Karsenty, Moshe

Moshe, son of-Tikva and Gabriel, was born on February 23, 1948 in Tiberias fter completing his basic training, he was sent to the Armored Corps School where he was ordained a tank driver. He participated in the Six-Day War as a tank crew member in Arik Sharon’s division. Moshiko did not tell much about the period of his service, but later told of his great devotion to his comrades and the courage he displayed during the battle. In early May 1969, Moshe was released from regular service. When he returned home, he wanted to fulfill his dream of working the land, but reality forced him to seek his livelihood in the city. After marrying his girlfriend Sara, the couple moved to Tiberias and Moshiko was hired as a driver at Egged. He devoted himself to his work with his characteristic enthusiasm, and as a charming and charming young man his presence could not be ignored and he had acquired dozens and hundreds of friends. He had a captivating charm and a charming smile; His passengers and friends loved him and used to look for the gay, green-eyed boy who, in his love of Galilee, caught up with everything. Moshiko was a model son. Every Sabbath he spent with his parents. He worked hard to build his house. After three years of working at Egged as an employee, he was hired as a permanent employee three months before the Yom Kippur War. But he had always wanted to be a house and a citrus grove in the moshav, for he was a man of quiet, of discourse and of land. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Moshiko was called to prepare for a military drive and he waited at the Egged branch for instructions. On the afternoon of the 10th of Tishrei 5740 (October 6, 1973) he received a summons and immediately went to the Golan Heights to serve as the company commander’s tank driver. In the battle that took place that day, his tank encountered an ambush by Syrian soldiers near Hoshenia. The tank was hit and his crew jumped out. Moshiko was shot and killed. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Migdal. He left behind a wife and son, a father who could not bear to grieve and committed suicide, a mother, two sisters, and a brother. After his fall, he was promoted to First Sergeant.
