David grew up in Kibbutz Kachav Hashachar. He was a simple and modest man, who is satisfied with few things and knows how to handle any situation. Nevertheless, he knew how to enjoy and indulge in what life had to offer.

David was capable of doing everything, his hands were skilled, everything was possible, and he could do it all by himself. Good food was something he truly enjoyed. He especially loved good meat, cheeses, cakes, and treats. Even in the kitchen, he had no problem experimenting and learning. When his wife Anat was preparing more complex dishes, he would join her, and as she recounts, "He takes the pastry bag from my hand and starts piping mascarpone cream onto the pastry that I'm just preparing, or braids challah from 4 strips while loudly explaining what comes after what."

David was a reservist combatant in the IDF's Matkal Reconnaissance Unit, who fell in a battle during Simchat Torah on Kibbutz Be’eri. He was 31 years old at the time of his death. He left behind a wife, Anat, a 9-month-old baby, Shaked, parents, and 6 siblings.

One of David's weaknesses was sweets - chocolates and cakes. In this recipe, his wife chose to combine his love for pear pie with white chocolate that he adored.
