Moti was drafted in early August 1963, the Air Force wanted to volunteer and dedicate his life to aviation. However, this did not succeed, and so he found himself an armament in the Armored Corps. Thanks to the technical profession he acquired, and especially thanks to the mental forces that were discovered there, he took his place in the Armored Corps. In the Six Day War, he fought as a deputy commander of a tank company in the Battle of the Golan Heights, after he insisted on receiving a combat position. He underwent a serious operation on his back, and although he was in a cast for a long time, he did not complain. His Lev was in his new love, which had grown in his days of service-the love of armored steel. After being confined to the hospital, he began to develop armor. He took advantage of the vast technical knowledge he had acquired and invested heavily in the development and publication of training manuals that were put into use in the IDF, and he was the happiest man when his medical limitations were removed and he was allowed to return to the tanks and field.

He was laid to rest in the cemetery in Be’er Tuvia. “Even though I worked with Moti in the same command, I can not say that I knew him very closely because he spent most of his time in the field of responsibility, Who, as a young man, was radiant of his personality, a person who stood out in his devotion, in his mission, full of ideals, full of joy and always cheerful, with warm kindness on his face, glowing eyes, a great rule that our Sages said: “At the time of Adam’s death, Neither money nor gold nor precious stones and gems, but Torah and good deeds alone (Ethics of the Fathers) And in the course of his life he knew how to distinguish between the passerby and the eternal, and now he went to His world is accompanied by good deeds, exemplary acts of volunteerism, sacrifice and devotion, for the sake of Israel’s security, and acts of kindness and friendship for the sake of his many good friends. He does not leave behind gold and silver, because he did not aspire to it, but he does”One of the commanders wrote in a letter of condolence to his mother that on that night that he fell on the banks of the canal Mordecai was in charge of carrying out an important operational operation, and another commander wrote that he was involved in the development of a subject, In the end, he said: “Your family lost a son and I lost a friend and brother.” Moshav Beer Tuvia published his statement “A Leaf to a Friend” for the “shiva” day for his fall, on the day of the “thirty” Memories and stories about Mordecai the man, the evil, and the officer.
