Sharabi, Uriel-Bezalel


Son of Tova and Natan was born on March 6, 1962 in Rehovot, where he was the son of the Yemenite rabbi in his home, and was educated in the home of his parents, In 1979 he joined the “Kiryat Shmona” hesder yeshiva, in recognition of his sense of mission and commitment to help the residents of the city in their struggle against terror and terror imposed by the terrorists on the city Uri, and the rest of the yeshiva students, who considered themselves professional both in the spiritual and military fields, acted in favor of the region in the two years In April 1980, he joined the IDF as part of the hesder yeshiva. He served in the “Sufa” battalion, which belongs to the Barak Brigade, as a liaison officer in the tank. Uriel is considered a professional and devoted soldier, with high physical fitness and full of patriotic and patriotic feeling. He was able to withstand the pressures, is very popular with his friends and is known as an address for help both in the spiritual realm – as in the mysteries of the Talmud and thought – and in the professional military sphere – as in the grips of loading and machine guns. Uriel loved challenges and sought peaks to conquer them. All his short life was full of activity and searching for the pure truth of life. He made his way through life by reading the intellectual material of Jewish philosophy, using rabbis, reading books of thought that deal with the meaning of life, and thus he established the faith that permeated his Lev. In the search for the challenges and the goals he set for himself, there were also physical and adventurous challenges such as his many trips in the Golan Heights, which he knew on almost all of its paths. Bory was much hidden from the open, and especially his modesty was conspicuously conspicuous to all those around him. When the Peace for Galilee War broke out, Uriel was with the force that broke the enemy’s arrays in the western sector. Before the opening of the operation, he always stressed that he had the right to head the intruding force, and promised that they knew and knew all the routes they were going to pass. He advanced along the battle route to Damur, near Beirut. On the fourth day of the war, June 10, 1982, during the break-in to Damur, a Sagger missile hit his tank and Uriel was killed. He was 20 years old. Uriel was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Rehovot, where he left behind his parents, three brothers and two sisters, and Defense Minister Ariel Sharon wrote in a letter of condolence to his family: “Corporal Uriel Sharabi gave his life for his homeland He fell in Damur, Lebanon, a modest man and a scholar who radiated authority and love around him. ” The commander of his unit wrote to his family: “Uriel knew how to combine the Torah studies with his professional pursuits, and he stood out for his strength and full realization that Operation Peace for the Galilee was justified and must be carried out. In all areas, without trying to stand out, because of the humility that characterized him. ” In his name, a Torah library was added to the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva for young people, where he studied. A Torah scroll was added to the Beit Aharon Synagogue in Rehovot, where he prayed.
