Tamarson, Yaniv (Nusi)

Ben Isabella and Roni, brother of Baruch and my father. Was born on November 12, 1984 in Moshav Zippori in the Jezreel Valley, to one of the oldest and most valued families in the community. A smart boy, very sociable and loved, smiling and happy, lively and active. His friends in the moshav called him “Janiv” and described him as “a generous and generous boy, a sweet smile, a bit embarrassed, and hugs like a bear.” All his years Yaniv did at Zippori, but when he was the son of a Tel Avivian father, he had a combination of moshavnik and urban life: Yaniv loved nature and the moshav, and yet he knew how to enjoy the life of the city and the many possibilities it offered. Yaniv was a man of achievement and great ambition, and always strived to reach Top – to the highest point possible. As a gifted child, he was never required for learning and investment; Throughout the years of his studies, first at Nahalal Elementary School, and later at the WIZO Nahalal High School, Yaniv was an outstanding student who “picked” one by one. He was quite opinionated, very sure of himself, and often got into a heated argument with the literature teacher about the nature of the work being analyzed … The successful combination of laughter and seriousness that was in Yaniv gave him a special charm. “I loved your special playfulness and seriousness when it was necessary,” wrote Natan Perry, one of his teachers, “you were a man who loved life and friends. Because of the small age gap between them, Yaniv and his brother Baruch and Avi were very attached to each other, and their relationship was based on mutual respect and great love. The three brothers grew up in one room, and as Baruch describes it, “The best time I remember, three beds in a room with a carpet, only run all day and go wild.” Although each of the brothers had his own private world, the three actually grew up playing in the hay or in the barn of Grandpa and Grandpa hiding and catching, doing lessons together in their joint letter, playing chess they learned from Grandpa. Yaniv also had a warm, close and open relationship with his parents, sharing experiences, and did not hesitate to consult when he needed it. Yaniv’s parents divorced when he was young, and Yaniv, like his brothers, assumed responsibility for helping the mother with household chores and easing the burden. Their father, a regular in the air force, would be seen on the weekends when he returned from his army service, and the missing time was completed on many trips. Baruch recalls the trip to Bar Mitzvah: “In ten days we made Paris and London on foot – Yaniv, as always, led in the head, read about the site we were in and explained to us, looked at the maps and signs, and he determined where to go and what to see. The independence that Yaniv displayed from an early age, as well as the developed economic awareness he discovered, aroused great appreciation for him. Yaniv always worked, and never asked for money from his parents. In his youth, he worked in the cowshed and gardens of the neighbors’ bed-and-breakfasts, and before his enlistment worked in the pizzeria as shift manager. Yaniv also taught in the Bnei Heshuvim youth movement and is considered one of the most popular guides. “The trainees loved you so much. You were admired both as a guide and as a friend who always speaks at eye level and also knows how to be silly when possible.” In between, Yaniv found time to play soccer and basketball, read books, travel and hang out with the guys, listen to music, and enjoy all the good things life has to offer. Yaniv, his father says, and his friends testify, knew how to balance the good and the bad in life, knew how to love, grant and receive, and could cope with the difficult moments, and receive them with love and smiles. And the members of the moshav write: “Janiv, our tenth part, five boys, five girls, some perfect, and you, the oldest of us, have always captivated us with your kindness, simplicity, respect and love.That you knew to give to each of us. Always smiling broadly at each person, always asking for the safety of each one … Remembering and caring for all of us, you always had the fellowship of our little moshav. And every meeting with you inspires us with admiration for diligence, for the combination of study and work at the same time, and for the way you always protected and protected us – the moshav girls. You’ve always been so optimistic and the spark in your eyes is so obvious… “Yaniv graduated with honors, and was already waiting for his army service when his declared ambition was to be chief of staff – no less. However, a disk burst required surgery on his back, and his recruitment was postponed. After his recovery, Yaniv was determined, to his great disappointment, to have a low medical profile, and as a result he was unable to turn to combat service. There were quite a few reasons for Yaniv that enabled him to serve a convenient service, but Yaniv aspired to greatness, and nothing could stop him. Yaniv enlisted in the IDF on October 11, 2004, went to basic training in the IDF, and was assigned to the Ordnance Corps. He graduated cum laude from a number of professional courses, and was appointed to the prestigious role of an anti-tank missile instructor at Training Base 20. Commander: “Very quickly I discovered a soldier with exceptional leadership ability who can sweep everyone into every mission with an amazing sense of humor I have always seen people around you, and you are obviously in the center of things, making sure everyone has a smile on their faces.Yan Yaniv, I liked to give you, especially the most difficult and demanding tasks, because I knew they would be performed in the best possible way, I loved to hear you say, ‘Commander, you have nothing to worry about, everything is small on me,’ and it’s true – everything was small on you … “But even in his prestigious position, Dialect that does not contribute enough, and he is not content him. Determined to achieve the goal, Yaniv did everything to raise his medical profile, and to realize his dream of serving as a soldier in the Armored Corps. His family and friends watched his efforts with considerable pride, and when they looked at him with admiration. Hila wrote: “You were so ‘poisoned’ by the army and interested in contributing to the state, while we all talked about the fact that there is no more power and want to be released …” He completed a course in Battalion 9 and successfully completed a course for tank commanders, and at the end of the course he arrived at Battalion 52, the HaBokim Battalion, and was assigned to Company V and an Empire Striker. Personally, I felt that I had lost