Ori Moshe Borenstein son of Avi and Dalya Borenstein and grandson of Jack Borenstein fell in a battle in Gaza.
Like many other Israelis, Ori was drafted for emergency reserve duty on October 7th, 2023 when Hamas invaded Israel. He was a combat soldier in a logistics support unit.
On Oct. 10 2024, ( 8th of Tishrei תשפ"ה ), Ori along with another two reservists were killed in a battle in Jabalya in Gaza.
Ori's second name Moshe, was in memory of his uncle and grandfather Moshe Nisenbaum who was shot by the Nazis when caught hiding with his family.
-------Below is obituary written by Ori's cousin Danya Borenstein Koplowitz
Ori deserves to be remembered as a true light in this world. He was devoted to his family and everyone that knew him felt he was the glue that kept his whole family together. He embodied the role of older brother, protector; he was so loving and emotionally in touch. He was mature and wise beyond his years and extremely intelligent.
As a descendant of Holocaust survivors, he was continuing to fight for our continuity as Jewish people and he did so steadfast and without hesitation. He never for a second thought of himself first - always put others before himself.
He was quite connected to his family in Canada and was also very close to our Zaidy Jack Borenstein ."

The project will develop an observation point overlooking areas of Northern Israel and will include a deck, sitting area, a wall of memory and Amud (prayer column) pointing in the direction of Jerusalem.
Youth of Moreshet and the surrounding Galilee area will be able to visit the scenic observation point and participate in various educational activities, including learning about the heroes of Israel - many of whom have sacrificed their lives within the last year in order to help others.
