He was born in a small town in Moldova in 1979 and immigrated to Israel at age two out of pure Zionism. He grew up in Bat Yam, working from a young age to support himself, and served proudly in the IDF. In 2004, he married his wife, and they raised four wonderful children in Ma’alot. He was a deeply involved father who filled his home with song and laughter, working tirelessly to build a home of their own. He graduated with honors in Economics from a university in central Israel and, in 2019, fulfilled his lifelong dream by joining the Israel Police, serving with distinction in the procurement division. In August 2023, they finally moved into their dream home in Ma’alot. On October 6th, he went to secure the Nova Festival in the Gaza envelope. On the morning of October 7th, amid the rocket barrage, he called his family to ensure they were safe in their MAMAD, told them he loved them, and went out to save the children at the party. He and his fellow officers stood on the absolute front line. Despite being shot in the leg, he killed several terrorists, bought critical time, and evacuated wounded partygoers, saving countless lives before falling at age 43.
