taught his children to be faithful to God, their people, and their country. He was courteous and polite, gentle and pleasant. He greeted everyone and was hospitable. By nature he was humble, easygoing, and hard to be angry. He was lenient and forgiving, and he never took care of anyone else. He was peace loving and honest, honest and conscientious, a man of morality and pure manners. He was modest and shy, withdrawn and withdrawn. He was a loyal son to his parents and respected them greatly. During the Yom Kippur War, Moshe took part in the battle against the Egyptians in Sinai. On October 24, 1973, Moshe fell in battle in the city of Suez. He and his unit were sent to break into the city to rescue a paratroopers’ unit. During the battle Moshe was hit and killed. He was laid to rest at the Mount Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem. He left behind a wife and six sons, a father, a mother, three brothers and a sister. His little son was born after his death, and is named after him – Moshe Chai. After his fall, he was promoted to sergeant. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, his commander wrote: “Moshe was a dedicated and loyal soldier, loved by his comrades and accepted by his commanders.
