He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Ashdod. He was survived by a mother and three sisters – Marcel, Miriam, and Hannah. In his letter of condolence to his bereaved family, his commander wrote: “… Shlomi was a model soldier, one of those people who spoke a little and did a great deal. His teacher and mentor, Chaim Ben-Naim, from the Neve Herzog Yeshiva, said to him: “Dear Shlomi, I have taken you to say words of consolation to your family, I know what is difficult for them at this time, In which shame and remission of Hassadim, know that the sons of Abraham is. May it be your will that saving his memory will give you strength to bear the pain. “The Jewish Students Organization in Rome planted a tree in his memory.
