Following their intensive involvement in advising Israel’s search-andrescue team dispatched to Haiti, three top-ranking IDF colonels in the Home Front Command came “home� to a different command – their high school alma mater, Boys Town Jerusalem. For Col. Ben-Tzvi Elyassi, Lt. Col. Yishai Malka, and Lt. Colonel Nir Golkin, the visit to Boys Town was an opportunity to recall the inspiration they first received there, as well as to meet today’s generation of students. “It was here at Boys Town that our rabbis instilled us with the supreme value of the sanctity of human life,� said Col. Elyassi, who today heads the Israeli Army’s Search & Rescue Doctrine and Development department. “For over 20 years, I’ve had the merit to save the lives of men, women and children in terrible disasters in Israel and the world. I’m proud that the IDF is guided by the mandate to value human life, and grateful that I can carry out what I learned in these classrooms.� Lt. Col. Yishai Malka, a classmate of Col. Elyassi in the class of 1982, recalled how his teachers and rabbis had cared for their students, crediting them with the technical and ethical education that spurred his climb in the ranks of the Home Front Command. Malka, who heads the IDF Rescue Corps Training School, has devoted decades to rescuing and protecting civilians in Israel and the world. “My unit and others went on alert almost the second the earthquake rocked Haiti. I remained with the rescue team till they flew from Israel, preparing and briefing

them for their work. Like Col. Elyassi, we kept in constant Internet and phone contact with the team, advising them from our vantage point in Israel.� Lt. Col. Nir Golkin heads the Home Front Command’s department of development for Israel’s world-class rescue equipment, under the direct command of Col. Elyassi. For the young engineer, Boys Town is a family affair: his father was a BTJ graduate who later taught at the school. “My assignment is to search the world for the finest equipment to locate and rescue disaster victims,� he told the students. “Some we develop here in Israel. Whatever I do, I carry the fundamental values I learned in Boys Town, especially derech eretz, acting with consideration and kindness towards others.� Boys Town Jerusalem is one of Israel’s premier institutions for educating the country’s next generation of leaders in the fields of technology, commerce, education, the military and public service. Since its founding in 1948, BTJ has pursued its mission of turning young boys from limited backgrounds into young men with limitless futures. From junior high through the college level, the three-part curriculum at Boys Town – academic, technological and Torah – is designed to turn otherwise disadvantaged Israeli youth into productive citizens of tomorrow. Boys Town’s 18-acre campus is a home away from home for its more than 800 students. More than 6,200 graduates hold key positions throughout Israeli society.
