In Memoriam of:
Noam Elimelech Rotenberg
Age: 24
In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.
Programmer at the training command headquarters. Noam z"l studied at the "Fullstack" speedtech course and graduated with distinction. He intended to continue studying software engineering. Over 1500 people came to celebrate Noam. Orthodox and secular, from all walks of life.
Noam grew up in a Haredi family but later broke with his upbringing, becoming secular and enlisting in the IDF as a lone soldier.
His father, Rabbi Aryeh Rojtenbarg, requested that Opposition Leader Yair Lapid — a staunch secularist — visit the family during the traditional mourning period in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot, because he wants to use his son’s death “to work toward unity… we are one people.”
