"The people of Israel have lost a leader." Thus Rabbi Itamar Lieberman, the teacher of soldier David Goloventzis, who died Tuesday in a training accident, described his former student at the Benei Tzvi high school in Efrat. Liberman said that David was full of joie de vivre and energy but was also a born leader.
David recently completed the officers training course and said this was a dramatic phase in his life as he could now be a mentor for his soldiers and help in their development.
