The funeral procession will depart from the Heichal Yaakov synagogue, near his residence in Kiryat Moshe, where Yehuda used to pray for many years.
Milkha, Yehuda's mother, spoke this morning in an interview with Galei Tzahal about her murdered son: "He was the second child out of seven. A very talented and smart child. He did everything with agility, seriousness and perseverance with a lot of love; he dreamed of enlisting in the 13th Squadron.".
The mother told the B-Net network about how she heard about the attack: "I came back from Shaarei Tzedek, and then my sister called me and said, 'Check on Yehuda - there was an attack at Tapuach Junction.'" I told her, 'No, he must be hitchhiking or on the bus.' I didn't think it was him. I called and he didn't answer. I called Blinson's emergency room and they told me, 'He's here, come.' I asked if he was alive, and they told me, 'Yes, but come with a deep breath.''
She added: "We were honored to say goodbye to him and that he will be with us for a few more days.".
Zviel, Yehuda's brother, spoke about their bond: "We did everything together, from the age of zero. Lately we've been together a lot. We mostly traveled and studied. He wanted to take on a lot of things. Every Saturday night he would come home, go for runs and train. He had a lot of humility, seriousness and perseverance.".
