Menachem, Menachem


Ben Hannah and Benjamin. Born and raised in Elkana, where he began his studies in the first grade, he moved to the Kiryat Herzog preparatory program in Kfar Saba after graduating. After three years of study, he chose to study in the 10th grade at Hespein High School, and despite his distance from Elkana, he received his parents’ consent, and his progress in studies and fear of heaven was evident from the 11th grade. At the end of his studies at Yeshivat Heispin, he decided to join the hesder yeshiva in Atheniel, in order to enlarge and enlighten Torah. Due to his parents’ concern over the deteriorating security situation, he undertook to maintain daily telephone contact with the house. And so he did, as he was careful to keep up with all the commitments he had taken upon himself. Noam was a very sensitive child for the needs of others, from his parents, his grandparents, his sister, his friends, his teachers and his teachers to his volunteer work within the ILAN. In his meeting with Otniel, he focused on the integration of God’s work in various areas of life, a focus of learning from different perspectives. His beloved brother-in-law, Gadi Feishentt, was killed in a traffic accident at the Nesher junction near Ramle, and was severely beaten by his writings and drawings found after the fall After the disaster, Noam made sure to divide his time between the home of his sister Efrat and her children, his parents’ home and the yeshiva, which was so precious to him, and he served as an adult brother for games, “Noam came.” Today he can say: “Father in the sky,” “Noam in the sky.” In April 2002, Noam enlisted in the IDF, the Armored Corps, and passed all The training with dedication, love and joy, as required to train him as a cannon in a tank. On the Shabbat of the Tetzaveh affair, on February 15, 2003, Noam fell in combat near Dugit in the Gaza Strip, when his tank mounted a powerful explosive charge. Staff Sergeant Doron Cohen, Staff Sergeant Itai Mizrachi and Staff Sergeant Alexei Blitzky – a whole mosaic of the Jewish people – were killed in the military cemetery in Petah Tikva, where he was only twenty years old. After his death, his parents found among his books letters he wrote to himself, in which he expressed many thoughts about his personal virtues as part of the general redemption of the Jewish people, which is gradually approaching, and that it will be His contribution to its “faster” advancement, as a “momentary test.” In his writings Noam presents his dilemmas between the importance of military service and the influence And the time to devote to each of these areas of life, so that Noam saw the sanctification of God in his life and thus fulfilled his death as well.The last Talmudic issue that dealt with it when he was on leave from the army was found in his computer file, “I loved the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul.” Noam emphasized the sentence “even taking your life” as part of Rabbi Akiva’s belief and world view: “All my life I have been sorry, when will this commandment come to me and be fulfilled?” His family and his friends, grieving and hurting his sudden departure, which cut short the poetry of his life and his high future aspirations A. The spaceThe great will be able to fulfill, even if only slightly, the fulfillment of Noam’s will and legacy: to continue his path toward shaping a better Jewish society.In the commemoration of Noam, the book “Banam Shiach” was published, in which the family wishes to commemorate his legacy. “Journey to Life: Journey to Poland (March 1999)”: “The ceremony in the Zvolitovsk-Gora Forest near Tarnow, There is a mass grave of the 800 children of Tarnow who perished in one night, it was very exciting, it’s hard to part from a place like this, but it’s hard to do, but it’s definitely one of the hardest places. The experience is very difficult, and the future conclusion is decisive: to get closer and closer to my four dear nephews, without nonsense or harassment, and the experience was difficult and even took time to get out on the bus, as opposed to every time. This time much more sharply. ” “This is the day of my first soul searching in the army. Yes, I am a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, all of whom rely on him, and he is the one who will ultimately fight against the terrorists or against the enemy army, and God will give the strength to defeat and defeat. In such a complicated situation as we are in our country, so many dead, we must pray to God that he will truly give us strength and strength, but nevertheless – wisdom, understanding and understanding for our leaders, and thus lead the nation for the best. Brothers, friends, friends, friends, friends, friends, friends, friends. The army encounters many difficult things and the whining is liable to increase. You have to pay more attention to the smallest whining, because such a thing can ruin any good part. We do not have much time to study, even though we want to take advantage of every free moment to open a book, so it is necessary to serve Gd in a simpler and different way than in a yeshiva, To keep a prayer in public and out of the arrangement, no matter how tired, stop until properly directed, and whether it is at every free moment during breaks – to open a book and study. In a meeting with non-religious people, and whether it is between a person and a place – that there is always a need to ascend. And serve the Lord in the army as in a yeshiva, for example: prayers in public in poetry and intention, regular and serious study, the army by its very strength increases the inner feelings of power and power, and this is expressed outwardly, whether by beatings or other violence. To stop immediately and accept the powers that the army contains and to direct them toward the worship of God, for it is he who gives the courage and power to all.It is not clear how the leaders of the nation should act: whether by way of concession or by war. We will not solve the problem within ourselves. In the words of our rabbis – that the entire war is for the sake of finding a solution within us. Let us know what we are fighting, what we believe in and then God will give the solution for granted, as if he stood here all the time. