Thuli Square named after Major Toval Gvirtzman
The square and the elements integrated into it, the “tulip” flowers and the turret of the tank, symbolize Thuli’s life.
The “tulip” flowers are full, colorful and delight their beholders, just as Thuli was in his life.
The flowers are hollow as a symbol of what was not enough in his life, the space he left behind and the space that has opened in the lives of his lovers since his fall.
The turret of the “Shoot” type tank, in which Lehm Tuli was killed and by his side, symbolizes his dedication to the State of Israel for whose defense he fought,
His love for tanks and the armored corps, and being part of the battle’s legacy.” Tulik sits quietly in the sand
Sitting and looking at the blue sea
The eyes of Thulik two stars
And food is in the comfort of a bunch of grapes”…
