Avraham Gavish

March 28, 2002 - Mar 28, 2002 - Avraham Gavish, 25, of Kedumim, was one of four members of the Gavish family killed in Elon Moreh, when a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the hilltop community near Nablus, burst into their home, and shot them shortly before 9 P.M. Avraham Gavish was visting his family in Elon Moreh during the Passover holiday. He was killed along with his parents Rachel and David Gavish, and his grandfather Yitzhak Kanner.

When the terrorist infiltrated the Gavish home, 2-year-old Darya Gavish broke into tears. Her mother, Na'ama, tried desperately to quiet her and hide her. The terrorist approached the kitchen where the two were hiding. Na'ama put her fingers on the child's lips, and ducked under the table. Their lives were spared. Avraham had called out to throw his weapon from the top floor and as he caught it, the terrorist shot and killed him.

The terrorist continued to shoot from one of the rooms while neighbors and security forces returned fire. Others placed a ladder to allow family members on the top story to escape. The terrorist remained closed up in one of the top-story rooms, until he was shot and killed by security forces.

Avraham Gavish had served as an officer in the elite IDF General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, and had begun studying at Bar-Ilan University. He lived in Kedumim with his wife Na'ama, whom he married three years ago. Na'ama eulogized her husband and promised to take care of their two-year-old daughter Daria, and the baby she is carrying.

"During our navigation training in the Samarian hills, Avraham knew and recognized every hilltop. He walked without a map, and ran on the hilltops as if he got renewed strength. Only then did I realize how much he was attached to these hills," said an army comrade.

Avraham Gavish was buried in Elon Moreh alongside his parents and grandfather. He is survived by his wife Na'ama, his daughter Darya, four brothers and two sisters: Menashe (23), Yeshurun (2), Avigdor, (19), Tzofia (18), Leah (17), and Assaf (14).

Yaakov Mandel

May 9, 2001 - Israel awoke once again this morning to horrific news, this time of the double murder of two 8th-grade boys outside their eastern Gush Etzion community of Tekoa. The two, Kobi Mandell and Yosef Ishran, set off yesterday morning to "clear their heads," in the words of a Tekoa resident; they went to the Haritun area in Tekoa's "back yard," some 300 meters from the most outlying house. They did not inform their parents, and only after dark, when they did not come home from school at the regular time, did searches begin. Their bodies, with severe signs of violence, were found in one of the nearby caves early this morning.

 Haritun is a popular spot for hikers from all over Israel. A classmate of the murdered boys later said, "They told me two days ago that they were planning to go to Haritun; I didn't even think to tell them not to go, because it's a common [place to go]..." Many Tekoa children said they would continue to hike there.

The double funeral set out from Tekoa late this afternoon, and was scheduled to make its first stop at the Gush Etzion intersection, where eulogies were to be delivered. From there, the mourners will part ways: Kobi Mandell will be buried in Kfar Etzion, and Yosef Ishran will be buried in Har HaMenuchot in Jerusalem.

The IDF entered a PA police station near Tekoa this afternoon and arrested over 20 Arab suspects. Palestinians near Tekoa stole a herd of 100 goats from a Jewish shepherd in the area; some of those arrested admitted to stealing the herd. The army has closed off exits from the area, in an attempt to catch the murderers. The preliminary investigation has shown that the boys were murdered yesterday afternoon; the boys fought with their killers, but were overcome and cruelly stoned and stabbed to death.

March 26, 2001 - March 26, 2001 Terrorist gunfire kills one and injures one in Hebron At about 5:00 this afternoon an Arab sniper shot and killed a 10 month old baby girl, Shalhevet Techiya Pass, and wounded her father, Yitzhak Pass, with two bullets in the legs.

The father was treated and evacuated to hospital. The doctors were not able to save the baby.

 

Yom-Hzikaron, is a special day not only because of the soldiers we lost in the wars but also about all the terror victims who were killed from the beginning of the Medina until today. We chose to focus on this part of Yom-Hazikaron because of the relevant of the subject, and the need to understand what really is going on in Israel.

The goal is that the Chanichim will feel part of Am-Yisrael and will understand how big the lost is and how we can help the situation.

# Put the newspaper articles on the floor and ask the Chanichim (you can help them of course) to organize it in a chronological order. Now we can see how the terror attacks cause the I.D.F reaction, explain the Chanichim what going on now in Israel according to the articles you have.

# Ask the chanichim what they heard about Israel on the last few weeks and what they think about it.

# Tell the Chanichim that until today 428 innocent people were killed in terror attacks in Israel – men, women, children, babies. Try to emphesize them how big this number is by        

we know that we can’t talk about each and every one of them so we chose to focus on a few people to see how every person that we lost – we lost a whole world.

# Give every chanich one person to read about and than let them say one or two important things about him/ her (if they can’t read yet, choose a few people and tell the Chanichim about them).

# We can see how innocent people lost their life without doing anything wrong they just were in a Bar- Mitzva or wanted to get home or were on there way to work, etc.

# As we know the situation in Israel now is not so good we feel sorry about those people who were killed just because they are living in their own country- But what can we do about it?

# Put on the floor the notes and read it with the chanichim. Now we can see how we can help even from here, every good thing that we are doing has an influence on Am-Yisrael, that why we all have to try and be better and find things that we can help with. Here we have only a few examples tell the Chanichim to think for a moment and try to find one thing that they can do to help, from the notes or from themselves.

Ask if anyone want to share what he/she decided to do.

# Conclusion: Each and every one of us has the power to make things better, lets try to remember it and do what we decided to help our nation.
