דוד ארז ז"ל

As Yoella Harshafi described you so well ,and I agreed as you were  born on the 23rd of May 1942, which makes you a Gemini.  On the 28th of October David Erez lost his life in the Yom Kippur War.  At that time David was living in New York where he was learning the trade of etching and preparing an art exhibition.  When the war broke out he immediately flew to Israel leaving his wife and young son behind.  David was born an artist and from a very young age drew and painted.  He perfected his art when he lived in Melbourne, Australia where he participated in many group shows and won the Australian Bnai Brit painting prize.  In 1965 David came back to Israel and served as a Paratrooper Sergeant in the Israel Defense Force.

קטע מתוך סרט על דוד ארז

אסתר ארז על הפרוייקט

About  the Project  אסתר ארז, אלמנתו של דוד,  על הפרויקט 

Last October 2013 a gentleman called Youval called me and invited me to attend the showing of some film projects that were being projected at Yad Lebanim in Ramat Hasharon. 

Out of pure curiosity and because it was being shown on the 28th of October , which is the day that my husband David Erez was killed I attended.

As many times the thought had crossed my mind to make a movie about my husband and to leave it as a legacy to my son and my grand children.

I went and once I was told who Youval was, wanted to introduce myself and tell him how I was very much interested in the project.  In retrospect I realize that Youval was stressed and that was the reason I was rebuffed.

I was offended but still stayed and watched all the movies with great interest.  At the end I went again to Youval and told him I was very much interested in making a movie about the life and not the death of my husband.
