His army friends knew him as Guy. He was a quiet, introverted soldier, had a parachuting course and was proud of his way as a parachutist and a red cap. Guy had a special personality. Believing in God took a central place in his life and thanks to him he saw the positive side of everything. He organized his guard duty so that he could attend prayers and tried to pray in the synagogue in Givat Haharsina, in the Hebron area. On the 28th of Nissan 5757 (April 28, 1997), as he was walking near the roadside, on his way back from the synagogue in Givat Haharsina, Zaki was killed by a civilian bus. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Rishon Letzion. He was nineteen when he fell. Survived by his parents, brother and sister. After his death he was promoted to sergeant. As he made his final way from the synagogue, he hummed the song of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev: “Every man has his own tune,” and this sentence is inscribed on his tombstone. His memory was immortalized by the donation of a Torah library to the Or Mizion synagogue in Rishon Letzion, and by the donation of a huge wall clock to the synagogue in Tzrifin. His memory was also commemorated in the Great Synagogue in Rishon Letzion where he used to pray with his maternal grandfather, David, on every vacation from the army. This commemoration includes Torah scrolls during prayer for the holidays and on weekdays, and prayer arrangements donated by a worshiper who knew them from the synagogue.
