At YBA, we like to think
of our graduates as Torah Warriors™; on the front lines for Israel’s
survival, and in the forefront of Jewish Education.
The seven religious Zionist medal winners are:
- Cpl. Yehuda Wishlitski, a student at Yeshivat Hesder Beit Shean
- Staff Sgt. Erez Halfon, a graduate of Yeshivat Hesder Beit El
- Sgt. Matanya Maguri, a graduate of Yeshivat Hesder Yaffo
- Lt. Elishama Jacobs, a graduate of Yeshivat Hesder Alon Moreh
- Sgt. Yuval Heyman, from Efrat, whose family received the medal posthumously
- Lt. Eitan Feund, from Jerusalem, who risked his life charging into a tunnel to retrieve the body of his fallen fellow officer, Lt. Hadar Goldin
- Sgt. Roni Jackson, a religous female soldier from Kochav Hashachar, who spotted a band of terrorists emerging from a tunnel near Kibbutz Sufa and directed cannon fire to the site, thus saving many lives.
