Zack, Tzahi


Was born on December 10, 1961 in Kiryat Bialik, where he studied at the “Habonim” elementary school in the “Dafna” junior high school – the “ORT” educational complex in his home. In the Kfar Galim youth village near Haifa, in agriculture, Tzahi was a strong, blond boy with blue eyes and a smile of kindness, always cheerful and lively, and was a member of the Mahanot Ha’olim youth movement, first as a trainee, And as a camp center, and twice a week Tzahi would come to the Kiryat Galim campus to train his students, who remember those years as the most Yaffa time in the movement. Tzachi was also an active player in the Maccabi Kiryat Bialik youth group until he was drafted in. In 1979, Tzachi was elected as the “fair player” of the team and was given a special shield, and today the soccer team is named after Maccabi Tzachi. In Kfar Galim, Tzachi was chosen for an outstanding student of social activity and work in the agricultural sector, and since his fall, the outstanding trainee was named after him and every year at the award ceremony, things are said about his character. Tzachi volunteered for the Civil Guard in the Kirya and in Kfar Galim, and was careful to keep both places. Once a week, he volunteered for help in a hospital in Haifa. Tzachi loved agriculture very much and specialized in bananas. For two years he kept a detailed diary of his work. The diary was sent to the Faculty of Agriculture of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dr. Amos Dreyfus of the department wrote: “This journal, which was edited by Tzachi Zack, served as a tool for the preparation of a special journal for research purposes. You must know that Tzachi Zack’s work was done with great effort, with great effort and remarkable talent. From reading the diary it becomes clear to everyone that your son loved his work in Kfar Galim and was very devoted to it. “On the eve of his induction into the IDF, Tzachi was invited to serve in an elite unit. He said, “Like a trip by the movement, with a song in the Lev.” In July 1980, he joined the IDF and served in the Paratroopers’ Paratroopers Brigade. On August 6, 1981, he participated in a unit exercise in the area of ​​Kfar Hayarok, near Ramat Hasharon, to rescue hostages. After the exercise, Tzahi drove toward his base. Near the Glilot junction, the door of the truck opened and he was taken to the hospital. For five days, the doctors worked to save his life, and on August 11, 1981 Tzachi died of his wounds. He was 19 years old when he died. Tzachi was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa. He left behind his parents, Ah-Tal and three sisters – Liron, Dafna and Yael. After his fall, he was promoted to the rank of corporal and his unit commander wrote in a letter of condolence to his family: “Tzachi was a soldier, a fighter and a brother to a model weapon. He had the dimensions and the stature of a leader. His qualities stood out along the way, even at times of great difficulty and pressure, pushed his friends, encouraged them and helped them against any difficulty. He loved the unit and his friends and was loved by them. His character as a youth educator, a lover of Israel, an outstanding soldier, a loyal friend, a brother in arms, a mentor and a leader – constitute in his life and death an example of the IDF and the entire nation. ” In my letters of condolence, written to his family, friends, teachers, counselors, students and friends, the image of Tzachi emerges. They wrote: “Tzachi bought his social status thanks to his honesty and diligence, because he is a natural leader from birth, and in society and work he is always the first and foremost. , Was able to see the beauty and humanity of Adam, a man like Tzachi, who felt that he was indeed goodHe is human and should be believed. In Tzachi we found altruism, support, help and encouragement. First volunteers are responsible and loyal without limit. He had the power to operate the company and to pick up each operation with great success. He acts with justice and absolute honesty. Dedicated to family, friends and all people. Loyal to the homeland and the people of Israel out of internal recognition. Tzachi loved everyone and everyone loved him. “
