Tal (Teitler), Zvi

Son of Shimon and Hinda. He was born on August 9, 1931 in Bukovina, Romania. He began to study in an elementary school in Romania, but at that time World War II broke out and the family was forced to leave the house and set out on a journey through Romania and Russia. On the way the parents died and Zvi and his brother were placed in a children’s home. In 1944 he immigrated to Israel with a group of children who came from Transdnistria and were all survivors of the Holocaust. When he arrived in Israel, he was placed in an “aliyah” institution in Petah Tikva and soon became fond of his friends and teachers. He was honest in all his ways and innocent in his ways. His smile was forgiving, and in this he would transcend and raise the others from all the bitterness that had come over them. Zvi stood out among his friends with his dedication and loyalty. He was one of the founders of the metalwork shop in the institute and loved the job as much as he loved the studies. There is no doubt that this devotion and loyalty led him to serve in the navy. He was drafted into the IDF in February 1948, when he was 17. He and his comrades were among the first IDF soldiers. At first he went with his friends to Sde Eliyahu in the Palmach class and then went to battle in the valley and the Galilee, after which Zvi participated in the Battle of Latrun on the way to Jerusalem, and joined the Shimshon Shimshon and was one of the last defenders of Kibbutz Yad Mordechai. He was a loyal husband, and his three children were a devoted father, and he was Simcha to go out with his family in the wild, and after the War of Independence he moved to the Navy and served in the Turf squadron, He was one of the first divers, and in 1960 was ordained as a diver, and was therefore the oldest member of the submarine squadron. He was very devoted to his work and was an excellent electrician, raising a whole generation of submarine electricians, helping his subordinates to advance to work and sending them to courses of progress, an ordinary man with sound sense and cold calculation on the one hand, His service in the submarines was a kind of combination of mission and important job, and he was an Israeli figure of a diver, and he was different from another fighter in the army, because he was a highly skilled fighter who knew how to deal with responsibility and dedication in the expensive and complicated equipment in the submarine And it was necessary to ensure that the equipment was ready and ready for its purpose despite the shaking And Sarotio. In 1958 he had the opportunity to switch to beach jobs for enormous back pains, but he overcame them and refused to do so and continued his service at sea. He was sent to England and attached to the Dakar team. “He was a sailor on ships, doing work in many waters, who believed in the great power inherent in the submarine arm and its possibilities to confront and subdue the enemy.” As the commander of the navy wrote in a letter of condolences to the family after he had descended with the submarine. One day, on the 24th of Tevet 5728 (January 25, 1968), when “Dakar” was on the sea route between Gibraltar and the port of the house, the connection with her was cut off and was not renewed. The Chief Military Rabbinate determined that the date of Zvi’s passing, in the course of his duties together with the rest, was on January 30, 1968. He left a wife and three children. Since Tzvi was among the missing team members, a memorial monument was placed inside him in the memorial to the Dakar people in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. In Eran Shorer’s book “Six Days in Decker” a list was presented about him with his picture. In the book “The Trees which were Shornged” by the residents of Kiryat Haim, several pages were dedicated to his memory. On the 28th of June 1999, after years of searching, the INS Dakar submarine was found on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 2,900 meters on its planned sailing route and 250 miles from the port of Haifa. A space whose burial place is unknown.
