Some of the obituaries at his funeral My brother, my little brother How do you bury a little brother?? How come one moment I'm holding your hand on the way to the branch and the next moment you're already big and a hero and I can't look after you anymore? Most of the people here know you as Abhi, the mischievous but responsible student in the midrash, the one who did nonsense but also fought for morality and truth and justice even at the cost of punishment from the rabbis, or as Abhi, the dedicated student at the yeshiva in Hebron that you loved so much and sent us all to sit in just before that you got married, or as the high-tech guy who managed to grow within his company without too many fancy titles simply because he is talented, pleasant and ambitious, or as the electrical engineering student who managed to juggle family, two jobs and studies and still graduate as an outstanding. There are also those who know you as the son of, the grandson of, the nephew of, the brother of, but I'm your oldest sister and I'm the one who was there when mom brought you home and I'm the one who used to take you with me to the branch in Pardes Hana hand in hand the whole way and I'm the one who hitchhiked from Hebron to Tel Hashomer to play the guitar for her to cheer her up After and along the way you were so happy to encourage the other patients. I'm the one who saw how much light and goodness you have, how much sensitivity after and I'm the one who was there to see you grow from the very beginning, while I was growing myself, to admire the sweet, comfortable, smiling baby. We grew up to be completely different adults. We had many arguments and even real fights and somehow even though I would talk to you terribly you would always forgive and let go. You just didn't get annoyed and you never looked at me. Once after a big fight, when you just forgave me, I explained to you why I was so angry in advance and you told me "Okay, then next time just say" and I was all excited that you saw beyond my hurt to you that I asked you to never give up on me. My brother, my brother, my little brother who was taller than me in the head and seven times stronger than me and I would still enjoy introducing him as "my little brother", my brother who from a young age was a hero when he didn't even cry when his arm was broken but he did almost cry when he heard of my worsening medical condition and said in frustration "but You do so much good...", my little brother who was the eldest and taught me how to do Poika, where are the fair beaches in the Sea of Galilee, how to live life lightly and with less worries, that we had a tradition of being a common magnet at family events. Our last magnet was the test of an era and there won't be any more and it's unfathomable and heartbreaking. Avichai, my poor little brother, stick to God, purposeful and determined, the sons of wrongdoing, imbued with a desire to destroy, have knocked you down on your watch. If you were asked if you would be willing to fall for the defense of the homeland, you would not hesitate, you would just make sure that there was someone who would take care of those you left behind. I am your older sister, from the moment you were born I felt that you were my responsibility, but you are already grown up and even a father, so why now I failed to take care of you? The loss and pain will take more time to digest, but in the meantime I promise to do everything I can to hold tightly the hands of everyone you left behind. We are not alone, we are with eternity, and we are great believers in redemptive processes that require patience and long-suffering. I want to say to everyone, and also to our enemies: our soul is broken and in pain because we are temples of life but our spirit is strong. With eternity we are not afraid of a long road and alongside the terrible pain we continue to believe in the righteousness of the road and pray to God to give us strength. I wish that our righteous Messiah will come soon and we will come back to see you and breathe deeply. Forgiveness and forgiveness for everything that happened, thank you for every day you were my brother. This is not how I wanted to say goodbye and certainly not now Only Irzi and I were left. I will take care of her and she will take care of me and we will both take care of father and mother, Tal, Talia, Maor and the baby on the way. Give a big hug to grandpa and all our other loved ones up there. I feel sorry for you my little brother, I am very pleased. Love in a way that only those who grew up together can love, Forever bro, I will always remember you And we'll meet at the end, you know... your older sister Faith singing.
