He began studying in his hometown, successful. A jolly and jolly boy was Jacob. When he was a boy, he was able to read and write in English, for he studied at St. Paul in Bombay. When he immigrated to Israel, and he was eleven years old, she was easily involved with the children at the school in Moshav Matzliah. He was a diligent student and excelled in various sports, and his friends called him “the champion of long jump.” Jacob liked to play soccer and later became an avid fan of Hapoel Tel Aviv, and missed none of her games. When he completed his elementary studies, Jacob was forced to go to work to ease the burden of living that weighed on his parents. The large Tubal family knew days of urgency and Jacob could not bear the sight of poverty. He worked as a construction assistant and carried sacks of cement on his back, but no one heard a word of complaint from him. A smile of encouragement floated on his lips as he came home, after hours of physical exertion. When his skinny back covered wounds and bruises from the loads, he left his job and helped his parents by working the land. Jacob loved manual labor and also helped sell the agricultural produce of moshav Matzliah. During his free time he spent time with his friends, watched soccer and went out to watch movies in Ramle, near his residence. The Tubl family settled in Dimona in 1965. Yaakov was then a young boy, responsible and dedicated to his parents, brothers and sisters. Yaakov was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in May 1965 and trained in the Artillery Corps, where he was trained as a field gunner and known among his friends as a good soldier and a loyal friend, and in June 1967 he participated in battles for the Golan Heights and fought heroically. Yaakov finished his compulsory service and worked as a locksmith at the Kitan Dimona factories, and after a year decided to look for a job at the industrial plants in Be’er Sheva, he completed his studies with a great deal of success: “Yaakov left the house at six in the morning and returned at five afternoon. He worked hard and in the evenings went out with his peers. Father and Mother were proud of him, because they all praised his behavior and noted his good manners. “Each month Jacob gave his parents the wages of his labor, and only a small portion took it upon himself. He explained to his brothers and sisters the material they did not understand, encouraged them to acquire knowledge, and explained that a good education is a ticket to the struggle for life, and he persuaded his family to invest their full energies in their studies, And in the summer of 1974 he decided to marry his girlfriend, a daughter of Be’er Sheva. The wedding day was set for the month of Cheshvan, 5734 (1974), but no one imagined that the wedding ceremony would not take place: On the eve of Yom Kippur the Tubl family was in the synagogue and Yaakov was among the worshipers. Now it’s my turn to go. Do not worry, Mama, everything will be all right, “he told his mother, tears streaming down her cheeks, and Jacob was sent to the southern front and took part in the battles as a translator. ) Yaakov was killed while performing his duties in the area of the “Chinese farm.” At first he was declared missing and his family wished for his return and hoped for a Simcha ending, but at the beginning of November 1973 he was put to rest at the cemetery in Dimona.Followed by a father, mother, four brothers and four sisters. After his fall, he was promoted to corporal. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, the unit commander wrote: “Your son, the late Ya’akov, served in an artillery unit and was dedicated to his job and filled with fear. He was admired by his friends and commanders and loyal to the team spirit. In his fall he bequeathed us life. “
