His Memory
We supported the expenses of bringing in a Torah scroll and the honorable mitzvah meal.
That brought the family and community together
The book was written with special care, and letters were dedicated to his memory.,
Hundreds of people attended the book launch to pay tribute to his memory.
Yitzhak Zeiger, may his memory be blessed, was 57 years old when he fell, a resident of Shavei Shomron.
Killed in a terrorist attack at a gas station near the town of Ali
On the 20th day of Adar I, 5784 (February 29, 2024)
Yitzhak Zeiger, may his memory be blessed, was murdered in a terrorist attack near the community of Eli while doing what he loved most in life – helping others. Yitzhak picked up the teenager Uria Hartom, may his memory be blessed, in his car, and when they stopped at a gas station, a terrorist opened fire on them. Yitzhak tried to protect Uriah and return fire, but was killed along with him. The terrorist was killed by a reserve soldier who was in the area.
Yitzhak was a man of kindness. His life was devoted to volunteering and giving on a rare scale – in Magen David Adom, ZAKA, United Hatzalah, Ezrat Zion, Yad Sarah, the police, the fire department, and the Chevra Kadisha. He received awards for his medical and security activities in emergency situations, and was known for his modesty and the selfless love with which he operated.
In memory of Yitzhak and in honor of his life filled with kindness, a moving and dignified ceremony was held to bring in a Torah scroll, which became a moment of unity, appreciation, and community remembrance.
The book was written with great care and attention to detail, and every letter in it was dedicated to the memory of his soul. The ceremony was attended by hundreds of participants—family members, friends, volunteers, and colleagues—who came to pay their last respects to a man who had spent his entire life working for others. The event was accompanied by At a festive meal, which connected generations, hearts, and a community that continues to carry Yitzhak's torch forward.
The dedication of the Torah scroll is a living continuation of his work, a sacred path that expresses the values of giving, humility, and responsibility for others that Yitzhak instilled in everyone who knew him.
