Son of Hanna and Avner. He was born in Misgav Ladakh Hospital in Jerusalem on February 15, 1979, a younger brother to Benjamin-Chai, Alon and Doron. Black-eyed, handsome and smiling. As a baby, he cried little and was Simcha and comfortable. From the time he was born, he had no need for every effort to attract attention and contact. He was a calm and relaxed child with peace of mind and contentment and was always a natural attraction. His fondness for cars and airplanes, which he loved to disassemble and reassemble, was his favorite for the family soccer games, with his father and older brothers, who became a common and permanent way of recreation, and part of the family experience. He began his studies at the Henrietta Szold elementary school in Jerusalem. Shavei was a good student, smart and quick-paced. He did middle school and high school in a third urban education school in the electricity track, where he was willing to work hard and stick to things that really interested him and were important to him. Here, too, he became a social focus, a favorite of his friends, the teachers, and the principal of the school. He often served as a mediator in solving problems between his classmates and the school administration, acting as a politician in every respect. Shavey was an outstanding athlete. He especially liked playing ball games and being very tall and slim, he even played for two years in the Hapoel Jerusalem basketball team. Shavey was a fan of the team and did not miss a game. He was Simcha and cheerful when they won, sad and angry at losses. Another recreation place that was loved by Shavei was the community club in Emek Refaim, where he and his brother Doron moved to the Matzim course (which he graduated with honors), and both became young counselors at the community center. To love, he understood love as the giving of all the Lev, with all his Lev and without reservation, and this was a characteristic character in his personality – that was how he behaved with his grandparents after being injured in a road accident and needing help and support, sensitivity and consideration, Matanel, with whom he sailed and played with patience and love, thus helping everyone who asked for it from him, creating a sense of security and trust around him. Know living, he was a Kurdish family, and loved to connect to its roots. Loved to listen to the songs of the community, and family celebrations was the first leading traditional dance circles, tall and Yaffa, sweeping everyone dancing and rejoicing. In July 1997 he joined captured by the IDF. He wanted to serve as a combat soldier in the Border Police, and he made a great effort to get into the army, but he could not. As a graduate of a vocational school, he was placed in the Ordnance Corps and took a course in car electrical engineering. When the time came for his first ‘regular’ vacation from the IDF, he and his brother Doron, who was also a soldier in compulsory service, planned a joint vacation, which they set out together on January 8.18998, He was buried at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, and left behind his parents and three brothers: “When I think of you, it hurts me so much. To know that there is no other person like you in this world. That there is no other person in this world who can make people smile Simcha, as you did to everyone around you and around you. I have not seen anyone who has been loved and admired by so many people, and even in such a short lifetime – not even nineteen years. “Doron, Shavey’s brother, writes to his beloved brother:” My family – what a wonderful family / / I have a family that is really a legend, / I received a sister-in-law like my parents, / My parents are really special, / They came to us like angels / / I do not even want to talk about my brothers /But suddenly my little brother decided that he wanted to protect my family from above, so he went without saying a word. Wrote in a letter of condolence to the family: “Shabtai, of blessed memory, served as an apprentice in the armaments school, which belongs to the IDF’s technology and logistics division. He was described by his commanders as a responsible soldier, who performed his duties in the best possible way, demonstrating a high level of professionalism. “The commander of the base, Colonel Zechariah, wrote to the family:” Shabtai was the mainstay in the social sphere of the course, stood out in his special sense of humor and raised his morale among his fellow members, while showing great responsibility for his actions And projected leadership skills. ” His father writes: “Shaveh, our youngest son, the youngest of all, but the greatest of all, is of his highest rank – tall and thin, strong and Yaffa, and in his spiritual and spiritual level – in his kindness and innocence, in his warmth and in the love he has given to all around him.
