Levitz, Moshe
Son of Menucha and Yaakov, he was born on July 24, 1950 in Tel Aviv, where he graduated from the Ramat-Chen School and spent two years studying at the military boarding school in Haifa. He studied in London for one year and completed his studies at the school “Ankori” in Tel Aviv. Moshe was drafted into the IDF in early February 1969. After basic training, and after completing his courses for general paramedics and combat medics, he was placed as a paramedic in the Golani Brigade. Prior to his discharge from the regular service, Moshe was transferred to the Armored Corps and trained in the tank professions. In early February 1972, Moshe was released from regular service. He participated in the Yom Kippur War and received the Battle Award. Upon completion of his studies, he was hired to work in the Ministry of Defense. Moshe fulfilled his role in the finance department with dedication and skill, while maintaining a friendly relationship with all those around him. As part of his service, he suggested an efficiency proposal that would save the defense establishment a lot of money. His co-workers and superiors recognized and admired his talents and willingness to help the system as best he could. Moshe married, and the couple settled in Tel Aviv. Later they had a son. Moshe was a devoted father and very attached to his family. In the reserve service, Moshe returned to his position as combat medic. On the 7th of Tammuz 5742 (28.6.1982), Corporal Moshe fell while serving and was buried in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul and was raised to the rank of sergeant. He left behind a wife and son, parents, two brothers and a sister. In his letter to the bereaved family, his commander wrote: “Moshe was a good soldier who carried out all his duties as a soldier at any time required.”
