Ben Gila and Chaim. He was born in Jerusalem on the 23rd of Tammuz 5763 (23.6.1983). A younger brother to Shira and Yehoshua and an older brother to Hillel and Yonatan. In April 2004, after three and a half years of studying at the yeshiva, Noam enlisted in the Armored Corps in the framework of the Hesder. In December 2004 he went to a tank commanders course. When he was released in November 2005, he took a few months’ break from studying at the yeshiva. During these months he served as a respondent in the Beit Midrash of his high school yeshiva in Mitzpeh Ramon, and then guided tours – in an original and surprising way – at the El Artzi field school in Eilat. He loved the Land of Israel with all his limbs, and believed that hiking was an educational tool of his own, and he began to develop educational methods of hiking, and even began with the few trips he had managed to guide. As well as spiritual and intellectual aspects. “After Pesach 2005 Noam returned to his studies at the” Ayelet Hashachar “yeshiva. He wrote a lot – mostly for himself – thoughts, ideas, designs and soul-searching. In a letter he sent to his mother, he wrote, among other things: “… Most of us feel that our lives succeed in being moral, and after a lot of shaking, we manage to stabilize, we can find our way to apply even a little of our ideals. When you stand for a moment and think about what we dreamed of in adolescence: To correct the whole world, which will be all good, will be ideal, to let the good prevail, not only do not all these things happen; Solution – maximum temporary quiet tense All the moral side of society is deteriorating steadily, the economy is deteriorating, the gap between the layers c Del, the security situation seems hopeless … and worst of all – we have also stopped to breathe in. It is clear to us that there is no chance.And the death of these are the delusions of adolescence. Indeed, man’s situation in the world is: to try not to fall apart despite all the reality from the outside trying to swallow him and lose him in the wars of life, or worse – turn him into a machine that acts on power and lust, like all the rest. … The whole world will never be good. Good will not win – maximum will survive. … and I stand one day in the middle of the prayer, and suddenly he notices the words I say, and I was amazed. I stand and ask in my mouth the irrational: I stand and seek the complete and supreme condition of the people of Israel. … This is what we believe will emerge from this difficult world, all of which will be good. And not just an abstract pink dream, but a defined, real good. And nothing is certain, just as the world is sure to reach his redemption. “On his last birthday, when he was twenty-three years old, Noam became engaged to Sarah, who met with” El Artzi. “They planned to marry on the 17th of Elul 5766, At the beginning of August 2006, Noam was drafted into reserve duty in Order 8 and traveled north to participate in the Second Lebanon War, believing in the IDF and the right of the holy people to defend itself and to sit in its country. After several days of waiting, Noam entered Lebanon in a convoy of tanks, serving as the commander of the company, Major Yotam Lotan. A few hours after the convoy entered Lebanon on August 8, 2006, a missile hit a tank. Noam and Yotam were killed. Noam was brought to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. Survived by parents, sister and three brothers. After his fall, he was promoted to First Sergeant.
