Schuster, Moshe


Moshe, son of Irena and Shmuel, a Holocaust survivor, was born on 25.7.1950 in Hadera. Moshe attended the “Be’eri” elementary school in Netanya and continued his post-elementary studies in humanities at the Tchernichovsky High School in Netanya. In the summer of 1968, he completed his high school studies, and when he began to study at the school, he was very curious to know and understand the secrets of the world around him: a Simcha and cheerful child, When he found a good word to connect to the trouble, he was always willing to help his fellow in every possible way and was always surrounded by friends and friends who set up their meeting in his home full of joy of life and was a member of the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement, “Moshe was always at the head of the operations, he initiated parties and celebrations, and organized trips and tours. He felt that the members of his small family were in fact the center of his world, he felt a great responsibility for his family – his father, his mother, and his sister – and he helped them with all his might to overcome the ravages of the Holocaust. He was active in the framework of the Gadna and excelled in his activities as a guide in the Gadna-Air clubs, and when he enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces, he was determined to give his military strength to the military unit he served. His friends knew that everything he was told to do would be done impeccably and with exemplary devotion. Moshe was drafted into the IDF in early August 1968, and after completing basic training he joined the Armored Corps and volunteered to serve in one of his excellent reconnaissance units: Moshe completed an Armored Corps course, a sabotage course, infantry officers’ course, etc. Moshele was known as an excellent soldier and outstanding scout. One of his many friends: “I remember one of the trips in the reconnaissance unit. Moshe could not continue because of difficulties walking, the commander ordered him to rest, but Moshele did not give up. He walked on, walked dozens of kilometers with toothbrushes and reached everyone’s destination. Only after that was he taken to hospital. “Moshele’s obstinacy and willingness to carry out the task that was imposed upon him was known to the public, and when he took command of a scout department, he excited his grooms and urged them to new heights. He served in the Armored Corps, took part in the War of Attrition, and in many other well-known operations across the border, and completed his compulsory service as a lieutenant, and when he was released, He wanted to find a job where he could fulfill the lofty values ​​he absorbed in his parents’ home, and was therefore accepted to an X-ray technician’s course at the hospital Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, and completed with great success: “Prof. Moshe Shore, one of the directors of the hospital, notes his greatness, his skill and his credibility. On the run we were quiet and sure that everything was in loyal hands. We knew we had someone to rely on, “says Jenny, who coordinates the X-ray technician course. He was the unifying force, the whole powerful force within us. He radiated heat and wholeness out of him, his absence was also felt by the sick. “Moshele saw in his work at the hospital a mission, a means to realize precious values ​​in practice, and his number one of his educators, who was hospitalized for a while at Meir Hospital in Kfar- “I remember him, a lovely boy, bent over my stomach, murmuring words of affection, and demanding my peace.” One of his subordinates (one of the rabbi’s disciples) adds: Goren): “The late Moshele gave a quiet authority,Authority of security in the justice of his path. I knew him well during our second reserve period. We really liked each other. Despite being free in his opinions and despite all the differences in views between us, I liked him. For many hours we sat together and talked about problems of religion, society and family. Moshe spent a lot of months in the northern region, toured the northern border and fell in love with the landscapes of the Galilee, and Moshe fell during a heavy bombardment on the 13th of Tishrei 5734 (October 9, 1973) While securing tank fueling in the grove of the Golan Heights oil pipeline. Moshe was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Netanya. Survived by father, mother and sister. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved parents, the unit commander wrote: “Moshe served in an armored unit and was an outstanding patrol officer, loved by his soldiers and commanders.”
