David was an outstanding student in all fields, humane and non-human, was a graduate of the survey and was among the three outstanding graduates of the high school. His teacher at the elementary school says that he was “a secret pit that does not lose a drop: a thinking student who can develop ideas, draw intelligent conclusions, and do whatever he did, thoroughly and accurately.” His teacher in high school wrote: “He never needed clichés or things written by others as they were, an original thinker who was hesitant, sensitive, curious and bad, who feared for the fate of the individual and shared with him joy and sorrow for the general destiny.” His greatest hobby was reading. He drank thirstily for every book that fell into his hands, whatever his subject. Slowly he bought him books and set up a small library for himself. He participated in various circles, and during his spare time participated in the campaign to eradicate illiteracy and to provide Hebrew language to new immigrants. David was a very alert youth to social, social and political problems. He was kind and loved to help his friends. He was an honest man, a loyal friend, loved and loved by people. He was very observant and respected his parents and had a loyal and dedicated son.
