Pollack, Joseph

The eldest son of Batya and Yaakov Tzvi, and the first grandson in the family. He was born on May 28, 1980 in Petah Tikva. A fireplace for a container and a pearl. Yossi was already very curious about the world around him. This curiosity grew more and more insatiable over the years. Even as a baby he would never be bored-he drank thirstily for the stories his mother called him, listened eagerly to the words of the grown-ups, enjoyed the sound of the music being played and loved to move and dance. In the following years he began to put together puzzles, and he loved to play the LEGO. He was interested in electrical devices and devices, wanted to see them in action, and to look at all sides of the instrument to examine the wonders of the technique. Yossi was the first of his friends to receive a computer, and was immediately captivated by his charm. A land of unlimited possibilities was revealed to him, and from then on the computer and his games attracted the most attention of his and his friends. Over time, Yossi became a “genius” of computers, and became a “guru” to whom the experts turn to for advice. He kept up with computers, and when he had to buy a more advanced computer and matching accessories, he always managed to convince his parents that it was necessary. Yossi was educated at the “Netzach Yisrael Banim” elementary school in Petach Tikvah, continued to the Kfar Ganim yeshiva in the city and completed his studies at the Tel Aviv Municipal High School in Zeitlin. He is remembered as a charismatic and amusing figure who stood out in his wide knowledge and excelled in all his actions. “His wisdom was for him and not only for himself, but for all those who sought help,” says his teacher, Mordechai Assis, and adds: “The size of his wisdom and wisdom is so great, his modesty is special. To be part of his friends. ” Physics, astronomy, earth exploration, and technological innovations were also among the topics that preoccupied Yossi. He had a strong need to know how our world was built, and he read books about the galaxy, science fiction books, and Jules Verne’s adventure novels. The marvels of technique and computers filled his entire world: he formed airplanes and spacecraft, and staged wars between the spaceships. The Star Trek TV series was addicted, could memorize its chapters, and eagerly read the whole series of Star Trek books in English. In the yearbook he wrote about Yossi: “When he loses in Star Trek, he gets nervous, and the Enterprise Spaceship is his second home,” he said. A place for every person, his friends appreciated the qualities he possessed – the intelligence, the passion for knowledge, the ambition, the diligence, the generosity, the willingness to help and give advice – and always happily, with a smile and a talent to make everyone laugh. I remember most of Mucci: the joie de vivre mixed with his rolling, real laugh. The one who does not pulse an account and drags everyone around him. Do not remember him sad, just do not remember. Always in action. The second thing is his rare kindness. “Sasson added,” Yossi – a friend who was like a brother. There was no doubt that we had a wonderful childhood together, there were laughter and we enjoyed every moment … “Yossi was an exemplary son of his mother, a good brother, devoted and responsible, the source of inspiration for his sisters. . You built us spaceships from a blanket, and the captain – Yossi of course. You taught us to climb lintels, build a snowman on a winter day and snow, and to talk to the dogs, but what touched me was the Memorial Day for the IDF Fallen Soldiers, who went hand in hand to the ceremony at Yad Labanim. That and now, whenThe importance of this day only arises. “Nurse Adi writes about Yossi:” Every time he acted as a leader and took command of what was happening. I always felt he was protecting me. Everywhere I went, he always gave me the feeling that I had back and confidence. I felt that despite his introspection, a warm, caring heart was beating inside him. We always turned to Yossi in times of trouble, and now we are helpless. Every time something goes wrong, the initial urge cries out to Yossi – who knew what caused the Internet to fall, to a DVD to be stuck, to a computer to refuse orders … only Yossi. “Yossi took advantage of every moment of his life with ceaseless activity. And was a gymnast, and for ten years he participated in a swimming section, winning the “Matmid” Medal, and his friends say that he was the “king of baskets” and also a very strong guard: “There was no rebound that he would not jump on suicide attacks and exploit athletic abilities and strength “Yossi also liked to dance, loved the flora and fauna and loved to travel, and his dog Shuki cultivated with love – he would dress him in different clothes, play with him, He was attracted to the green expanses, to wondrous places and to the landscapes of Bereshit, toured the country throughout its activities and trips, and was a member of the National Geographic magazine. At the end of the high school, Yossi applied for reserve studies at Bar-Ilan University, where he studied in the Faculty of Social Sciences in Logistics, Economics and Interdisciplinary Studies. In the summer of 2000, he traveled abroad for the first time to London and Paris, and his close friends with whom he traveled testified that he defined it as one of the most exciting and happy experiences he had in his life. A few years later he traveled in New Zealand and Australia, and was impressed by the magical sights of nature. Yossi was recruited on November 29, 2000, to the IDF Logistics Corps, where he completed a course in Logistics Logistics, continued with a course for commanders and completed an officers’ course.

In 2003, he moved to the logistics unit of the Medical Corps at the Egged UAV base, and after completing his duties, he returned to the Home Front Command and was promoted to Head of the Transport Department at the Equipment Center, where he served in the Logistics Center. In March 2003 he received a certificate of appreciation from the Commander of the Home Front Command, Col. Hovav Tsabari, for his assistance and support to the soldiers of the Northern District during an “Eastern whistle” – a case study conducted by the Home Front Command. Yossi had many friends who he collected in the various life cycles, and with many of them kept in touch until his last days. Colonel Marciano, the commander of the base where he served, wrote about him: “A talented and intelligent person, a professional officer, devoted and loyal – an officer and a gentleman, a person of unusual personality, a loved and loving person with a permanent smile. Improvisation, the projection of joy and a constant smile even in stressful situations. ” Yossi also learned about economics, and liked to hold talks on issues related to investments in the stock exchange, trade and options. He completed his master’s degree in management sciences – organizational behavior at Tel Aviv University and completed in 2007. His graduation certificate did not merit to be seen. This was granted to his parents after his fall at the ceremony of my clientAnd moving in which lines were drawn to his image. Yossi’s last appointment was at the Home Front Command Equipment Center, which was another step in advancing the military route in the Logistics Corps, but his sudden and tragic death from cardiac arrest interrupted his life full of activity, learning and love.

My dear son, a good boy of mine, is comfortable in peace. “His father eulogized him:” … Like Joseph the mythological, you too were a dreamer.

Yossi, you were a smart person, sensitive, modest, shy, you always loved to help others. Your absence is palpable and disturbing to your family and all your friends. We’ll remember you forever. “Batya wrote:” Yossi, you’ll always miss me. You are my beloved son, whom you have given and still give me strength to continue. Mother, who loves you forever. “