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen and internalize ourselves, and then to convey this to the entire Jewish people not out of pride but out of a desire to give and appreciate. “At the beginning of the terrible day, I felt that I had been through three weeks when I was supposed to enter slowly and gradually into the fatherThe terrible destruction of our Holy Temple in a proper manner, but these were normal days for everything. On the other hand, as soon as I arrived at the synagogue I felt the feeling of mourning. Just as during the entire week we work with a great deal of materiality and there is no time for spirituality, and then comes a holy Shabbos that is completely spiritual. One can not help but feel the same way. This mourning became more acute when I felt similar mourning and feeling similar to the time when we sat shiva on our beloved Gadi, and here too, we sat on the floor and wept and told all the terrible things that happened to us, and this year, unfortunately, the general mourning was much clearer and connected to me personally. During the seventeenth of Tammuz I conducted a soul-searching account and raised a number of points for improvement, and there was definitely a feeling and a desire to improve both the prayers and the spiritual holy work that can be done in the daily life of the army as well. The soul-searching I am editing now I think I must overcome and strengthen and grasp And raise these points that I must overcome during the three weeks and approach God, and these will turn into a better future, in which I will be able to ascend and thus bring closer the building of our Holy Temple and our redemption. I have found a number of points: First, which is very general and very clear is rebellion against the words of the Almighty Merida can be a rebellion against the Torah, a rebellion against the leadership of the Holy One, blessed be He, God. In this context it is necessary to maintain the leadership of grammar in every detail of the Torah. The second thing is the sin of security in the nations, and in my humble opinion we are talking about God’s insecurity, and we must rely on God not to try to find creative solutions that are contrary to the Torah, but to rely on our Father in Heaven. Other things that came up when I walked on the Book of Lamentations – false prophets and falsehood. The problem that bothers me is what will happen after Tisha B’Av. It may be that we mourned, it may be that we cried for the destruction, but at the end of the terrible day we will return to routine. In this matter, I think now that Gadi does not go to Efrat from his head, or to anyone else who knew him, and yet Efrat and all of us hurt inward and function outwardly, so maybe we should act in the context of the destruction. In other words, we must return to our routines and take care of all our errors and failures and strive to strengthen them, while remembering and acting on the small things in the broad sense. In other words, to correct and act on the small things that are routine in the broad sense of the approach to redemption and the building of our Holy Temple. For example, to be in the army and cope with the falls and minor repairs, with the understanding that I am in the army, and later in the yeshiva, while I am on the Beinish route – as part of self-correction and the world towards the building of our holy house and our complete redemption. Perhaps these things sound explosive and far away, but I still hope and believe that these things will be within me and within the entire nation of Israel. That we will merit the complete redemption and the building of our holy house and our glory, in which we will be able to serve Gd out of devotion, fear and love. “Words written following the murder of Rabbi Avi Sabag, And on Tisha B’Av 5762, that it was really a long time ago, because the army transmits power and strength, and in order to write such things and conduct soul-searching, there is a need for calm and gentleness. As a result, much more gentle soul work is needed, perhaps by writing more about the inner things that pass through me, and sometimes by conducting soul-searchingMore often. When I go over what I wrote earlier, I see some progress in some of them. I also think that things have improved with regard to accepting things, that everything that comes to us even if it looks difficult will eventually pass, no matter what form it will go through, and therefore it should be delivered in the best possible way. And indeed, even when it seems difficult, and perhaps especially then, it must be seen as God’s will, and in any case it becomes a light thing. I am returning from seven at the Hoter family because of the passing of the angel Gavriel Hy “d and seven of the Apter family because of the demise of the hero Noam Hy” d, with whom also Yehuda Bamberger and Zvika Ziman were murdered. On Saturday night we went to Noam’s funeral, and I felt that I had left behind reinforced, especially after his father’s words, after a week in which they tried to be connected to a yeshiva by means of straw When I entered the Apter family home in Shiloh, I felt that everything was coming back, and the whole period of Gadi’s “shiva” returned, the same density, the same feelings, and again the fear struck me. Later, when I got home, I opened what I wrote on Ta’anit Esther 5762 on Gadi and apparently things are the same, but it seems that they have changed since then, and at the same time there are things that need strengthening at this time. One of them, the belief: ‘We have a father. Father continues with us, but you do not see him. ‘ Gadi continues to be with us and keeps the family from above, and his spirit continues to be among us. In this context, in the Hotar family in Kfar Adumim, one Talmud Torah scholar said something that also belongs to Gadi: “The best memory of the dead is the living memory, the things we took from the deceased continue to exist in our world.” If it’s about Gadi-his calmness and serenity. In this context, Noam Apter has often been involved in bringing distant people through the Center for Jewish Awareness in Otniel together with Elad Izbutzky and good people from the yeshiva. This is one of the messages that are trying to move on, even though Noam left us. I feel that I have a significant part in it, which is connected to the company in which I serve. I was so shocked to see the alienation of the gentiles who serve in the Israel Defense Forces, yes Israel. I feel a very strong need to connect them to that true and high Judaism, not one that broadcasts in the media. Perhaps I will succeed in doing so in the way of Noam Hy “d, but those things that were written at the time should be a cornerstone for things that happen so often,” There is a strange situation in which I can not find the right relationship between the situation in the country – where every day People are being killed, and the personal situation in which I too have trouble. We get into a state of indifference when people are killed every day, and this is not just an incident, but blood, soul, destroyed families, an entire country that does not function in order to prevent it. Every person killed – the whole country is destroyed. I can not find the right relationship between the general plight of the people of Israel and my own, my family. Maybe if we manage to internalize the fact that Gadi is with us at every stage, even though he is invisible, we can cry and grieve and not be indifferent to the blood that has been spilled in our country. Also try to influence more, try to correct … that such a situation can either rise high or fall low. Rabbi Re’em said that there is a spiritual aspect in the “return to routine” beyond the psychological aspect, and we are in the world of correction for ourselves and for all the people of Israel. The family members write: “Noam’s memory lives among usGrowing from him and with him. “
