Sgt. Moshe Yitzchak hakohen Katz, a Chabad young man from New Haven, Connecticut, was killed on Shabbos in battle in Lebanon.
He was 22.
Moshe was the son of Mendy and Devorah Katz, members of the Chabad community in New Haven, CT. He was serving in the IDF when he fell in battle.
Moshe was described by Mendy Katz as “my oldest son with a zest for life and jokes,” adding, “My heart is shattered and the wound is real. May he be a malitz yosher for only good things.”
He is survived by his parents Mendy and Devorah Katz and siblings, Adina, Yehuda, Shua, and Dubi.
He is also survived by his grandparents, Mrs. Malka Katz of New Haven and Mr. and Mrs. Rosenswaig from Netanya, Israel.

… for perpetually getting themselves into stupid deals. Ceasefire with Lebanon a few months ago on condition that the Lebanese government disarm Hezbollah? Really? And they had the opportunity to finish them off years ago but always ignore the Rebbe.
A true tzaddik! May his family have much comfort! I’m sorry for your terrible loss!
Please give shiva details, I know it will be short because of Pesach. I am so desperately sorry, may Moshe HYD have a lichtege Gan Eden with the Rebbeim.
Moshe was the most sincere student. A heart of pure gold. You see that smile in the picture that’s Moshe. My dear student. I will always remember you.
Mendy, from an old friend, so sorry for your terrible loss. May we merit the fulfillment of the promise of V’hakitzu Viranenu Shochnei Afar Vehi B’tocham B’karov Mamosh.