one of my good soldiers if not the best, but I was happy for you, because you fulfilled what you always wanted – to be a fighter in the Armored Corps, and if possible To be in the most dangerous place – then even better. “On July 12, 2006, with the kidnapping of First Sergeant Ehud Goldwasser and Rav Sergeant Eldad Regev, and the outbreak of the Second Lebanon War, the 52nd Battalion was immediately deployed to fight in Lebanon, under the command of various units in the sectors, with the characteristics of a raid on Hizballah positions near the border. In an absolute battalion. Brigadier General Guy Kabili, commander of the battalion, writes about Yaniv: “… the urge to take part in the fighting, while the fighters and commanders of the company learned to meet you and fell in love with you quickly. On August 9, 2006, the 52nd Battalion operated in the village of Qantara. During a convoy convoy from the battalion commander in Kantara, a tank collided with a concrete bridge over the road, and the bridge collapsed on the tank. The tank commander, First Sergeant Ron Weinrich, was severely wounded in the back and shoulder. WritingsB. Guy, the battalion commander: “Yaniv, with Ron’s injury, is a show of coolness, serenity, resourcefulness and courage. You acted quickly to move the tank, and then took a central part in his rescue and actually saving Ron’s life, in a threatened area in the heart of Lebanon. “On Friday, August 11, 2006, Yaniv arrived at his mother’s workplace in Tivon for the last time, after five weeks in which he did not receive the command of the team. He had come for a short time, just to say goodbye, before he had visited his wounded commander Ron Weinrich at Rambam Hospital and met friends. On Friday evening, about 7 hours before his fall in the battle, Yaniv telephoned his father to congratulate him on his forty-seventh birthday and explained that he would not be available in the coming days. Ronny was worried and his feelings were hard. “After the conversation I felt something bad would happen,” he recalls. “I understood that he had entered the fighting deep inside Lebanese territory, and even in the days before he entered and left, but this time I had a hard feeling.” Yaniv fell in a battle in the village of Qantara in southern Lebanon on August 12, 2006, when a missile fired by Hezbollah hit the tank that commanded him. It was the birthday of Ronny, his father, himself a bereaved son of a father who fell during his military service in the air force when he was only forty-six years old. “As always I asked him to take care of himself,” Roni said with tears about his last conversation with Yaniv, “and this is the gift I received for my birthday.” Yaniv was laid to rest in the cemetery in Moshav Zippori. He was followed by parents and two brothers. After his fall, he was promoted to First Sergeant. His commander told him at 20 Bahad: “Yes, Yaniv, you wanted to be a hero, and as usual, like everything else, that too. When you came to visit I saw the sparks in your eyes, and with what enthusiasm you talk about armor. You told how hard it was, but as always you said, ‘The commander is too small for me.’ You said that you were satisfied and loved what you were doing, all with a smile and cheerfulness and an indefatigable motivation that characterized only you. You, Yaniv, have managed to excel in all your actions, is there more than that? I’m sure you’re looking down from above and smiling your smile and saying, ‘Commander, what are you confusing, guys, keep going, everything is small, it’ll be all right, you’ll be strong.’ ” Israel on your death, how heroes fell in the war. Yaniv, a real hero, who fought to get to a combat unit, stubbornly and persistently, until he completed a course on tankers, on Friday he received command of a pair of tanks and entered Lebanon, where he did not return. , The brother of Baruch and my father, the grandson of Fruma and Michael (Misha) Lifshitz, a veteran of the Yishuv, and of Miriam and Baruch Tamerson. You had many more ambitions and achievements to realize, but the war cut down your short life … Yaniv, we salute you, may your memory be blessed. ” “I’m standing here – over a friend – a friend lying dead, I’m here, and I see everything, I see everything but I do not understand anything, I’ll lie if I say I’m surprised, because determination, courage and spirit of battle. You tried to think about what we could say to describe you best, so maybe you were one of the only commanders at Bahad 20 who succeeded in making the course shout with pride, ‘Crow of honor’ . Maybe wherever you were, your stomach was always sore and the muscles of your cheek were caught laughing. Or already as a private who had just finished trainingMaybe a whole delegation to Poland enjoyed calling you ‘Nusi’ – thanks, of course, to Mother Isabelle, who made sure to inform all the members of the group, maybe already in the eleventh grade, when they asked you what “You want to be in the army, you answered in a typical Ynivish tone – ‘to be chief of staff’ – we are here, miss you, want you to be here with us. Moshav Zippori dedicated his remarks in memory of Yaniv in issue number two of “Tzippuriton” – the newspaper of the moshav. “… Yaniv – You crossed the border between Israel and Lebanon, crossed the border between a soldier and a man, crossed the boundaries between beauty and ugliness, between joy and joy – to thousands of griefs. – You went to the dark and evil forces, but you took one step too far – you crossed the line between life and death – Yaniv – we cry and hurt. , You have contributed a great deal to everyone, to society … all of these – the talent, the beauty, the courage, the love you received, to take with you … We promise that Yaniv will not be forgotten. We will perpetuate beautiful moments. ” The members of the class wrote: “Janiv … We will not forget your unique sense of humor, your jokes, your diligence and perseverance from such an early age, who showed your almost complete independence, and the ability not only to think and plan, Your best love, your great love for your friends and your seat, and the endless devotion to your family – and especially to your mother – will always remain in our hearts. On Yaniv’s tombstone his family engraved the words “Where are there other people like that man?” Yaniv, who was connected with all his soul to Israel, who loved to travel there and who sacrificed his life for her, is commemorated by an ATV ride held in his memory on Israel Trail, from Karmiel to Eilat. Yaniv is also commemorating the “Derech Eretz” project – a three-day journey to commemorate five members of the Jezreel Valley who fell during the Second Lebanon War.
