David Pereque—David Pereque tragically passed away this week in Israel, leaving behind a grieving community and family who have traveled from abroad to honor his memory. A graduate of Talmud Torah & Herzliah, class of 2004, David was known for his unwavering dedication to defending Israel, where he served as a lone soldier in Gaza until just three months ago.
David’s loss has left his parents and sister devastated, having flown to Israel for his funeral, as he had no immediate family there. The family is now facing the daunting task of navigating the emotional and financial burdens that come with organizing a funeral in a foreign country. To support them, Hila Aviran has organized a GoFundMe campaign, "Honoring David Pereque: Funeral & Memorial Support," which has raised $1,772 CAD out of its $5,000 goal from six generous donors thus far.
The community has come together in an outpouring of support and condolences on social media. The Talmud Torah & Herzliah Alumni group expressed their sorrow: "We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of graduate, David Pereque, who tragically passed away in Israel this week. Our thoughts are with David’s family, friends, and community. We honor his dedication and sacrifice for Israel."
Sandra Suissa-Moghrabi, another mourner, wrote on Facebook, "I’m so sorry to read this tragic news. My sincere condolences to David’s Z’L family. Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet."
David’s legacy of courage, humor, intelligence, and kindness will be remembered by all who knew him. The community continues to rally around his family during this difficult time.
We are deeply saddened to learn of David Pereque’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this challenging period.
