Shuchman, Israel (Isrulik)


Son of Mordechai and Rivka. He was born in Petah Tikva on April 4, 1949. He attended the Neveh Kibush Elementary School and the Amal vocational high school, both in Petach Tikvah, and he was a cheerful and acceptable fellow, and every society had the spirit of life. He maintained a good sense of humor and encouraged his friends: Israel was drafted into the IDF in May 1967 and joined the paratroopers. He excelled as a good soldier and a courageous fighter, who also knew how to take care of his distant family and his girlfriend. (18.11.1969), was killed in battle in the Jordan Valley and was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul and was raised to the rank of sergeant, and his brother told him about his grave and said that he asked Israel why he volunteered for the paratroopers “If everyone says so, we will not be able to defend our country.” The brother added that while Israel’s life in the army had initially been difficult, but his spirit was not diminished, he continued his training with dedication and was an example to his comrades, When we went down to the valley he entered a post of soldiers younger than him and then discovered new features. He became the father of the outpost. He taught the soldiers to use the various weapons and arranged for them to take turns, he reassured them and ordered them to take part in the incidents. He was active in the last month of his life and I think he was also very pleased and Simcha. We regret the fall of Israel, because we have lost a brave and dedicated symbol and a good and loyal friend. But we hope that we all share the belief that Israel did not fall in vain. “
