There is no day when your image does not appear before my eyes, smiling and always reminding me that you will be behind me, and today I feel it at such an important stage in my life. You taught me to choose the right path, and to know that only patience brings success.

The man asked the angel: “Why do two pairs of legs sink in the good times of my life?” The angel replied: ‘This is God walking by your side’.

Israel – your name is always etched in my heart. “We shared a lot of things: secrets, joy and even pain. Always in my difficult moments I was there, as if the hand of God had sent you to me … My master and rabbi! I had the right to receive education from you as a father. I had the honor of being your professional assistant and I was lucky to be a guide and always led me to the right places. Thank you for the days you were with me and thank you for everything you were for me. “Israel was very fond of children and was married to Nana, a father of four and lives with his family in Bat-Yam, where his children were twenty-three, thirteen, eleven and nine.

Because when you have gone, the road is lost and you have to follow a new path. Because you, my love, my hero. Thanks to you we have high eagles that you wind under our wings. And I believe we will continue to fly because you are up there praying for us and fighting for us. After fourteen years of living together … how can you explain all the goodness that was embodied in you, your infinite giving to all around you, your great spirituality … and this is because your soul was pure and special. Because God dwelt within you. No ordinary human being deserves your divine giving. So only God gives people that he loves. And I believe that’s why he also took you back to him because he needed the part he had in you. And knowing that you have chosen me from all of them, from all the girls in the world to be your wife, to society and to the greatest love you have given me, is a great privilege and a great honor … “Zvika Ben-David found it hard to part with his commander:” Israel is passing without you and it’s getting harder. I wait for you to come, to see the person without whom the world seems so different, to me that has always seemed like an amazing angel who never stopped thinking about everyone around. You always gave everyone a sense of faith, you transmitted to the environment as if nothing had happened, the worries and fears you would have left deep inside, and you were not willing to get help even in the difficult moments. She fought until the last minute and even from the bed at Avdat Hospital and always found a solution. We stayed with a very great pain but one thing is certain that you will stay inside me until my last day … It’s hard for me to write about you in the past, I still can not believe it’s over. Every problem solved the other, but unfortunately the disease was stronger than you and even the amount of love ofThose around you who was very big. Israel, you have left a wonderful family: a charming woman and wonderful children. “Israel, our man, was not an ordinary person,” his friend Yaakov Yitzhaki told him. “In our long service, I had a great privilege to meet a person in every way. A respectable, respectable man with an exemplary family, pleasant and acceptable to all, with a broad heart and a pure and pure soul. You have experienced many hardships in your short life, but in all of them you fought and won. What a shame, when everything looked good and promising, the damn disease appeared. Everyone knows that you fight to the end and cling to life, which you so loved. “Good is the name of Sheman Tov,” as the sages say, Israel, that your good name will be remembered forever, difficult times have passed, and therapy has been dealt with as usual. These women make a good and pure soul to you, whose days were short, but whose good deeds were many: Accept her, pity her, and establish her new home in the Garden of Eden with the righteous and pure. “
