Nisenzweig, Shahar

Mazal and Moshe. Was born on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, September 28, 1970 in Holon, the eldest son of a family of three. At the age of two Shahar moved with his family to Acre, where he spent his entire life. Shahar studied at the Ben-Zvi elementary school and in the electronics course at the ORT Darsky School. He was an outstanding student in electronics and computers. Already in his childhood he was discovered to have great talent and love for music, especially classical music. In the second grade he began to play the piano, and later specialized in basson, and was a musician in the municipal youth orchestra. Shahar completed his studies with great success and joined the IDF in October 1988. After deliberating between the IDF orchestra and the technical field, he chose the second one, but in his spare time he always returned to the music. Shahar played with the Technion Orchestra under the supervision of Prof. Dalia Atlas and the Kibbutz Orchestra. He spent most of his service as an electronics and computer instructor at the Air Force Technical School. After completing his regular army service, he signed a permanent army service, which he was supposed to finish at the end of 1995. Both his commanders and his unit members say he was intellectually intelligent, sensitive and introverted. As a guide and commander, he stood out. He was thorough and devoted, with a developed sense of criticism, and excelled in every task he was assigned. In addition to military service, Shahar studied accounting at the University of Haifa and was an outstanding student. Subsequently, began to study part-time consulting and investment at the College of Management. He is always happy to share his knowledge and talents in the field of business and the stock exchange with anyone who needs good advice on the subject. “His word was worth gold,” his friends say. Shahar fell during his service on 27.5.1994. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Nahariya. He was twenty-four years old when he fell. Survived by his parents, brother – Amir and sister – Odya. After his death, his friend Galit wrote about him: “… It is no wonder that, above all, the love of dinosaurs was of a size that matched your approach to life … You were a dinosaur with your intelligence and sharp mind, huge in appearance and refined …” The unit commander said: “Shahar was the mainstay of the unit with the confidence he projected to his colleagues and subordinates, who had a personal level and a high ability, whose excellence and professionalism characterized his functioning as a guide all along.”
