Here, Maoz Farm Will Rise

Maoz was a man of truth. Principled, a professional in everything he did - quietly, humbly, and always with a smile. A Torah scholar who connected heaven and earth, with his feet planted deep in the soil of this good Land.

As a student at the Regavim Yeshiva, Maoz helped countless farmers redeem and work the land with his own hands. He loved his people, simply and truly - quietly raising donations and equipment for soldiers in need, never asking for anything in return.

Maoz's character embodied the highest values of the Israeli warrior - love of humanity, of his people and of the Land, devotion to the mission, determination, the pursuit of excellence and the drive for victory. As a student of the Itamar Yeshiva in Samaria, Maoz drew strength of spirit and faith in the justice of our cause from the Torah. I saw his striking picture in uniform, and heard of his kindness, his pursuit of truth and his humility.

The farm rising on the soil of the Eshkolot Corridor will carry his name - and continue his path: love of humanity, of the people, and of the Land.
