Serodi, Sa’id (Haim)


Ben Munira and Mord. He was born on January 1, 1952 in the city of Tehran, Iran, the fifth child of a family of ten, and when he was eleven years old Sa’id immigrated to Israel with his parents, his six brothers and grandmother, and settled in Kfar Saba. He was educated at the David Remez elementary school and at a vocational high school in Kfar Sava, and in early 1970 Sa’id enlisted in the IDF and was assigned to the Maintenance Corps as a driver truck. In October 1973 he began his long service in the career army. Said spent most of his service in the transport base at Beit Nabala. His friends at the service tell of a unique person, a friend and a partner in every problem, who is entitled to help at any time. They add that many of the soldiers who came from needy families were adopted by Baba Sa’id and were treated favorably. Said was in charge of the dining room at the Ben Ami transportation base. He was described by his commanders against a responsible and dedicated person who stood out for his integrity and his concern for the environment. He had faithfully fulfilled his duty, invested energy and time to promote the foundation, and showed willingness to help and help those around him at all times. In 1981 Sa’id was married to his son Rachel, and the two had eight children – Monica, Mira, Moshe, Rivka, Mordechai, Sarah, Yosef and Chana. Said was one of the pillars of the umbrella organization of the community of Iranian immigrants in Israel, and organized conferences and lectures by the greatest rabbis in Israel, in order to bring the knowledge of the Torah and faith in religion to the public. In addition, Sa’id engaged in voluntary activities, providing secret services to needy families and poor families, rehabilitating families in distress, providing supplies to soldiers in the outposts, and appeasing spouses. Said was an avid fan of Persian music, and because of his great love for music and his immense love for religion and poetry, Said served as a public servant and enjoyed his mission very much. On the forty-fourth Independence Day of the State of Israel, Sa’id won the title of “Outstanding Opponent”. In 1994 his father Morad died, and Sa’id took upon himself the responsibility and assistance to the needy, the elderly and widows. All he wanted was to continue his father’s path and continue his mitzvot and acts of charity. Sayid planned to establish a Beit Midrash in his name immediately after his retirement from the IDF, but his plan was not implemented, and he was surrounded by many friends and acquaintances who loved him and saw him as a brother. He fell in the course of his duty in a car accident that occurred while on his way to the base, on the 20th of Adar 5757 (March 20, 1997), the day of Ta’anit Esther He was succeeded by a widow – Rachel, eight children, a mother, and nine brothers and sisters – Esther, Shein, Eli, Herzl, Hugh Jeff, Mary, Moses, Ilan and Ilana. Letter of condolence to the family unit commander wrote: “Life unit served twenty-six years. His service was impeccable, and he managed to make his mark wherever he came. Haim created a warm and pleasant atmosphere around him, successfully carrying out the tasks entrusted to him, with devotion, responsibility and devotion. His special character was engraved in our memory, and his name was carried even outside the base walls. The unit lost a dear, loving and devoted man. “In a certificate of honor and honor given to him after his fall, it was written:” Chaim saw his service as a mission and carried it with devotion and love. True and devoted, he dedicated himself to increasing the strength of the IDF and cultivating its spirit, while the welfare of the state was in front of his eyes. Deputy Mayor of Kfar Sava, p”Malachi Sharett descended from heaven and took the soul of Said and carried her to the gates of heaven, where Said met his father, whom he had longed for since his death, and they embraced warmly and with love, and Sayid told him about the whole family. Perhaps he did not tell him about the nature of his good deeds, about the Secret Charity he continued to give, about the great energy he invested in the community and about his great involvement in it, and that his entire community remained an orphan without Sa’id, without his strength, energy, initiative or generosity. In the memory of her beloved brother, Ilana wrote the following song, one of the many poems she wrote to him: “The tears are lost in the drift of the waves / Their darkness is whitening at night / And in my dream: Your image / If the dream becomes reality … “In memory of him, his family conducts lectures, and he speaks with a smile, , Commemorative and awakening evenings, held in the synagogue where the family and friends pray. At the base of Beit Nabala, where Sa’id served, an officers’ room was named after him.
