Commemorating Sergeant Matityahu Yehuda Ya'akov Perl z"l by donating a medi-cycle and saving lives!
Sergeant Matityahu, Yehuda Ya'akov Perl, from Beit El was a soldier of the 46 Armored Corps Battalion, Iron Fist Formation (401). He was killed in battle in Beit Hanoun, the northern Gaza Strip, on January 8, 2025. He was 22 years old at the time of his death.
Matityahu was born in June 21, 2002. He was a graduate of the Alon Moriah Yeshiva and was the eighth fallen student since the war began. He was the son of Avraham and Leah Perl, grandson of Tzvi and Shlomit Perl, and Rachel Koren, and a niece of Ruti Strauss. He had siblings: Emunah, Reut, Sarah, Moshe, Natan'el, Esther, Hodaya, Tamar, Miriam, Menachem, Avital, and Yitzhak. On November 10, 2022, he enlisted in the IDF and served in the Armored Corps.
Mati , who was injured ten months before his death, was hospitalized for inhaling smoke in the tank, but he insisted on returning to combat.
Rabbi Shlomo Perl, Matityahu, 's uncle, shared this about his beloved nephew: "Matatiahu was an example of a person who combines a life of Torah with military service, love for friends, modesty, and great kindness to everyone around him," said Rabbi Perl. "When he enlisted, he took the Torah with him into the tank."
