Judaism in France can be proud of his son and daughters in Israel
By Ben-Meir Hayoun
It would be appropriate to mitigate deterministic image Jew = victim's murder of Ilan Halimi could print in the conscience, especially shortly after the commemoration of Holocaust Day. After this atrocious murder, grief of Judaism in France including I am a son should prevent regain prestige and pride of her children who have made aliyah.
A friend remarked to me that many French and son of Olim from France serve as soldiers in Israel and among them many officers at all levels in front line units of the IDF as regiments Golani, Givati or of paratroopers. In this regard, it is not forbidden to predict that in a few years, the Chief of Staff of the IDF may be the son of a French family. Many
son of French-speaking friends are officers in elite units of the hardest and it is very common among olim from France second generation. This is even without any action with their proportion in the general population the country. They are often as he agreed to designate "practicing Jews."
Children of Francophone Olims demonstrate motivation and morale that has been infused by the spirit of sacrifice and idealism Zionist foolproof their parents arrived in the wave of Aliyah following the Six Day War and the years 70 and 80.
For example, the highest ranking officer killed during a commando raid during the second Lebanon war was Lieutenant-Colonel Emanuel Moreno, the son of our friends Alan and Sylvia Moreno. Alan and Sylvia were in France student of Rabbi Leon Ashkenazi, more known by his nickname, Manitou, this giant of the teaching of Judaism after the Second World War, which crystallization Aliyah from France from 1967 until his death in 1996.
Emmanuel was born in France in 1970 and arrived in Israel with his parents at the age of two years. He died in battle against Hezbollah in Baalbek in Lebanon. He was only 36 years old and left a widow and four children. He was senior officer in the most prestigious and most secretive Israeli elite units, the legendary "Sayeret Matkal" can be translated as "the special unit of the General Staff." That is why even three years after his death, the IDF still does not allow that his photo is made public.
In any event, the Jews of France can be proud of having produced among its members motivated Olim who led the daring quality fighters who received military training of the most sophisticated and experienced in fire. These Jewish fighters born in French families still have some relatives in France. They certainly will not be indifferent if, God forbid, the situation would deteriorate even more worrying still for the Jews in France.
