In his youth he joined the Hanoar Haoved movement and, although he was connected to a synagogue, was a member of a traditional family, he spent a lot of time as a trainee and later as a youth counselor. Tivon and his apprentices admired and respected him as “omnipotent.” He made many plans for the advancement of his fellow students. He used to buy paratrooper boots, which he used during his travels, and purchased army equipment, which was connected to nature, field and vegetation, and took advantage of every spare moment for trips because he liked to travel and explore. In the Paratroopers Brigade, despite the fact that it was explained to him that the life of the paratroopers was difficult and exhausting. But Elijah made sure to keep a promise, and he promised the guys: “I’ll be a parachutist – and a good parachutist.” The family had never heard a complaint, demand, or indignation from him. On Monday, 14.10.1969, he fell in the line of duty and was put to rest at the military cemetery in Elroy. The battalion commander wrote in a letter of condolence to the family: “Eli was proud of his family, proud of the fact that for generations he had lived with them in Israel, proud of his mother and his great family. Because in the long nights of guarding and patrol he would turn around all night and sing to himself, a Simcha and joyful boy who had a deep sense of justice in him, and if he thought that one of the commanders was wrong he would say so and fight for it. Even his friends, he could be tired and hungry, but did not stop until he had finished his task. See the underprivileged and the weak and always encouraged his friends did not break down and go through the rigors of the army. ” His family entered a Torah scroll in his name and in memory of the Elijah Hanavi Synagogue in Elroy.
