He studied at the “Ner Etzion” religious school in Pajeh, Petah Tikva, and later studied at the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in the village of HaRo’e, where he continued his studies at the Sha’alvim hesder yeshiva, the Merkaz Harav Kook Yeshiva, He was a lover of poetry and chapters of cantillation, wrote many Torah novellae, especially on Chiddushei HaRim – the Rebbe of Gur, zt “l – and the Maharal of Prague . As his father attests, Avner always fulfilled the commandment of honoring a father and mother at all times. He had great human qualities: sincerity, honesty, perseverance, diligence, serenity, the pursuit of charity and kindness and many other virtues. Avner was drafted into the IDF in January 1971 and volunteered for the Armored Corps as part of the “Hesder Yeshiva.” He took part in the Yom Kippur War as a cannon in the tank – across the Suez Canal – or as he wrote in his postcard to his parents – in Goshen and later in Syria. From the battles in a miracle, whole and healthy in body and spirit, thanks to his faith and his trust in God. His friend Rafi said that Avner went in the fields and distributed to his comrades the Pirkei Mishnayot, with the words of Rabbi Pinchas Kehati of blessed memory, in order to teach them how to raise the souls of those who fell in the battle for the sanctity of the people and the land. , Tells about the late Avner, who, in his passionate desire to learn the Torah for its own sake everywhere, at all times, at all times and in all conditions, made a special prayer arrangement for himself in his tank with illumination so as not to cancel even his precious time for studies, ‘Gris in Orita Tadira’. At the end of his military service, he returned to study and later married Yehudit Cohen. In 1976, his first son, Binyamin-Yinon, was born, and a year later, about six months after his death, his second son, Avner-Yekhiya, was born. The family lived in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, and Avner began teaching religious studies at the Neve Etzion school in Beit Vegan, Jerusalem, where Avner was called for a period of active service on the 16th of Shevat. 1977, Avner was killed in the military section of the cemetery on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, leaving behind a wife, two sons, a father, a sister, a grandfather and a grandmother. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, his commander wrote: “Corporal Avner was a favorite of the unit’s soldiers. He always fulfilled his duties with the faith and satisfaction of his commanders. He was known for his diligence in learning Torah at any time of leisure. We knew that Avner prayed and learned even in times of battle. A precious and precious soul was taken from us. We knew him as a modest person, yet he was gifted with dimensions and virtues above and beyond. “His colleague, Shlomo, wrote on the” Yachdav “link of the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in Kfar HaRoe, Air 5737, which was devoted entirely to Avner: In his youth, Avner began to search for the truth, working on his dimensions, the dimensions between man and man and between man and his fellow, his full prayers, his behavior with his friends, not a word of slander, of gossip. To know him, the degree of truth in which he concealed him, and when this righteous man was cut off, we went to his light and saw how great he was and what loss we had lost. “He said. Director of Machon Shvadron during a condolence visit to his home during the shiva, said: “The great and great educators have been lost to religious education in another country.” Rabbi Avner, Rabbi Shimon Zalznik shlit “a, one of the heads of Yeshivat Sha’alvim, wrote in his letter to the parents:” The image of Avner z “l stands before my eyes,I hoped that the late Avner would be one of the righteous men of the world, to whom the Holy One, Blessed be He, cast them upon the world, being cut off from the realm of nobility in all its ways, speech and deeds. I would like to visit your home in Petach Tikvah, wishing to know his way from childhood, how he grew up and was what he was, the happiness of his parents, who were fortunate enough to be born. , Who will give us in exchange for who will fill the space in the Lev, Avner was the only one. “In conclusion, we can say that the late Avner had three strong loves: love of the Creator, love of Israel and love of the Land of Israel.
