Son of Yitzhak and Devorah. He was born on May 24, 1945 in Kermina, Russia. His family immigrated to Israel in 1949. He studied at the “Ayalon” elementary school (where a class “jumped”) and at the Tel Aviv Municipal High School in Tel Aviv. When he was in high school, he was a member of the Scouts movement. He had two main hobbies: photography and stamp collection. In addition to leisure trips, playing a harmonica and listening to operas, he participated in the high school drama class. After graduating from high school, he began his studies at the Hebrew Technion in Haifa. At the end of August 1963, he was drafted into the IDF and assigned to the Engineering Corps, but continued his studies as part of the academic reserve, and was awarded the first degree (civil engineer) at the age of 21. Upon completion of his studies at the Technion he was sent to Norway and the town. With whom he established friendly relations, and during his military service, Yeshayahu was an excellent soldier and stood out as a model member, and two months after completing his regular army service, he was called up for active reserve duty, on 26.6.1970, He put down a mother and a sister, and the school principal wrote, after his fall, a list in which he said as follows: “Many Remember you and see the glittering blue eyes, smiling lips and flawless outfit. I know that I remember these because it is a symbol of your being, your integrity, your integrity, your love and your pleasant ways. Despite your short life, you are deeply rooted in our school, as a successful student, as an excellent professional, as a person in society and as a volunteer hero. It is the tragedy of the people of Israel that characters like you did not enjoy a life of creativity and peace and the establishment of a home of their own. “The commander of his unit wrote:” I worked extensively with Yeshayahu in daily contact, and all those long conversations that we have still engraved deeply in my memory. It was always his task to contribute to the advancement of the many issues that we are responsible for and to develop, and he devoted much time and thought to new and original ideas that were special to him. In most cases, when faced with unusual problems, I helped him find solutions and was able to be assured that we would find the best way to implement the plans. When we were forced to carry out complex construction work on the Independence Day Parade of 1968, I had no doubt that the task should be entrusted to Isaiah, and he, with his energy, diligence, and devotion, would do it better.You can never forget the wise and orderly Yeshayahu Isaiah, the initiator, the energy and the inner peace, the good, devoted and friendly Yeshayahu, Isaiah in whose name he has always given salvation and good advice to all who need it. ” The Commander of the Command Engineering spoke of the eulogy for Yeshayahu on behalf of his comrades, commanders and subordinates, and said: “I was your commander for almost the entire period of your regular service in the Jordan Valley. The grand parade in Jerusalem in the twentieth year of the State of Israel was one of the largest planning projects in the Central Command, and we saw you in the unit as a versatile and talented officer who was prepared to carry out any mission as an officer who stood on the principles of justice and was not deterred by difficulties on the way. On your subordinates and on the civil servants you were connected to But you have completed your regular service and have already left with your reserve unit for operational missions, you went with your typical vigor and joined with the group of warriors whose price of life allows the Jewish people to live in the State of Israel.”Your comrades in arms carry your memory in your Lev and salute you with respect.” A senior engineering officer wrote to the family: “I had the opportunity to observe the personality of Yeshayahu the officer, as a man and as an engineer. – – – In front of me he looked younger than his age, distinguished by Yaffa character traits. Its handsome shape, orderly appearance and manners created a good atmosphere of personal relationships. He was able to listen patiently and without fear to express his independent and original views and yet he was disciplined and carried out orders and instructions. Although he had no experience in commanding people, he set out to lead them to missions, and in his own way found a common and persuasive language with his subordinates. Yeshayahu was killed in an air attack when he ran to call a soldier for shelter. “The dean of the Technion Graduate School wrote his parents a letter of condolence after they fell, and among other things he mentioned Yeshayahu as a” good student “who had successfully accumulated most of his points for a master’s degree under particularly difficult conditions, In the IDF. ” Indeed, he even prepared a master’s thesis, but unfortunately received the degree after his death. One of his friends wrote to the family: “I met him a few years ago during our service in the IDF – I was impressed by his radiant personality, his pleasant smile and his good qualities. And the Asher family and his military unit, a book in his memory, a corner of his memory (and a picture of him) was dedicated to the Corps of Engineers, and the book “Likutei Sichot” by Kfar Chabad was published in the Shivtei Israel Synagogue in Ramat Gan.
