The group decided to dedicate
themselves to the challenge in order to pay honor to the memory of Staff
Sgt. Evyatar Turgeman, an Israeli Hesder student at Yeshivat Hakotel who
was killed in action during last summer’s Operation Protective Edge. Turgeman
was an avid Bnei Akiva member and leader of the youth movement in his home town
of Beit Shean, where he graduated from YBA Beit Shean.
Veteran immigrant from the US, Yona Budo, had this to say about his friend and former chevruta (study partner) at Hakotel: "Evyatar was serious about everything he did. Already in our first year at Hakotel he knew what he expected from himself. He was straight as an arrow and very serious about learning Torah; something you don't see in many 18-year-old boys. We want to expose the Bnei Akiva kids to this weekend to the traits that Evatar personified - genuine integrity, and a clear conviction to holiness and serving Hashem."
