Kornwurtzel, Yonah
Son of son of-Zion Tuvia Ze’ev and Rina. Born on 25 June 1952 in Haifa, he attended the “Aharon” elementary school and the “Bnei Akiva” High School, both in Kiryat Shmuel, and later moved to the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem where he continued He was recruited to the IDF in early August 1970. But a month later, on the 4th of September, 1970, he was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa The commander of the unit wrote to the bereaved parents: “I know that there is no comfort to lose and there are no words to express the magnitude of the disaster. But his actions during his service will be a source of pride and strength to bear the burden of disaster. Your son was a good soldier, he had faithfully performed what he had been entrusted with, and he had accomplished well. He knew how to combine the study of war and the defense of our country with a chapter of Gemara in times of leisure; It is perhaps more than anything else that symbolizes the image of the Israeli soldier (the figure of our sons), who thanks to Torah studies, along with war studies, turn him into a soldier with a high moral standard that adds purity to the IDF’s weapon. To some of the IDF’s family of fighters, a family that has proved in serious tests that it is fearless. Please accept our sincere condolences, and his soul will be bound by the bonds of life. “
