In Memoriam of:
Yosef Malachi Guedalia
Age: 22
From: Beit Shemesh
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.
Sgt. First Class Yosef Malachi Guedalia, 22, of the Duvdevan commando unit, was killed in action on Sunday near Kfar Aza.
Guedalia was born and raised in Beit Shemesh in an English-speaking family. Proud of his Spanish-Portuguese heritage, he was “a very gentle, sweet person. He would blend seamlessly into any new group he joined. People loved him and he was accepted by everyone,” a relative told The Times of Israel.
Guedalia was due to finish his IDF service soon, and had gotten married almost exactly one year ago. His was buried on Wednesday, October 11, at the Har Hertzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem.
A fundraising campaign for the Duvdevan unit was started in his name. It describes Guedalia as “a friend, a brother, a soldier, a husband, and most importantly a beautiful soul. He left behind a wonderful family and a heroic unit that could really use some good news and is continuously fighting for our safety.”
