On the other hand, a shy smile is always on his face, two dimples, an amazing flush in brown cheeks and a captivating look. It is written in Tehillim 23: 3. Indeed, Roi was a friendly and loved child for all who knew him, and he was able to form deep friendships, alongside a developed social life with dozens of friends and with He was a child who knew how to be his mother’s favorite son, but also her boyfriend, who was able to share stories and experiences and share with his mother his connections with his close friends and friends, His parents and his entire family In November 1999 Roi enlisted in the IDF. In the plain of the text of Tehillim 23: 4, “Even if I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, for you are with me, your tribe and your support are my comforters.” He chose to enlist in a combat unit and began the path of the infantry warrior. He soon turned out to be an outstanding soldier, and at the end of the route he received, in appreciation, the cap of the platoon commander. Roi’s friends told Roi Tal the poison: “Your poison, motivation, professionalism and fighting spirit sweep the entire department with you. , So you are undoubtedly one of the people who helped the department get where it is, and for this we thank you … If there is someone who will replace Nir (the platoon commander) and lead us to battle, of course it’s you. ” In Roy’s room, in his small bureau, Uri Ben-Ari’s book “After Me” is regularly found: “The essence of the military leadership is expressed when the force is under fire, and the commander roars forward! With him and galloping forward into the fire to the target, and the word “after” is the main challenge for the leader and his leadership. On April 4, 2002, Roy fell in a battle in Jenin during Operation Defensive Shield. A personal citation given to Roi after his death by Brigadier General Udi, commander of the ‘Steel Formation’, ‘on the realization of the values ​​of courage, evil, devotion and determination to save lives’ In the course of the exchange of fire, one of the fighters was seriously wounded by a force of the battalion, which included Roi and another force, and the force reached a shelter in the back wall of the house where the wounded man was located. The rescue forces wanted to reach him as quickly as possible, and all the while exchanges of fire continued in the alley across the house, at which point Roi detached himself from the force, God and darted forward, under fire, to the alley and shooting from the intent to eliminate the terrorists and reach the injured.

Roy knows that even in your death you were full of life and movement, and perhaps this is the power of self-sacrifice, which empowers all human forces to the fullest. ” The family wrote in the memory of Roi: “My Roi, you know that your death did not take everything with you, because you left us with a way to teach us values ​​of the good and the beautiful in our lives, the sanctity of life, And even if a bird has fallen, it has no help, you have also helped, and above all, respect for your father, mother and brothers, and also to tell your friends the way you went, and you paid for it in your life … Roi, in your short life, you knew how to exhaust life as much as possible. Happiness is a way, not a fate: You have to work as if you do not need money, you have to love as if they never hurt you, you have to dance like no one sees you … Roy, Gd gave you the tools, you chose how to use them and how to live Roy, a pure soul, people may forget what you said, and perhaps forget what you did, but people will not forget what you made them feel … In Tehillim 23: 5, it is written, “Prepare yourself before a table against my adversaries. You smoked with the main oil, my glass saturation. But good and kindness shall haunt me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for a long time. ‘ Roi was picked from us prematurely, but in his short life he managed to leave each of us an example of the beautiful life of a child who loves family and others, of peace and faith in his peaceful and safe way of life. Roi went out to defend the homeland with his head up and his back erect, full of faith in his path and values.
