Maj. (Res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter (39) z”l
A first-year MBA student in Healthcare Innovation at Reichman University and reservist paramedic was killed in action on November 8th, 2023, in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, when an IED exploded in a tunnel shaft under a mosque. He served as a company commander in the 697th Battalion of the 551st Brigade. Alongside his medical studies, Leiter played a key role in preparing ultra-Orthodox men for IDF service in Unit 8200, training them in computer science.
At his funeral in Jerusalem, his daughter Carmi expressed her admiration for his wisdom and strength, saying, “Dad, you made me into the best version of myself.” His wife, Tzippy, eulogized their 20-year marriage, calling him “one big light” whose brilliance now lives on in countless fragments. Leiter is survived by his wife and six children, the youngest under three months old, as well as his parents, grandmother, and seven siblings.
