IDF officer Emanuel Moreno HY”D was killed during a classified operation in the Second Lebanon War while operating in Lebanon. He served as a senior Sayeret Matkal officer. Due to the fact members of his team are still alive, his photo may not be shown as is the case with the photo of his brother, for fear they will be identified as they are similar in appearance. The details of the mission he was on remain classified today.

On motzei Shabbos, his brother Ilan Moreno and Rav Shmuel Moreno were guests of honor at a siyum Shas Yerushalmi held in the Beis Naftali Beis Medrash of Belz in Ashdod.

The participants of the siyum were quite astounded to hear a bit about the fallen hero, Lt.-Colonel Emanuel Moreno and Major Roi Klein HY”D. Their memories are perpetuated in the shul due to the generosity of philanthropist Elio Moti Sonnenfeld.

The limud of Yerushalmi took place in the shul this past year in memory of Danielle Sonnenfeld, a daughter of R’ Moti and all the avreichim who took part in the limud received a special grant. During the event an entrance to the Beis Medrash was dedicated in memory of Danielle.

Danielle A”H was killed in an accident. Following her death, her father set up a fund that supports many tzedaka and chessed programs in her memory, including this siyum which was held before her second yahrzeit.

Some of the others taking part in the siyum include HaGaon Rav Yosef Efrati, HaGaon Rav Aharon Berkowitz (Rav of the Reut Kehilla in Ra’anana), HaGaon Rav Shlomo Chanoch Werner (Head of Keren Danielle), Rav Elimelech Firer (Head of Ezra L’Marpeh) and HGaon Rav Menashe Fink (Rav/Dayan of Kehillas Belz Ashdod).
