A man of values, Torah, and good deeds.
Eitan was a talented child, wise, kind, beloved, interested in everything from art to history, poetry, literature, science, mythology, musicnd, and so much more.
He was eulogized: “Eitan! Eitan! What do you have to do with wars, beloved student? Eitan the knowledgeable, the wise, the curious, speaking two hundred kilometers per hour, his tongue stumbling and not keeping up with all there is to say, to ask, to listen, to add a thought or a different perspective. Eitan the righteous, so humble, feverish with creativity, an artist in Torah and a wise student in the arts, a growing spring, drawing the whole world into a whirlwind of curiosity. During every gallery tour, he clung closely to the artworks and returned to pour out all the associations that came to him: history and art lessons, quotes from the Mishnah, and just insights that came to him, to check if I also thought, if I agreed. Your final piece called ‘Kuma, Mi-Afatzim, and Kankantum’. You explained to me that these are the materials from which ink is made for writing a Torah scroll. With this ink, you drew the Jewish fate scroll – three meters of dense miniature drawing: destruction and redemption, diasporas and riots. The Jewish stream of consciousness poured from you in an endless flood of symbols and shapes, holiness and monsters. Did you know that this eternal fate would also sweep you away? Your creation was exhibited and won excellence awards at national exhibitions, stood out among your peers. A creation that completely breaks the mold of age, trend, or imitation of what you learned about in art lessons. A monumental, Jewish, and timeless creation.
