Ben Vardit and Mark Mordechai. Avishai was born and educated in Upper Nazareth on the eve of Passover, and the Mohel said that this is a double blessing for a long life … His mother, who wished for a son who would marry Her father’s name gave the baby the name Avishai, a special and meaningful name, and over the years Avishai was nicknamed “Avish”, “Avishosh” and “Vish.” Avishai, with the good face, the blue eyes and the gold curls, He wanted to touch everything and to know everything else, and especially he was interested in the issue of “where do you grow your legs.” As the eldest son, he discovered from a young age responsibility for his sister Os At the age of five Avishai began to swim, and over the years the pool became a daily workout and great love, and he was a member of the Hapoel Natseret Elite swimming team and participated in butterfly and rowing competitions, At the age of fifteen, it turned out that the intensive and intensive training caused knee damage and Avishai was forced to give up this sport, and Avishai developed a new hobby in his childhood, showing great talent, but his lack of perseverance led to the end of the novel, After two years. Avishai studied in Upper Nazareth in the “Gilad” elementary school, and went on to junior high and high school at the Moshe Sharett School. Already in the first grade he was discovered as a talented student with high intelligence who expressed himself both orally and in writing. However, he used to invest only in subjects that interest him – and the others abandoned. Avishai caught the call quickly, and at the same time discovered the wonders of the library with all its books. Avishai was a real bookworm. At first he read whatever came next and always looked like a book in his hand; Sometimes he read several books that were scattered around the house. He would spend hours in the library and come back loaded with books, until the librarians worried that the books would run out … Even after the lights out, he would steal a few more minutes of reading under the blanket, with a flashlight, until he was caught. As he grew older, he focused mainly on science fiction books, and after reading them all more than once, he began to read them in English; According to him, the translators did an injustice to the artists in the translation work and he preferred to examine the works in the original language. He made sure to equip the travelers abroad with a list of wanted books – books that were difficult – and sometimes impossible – to obtain in Israel, and the bookshelves that remained in his room were the ultimate proof that his request was filled with joy and joy. Avishai also liked cartoons that would have made him laugh to tears, at any age, and his laughter was an inseparable part of him: science fiction films were completely addicted, and he did not miss a single episode of “Star Trek” and “Babylon 5.” Demanded that his family record the episodes he had broadcast and when he came home he would immediately sit down to watch them But above all was Avishai’s great love for the computer, in which he discovered his genius from the dawn of his youth, and demonstrated an unthinkable knowledge of computers, as if he and the computer were one, he knew how to operate, correct, Avishai applied the knowledge to correct any problem, to identify any cause of the problem and gave directions for repair – even by telephone, while driving – he was the first in the neighborhood to connect to the Internet, the Internet was a fascinating journey to endless districts and all the friends and neighbors They would sit beside him stunned by his discovery and the sites he had come to, NidaWater from his tireless ability. Naturally, he chose the computer and electronics trend in high school and strengthened the computer system in the school. His studies in the computer field graduated with honors. During his high school years, Avishai contributed to two important areas: he volunteered for the Civil Guard and also contributed his time and ability to bring computers into the school library. Later, he spent nights as a day assimilating the Internet as a learning tool. The extent of giving and the ability to listen to others were a significant part of Avishai’s personality. Avishai liked to help, and if he was a friend in trouble or needed help, he would stand up – even in the small hours of the night – without asking questions or hesitating, enlisting to help in every matter. Upon his induction into the IDF at the end of October 1998, Avishai was appointed to the Communications Corps (now the Computer Corps), and immediately after completing basic training, he went to a technician training course at the Air Force Technical School. After completing the course, he was assigned to the “Birnit” base in Division 91 and became a soldier in the “Nofim” battalion, which conducts activities supporting the combat units. Many times he joined the force of one of the elite units that entered the Lebanese territory into special and classified activity. In his regiment he was considered the “king of the cabins”, the one who always managed to get the missing equipment for himself and his friends, and was nicknamed “Maguiver” and “Avishai Harbi”. In 2000, he met his girlfriend Mor Lieberman. The two set their date of marriage on 21.9.2004. In the fall of 2001, Avishai began his army service. The future looked promising and it was agreed with him that he could go on to study electronics engineering in the future.

He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Upper Nazareth, with thousands of relatives, friends and acquaintances accompanying him on his last journey. His mother: “My dear child, taken in the blink of an eye, leaving beautiful memories. My sweet child, nice people have been around us for the past two days, praising you and telling you about your wonders. Your life was cut off when you wanted to fix the world. I love you. “On April 16, 2006, a trip was held in the area of Zippori, part of which was dedicated to Avishai’s memory.
