Lev U'Mayan (Or BaLev CD). An Erez Levanon song.
Erez Levanon, of
saintly and blessed memory, his yahrtzeit 7 Adar. Erez was a gentle
and unblemished tzaddik that loved his G.d, his rebbe, his people, and
his homeland. The voice and music is his, and the photos are of our
gorgeous and hallowed Land of Israel. Erez, cherished brother and true
tzaddik, we miss you so badly. Rav Lazer Brody
Erez HY"D , a resident of the Bat Ayin settlement, was murdered in 2007 in a valley near the arab village of Beit Omar , north of Hebron.
Erez, a 42 year-old father of three was stabbed to death not far from his vehicle.
He kept a routine schedule of Torah studies, and spent one hour each day at a secluded location communing with G.d. His friend, Rabbi Michi Yossefi, said that he was apparently murdered while praying at his usual spot.
Sunday the 7th of Adar 5767 towards evening the soul of the sweet singer Erez Levanon z"l was taken as he was deep in prayerful meditation in the nearby forest. He had been missing since the afternoon when his body was found by friends from Bat Ayin. They had been searching for several hours. Erez Levanon Hashem yikom Damo was brutally murdered by arabs from the village of Beit Omar. He was laid to rest Monday the 8th of Adar in the cemetery of Kfar Etzion. More than 1000 people walked up the hill from the Beit Knesset in Bat Ayin and stood for more than two hours eulogizing Erez Levanon Z"l in the heaviest rain, the tears of Heaven reflecting our tears and sobs. His eleven year old son Eder, recited the mourners kaddish with a brave voice piercing everyone's hearts.
Erez was an exemplary family man, who managed to reach a wonderful balance between his work and his home… he wasn't someone who stood out but a very modest man.Y
