More than four years after Moishe Kleinerman disappeared at age 16 near Mount Meron, his family in Modi'in Illit is facing demands from the National Insurance Institute and a visit from military police. The family has been searching for Moishe since he vanished in March 2022, with no information on his whereabouts.
Despite the ongoing search, the National Insurance Institute has begun sending the family notices and demands for payments and fines registered in Moishe's name. These demands, related to national insurance contributions typically due after age 18, are being sent to his parents' home even though his location is unknown.
Adding to their distress, representatives from the military police recently visited the Kleinerman home to locate Moishe, who is listed in military records as having failed to report for service. When the family explained their situation, they told the military representatives, "We are also looking for him."
Moishe Kleinerman was last seen on March 25, 2022, near the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Mount Meron. Extensive searches involving police, rescue units, volunteers, and ZAKA have been conducted in the area and northern forests. Investigations have explored possibilities of criminal or nationalistic involvement, with several suspects arrested and released due to insufficient evidence.
IDF officials stated that conscription orders are sent to all eligible individuals. When someone fails to report, an investigation is launched to determine their location, which may involve military representatives visiting their home. In Kleinerman's case, after understanding the circumstances of his absence, the military representatives left the family's home.
