Al-Qabz, Amar

Son of Chaya and my father, was born on 13.1.1977 in Rehovot, a young brother to Shira and a graduate of Ro’i. He grew up in Rehovot. He studied at the Bechor Levi Elementary School and continued his junior high and high school studies at the Amos de Shalit high school, in the sociological and history studies. His thesis in sociology was written on the subject: “The adaptation of graduates of youth movements to military service.” From the fifth grade, Amar was active in the Scout movement, and soon the viewers’ nest became his second home. From the age of eleven and for three years, Amar was active in the International Youth Movement (CISV), and even came out with a representative delegation to Norway. , Amar volunteered for a year of service in Or Yehuda as part of the “Tnufa” nucleus of the Scout Movement, and with the help of five other members of the Scouts Movement, he volunteered for a variety of activities in the community – MDA, Mishmar Where he helped prepare homework and employ children from distressed families, and even after his enlistment, Amar did not sever his connection with the IDF And in the last year of his military service, he volunteered to deliver special preparatory activities for eighth graders, the Scouts, prior to their enlistment in the IDF and encouraged them to volunteer for a year of service. Amar was an excellent athlete who dealt with many sports. As a child, he belonged to the Maccabi Shaarayim soccer team, to the Maccabi Rehovot handball team, to Rehovot’s swimming team and to the school’s athletic team. He was an avid supporter of the Hapoel Tel Aviv soccer and basketball teams. He liked to watch games, and even played himself, especially on weekends, football, basketball, tennis and table tennis. In summer he surfed in a windsurf. Other great loves of Amar were trips and trips for the Land of Israel and he listened to the songs of Shlomo Artzi. In his few spare hours he liked playing chess and watching suspense films. Amar enlisted in the IDF in mid-November 1996. Prior to his enlistment, he successfully drafted a Sayeret Matkal commando unit, but unfortunately he was not assigned to the unit. His second preference was to serve in the Golani reconnaissance unit, where he was indeed assigned and began his career in the reconnaissance unit. Towards the end of the route, Amar was wounded on both legs and had to undergo surgery in each of them. For this reason he had to leave the commando unit. During this period he discovered the world of computers and since then was connected to the Internet and became a “madman” of interest. At the end of the six-month recovery period after the first operation, Amar decided to postpone the second surgery and return to active duty. Despite his injured leg, he insisted on raising his profile and returning to service in a combat unit, and after many attempts he succeeded. Omar became a scientist to serve under Brigadier General Erez Gerstein, commander of the Liaison Unit for Lebanon, and was called for an interview with Erez and later joined the Liaison and Coordination Committee as Erez’s personal liaison. Amar was happy in this role. On February 28, 1999, Amar was killed during an operational operation in Lebanon. This happened when the members of the unit in which he performs a routine task in the town of Hatzaviya. They drove on a route that was considered relatively safe, when a powerful bomb planted by Hezbollah exploded. Ammar Abu Rish, the personal driver of the LIC commander and Ilan Roeh, wrote Kol Israel in the north On the morning of his death, Amar sent a letter, addressed to the brigade Golani and the Ministry of Defense, calling on these bodies to maintain and cultivate monuments erected at various sites for fallen IDF soldiers. The words were written in his name and on behalf of the soldiers of his unit, who visited the site as part of a battle heritage lessonCommemorating Golani casualties in Tel Faher, and were shocked at the sight of the site’s serious neglect. The letter was published in the press and became a kind of will. At the age of twenty-two, Omar was falling. He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Rehovot. Survived by his parents, sister, brother and girlfriend, Michal. After they fell, Amar was promoted to First Sergeant. In order to commemorate Amar, his family and other bodies, such as the Ministry of Education and the Department of Commemoration of the Ministry of Defense, and established a project in the spirit of Amar’s will to preserve the monument to the Golani soldiers in Tel Faher. “It is not yet a year since Amar was taken away, but his letter written before he was killed became a will, which we are actually carrying out.” We are now receiving news from hundreds of schools that tens of thousands Youths visit and cultivate tombstones and monuments that were not dealt with in the past, and there is no doubt that we are witnessing the beginning of the process and the opening of Nat This is an important educational event that will strengthen the willingness and willingness of youth in the State of Israel to contribute to society and to the State of Israel. At the conference, which was attended by relatives and loved ones, it was decided that in the spring of 1999 a youth conference will be held in the north of the country. The tribe of Scouts chose to commemorate Amar in several ways: The basketball court was renovated (a basketball game on Friday was one of Omer’s main hobbies), and a memorial ceremony was held at the entrance to the tribe in Kiryat Moshe. And a quote from a poem by Shlomo Artzi: “This is what is left.” Once a year, a “spring trip” was set up to commemorate him, and once a “nucleus of Amar” was established, in which his friends Six Communists from the Shiner tribe. The book of Omar’s memory will be published soon. Under the house where Omar lived, ‘Gan Amar’ was established. Ido, a friend of Amar from the tribe of Shnir, writes: “So many small things that flood us daily and remind us of Amar – are the true commemoration. What a normal person does not contribute throughout his life, Amar contributed in his 22 years. It is difficult to sign the memorial campaigns, because they will never stop. We are doing everything we can to remember and never forget. “Amar’s mother says:” Amar was endowed with extraordinary honesty and caring for everything around him. He was always willing to help, and it did not matter when or where he always came when they needed him. His giving capacity was limitless or inhibited. Omar was involved in everything that was happening in the country, both socially and politically. He was active in Dor Shalom and the Labor Youth. The letter was written by the family of Tal Ayalon, Amar’s predecessor: “Amar arrived at the team during the period when we examined every soldier at seven Eyes. When eight people have to rely on each other with their eyes closed, there is no room for mistakes when choosing staff. Being a liaison with the commander of the Lebanese sector, this is a responsibility that goes beyond what is acceptable to a simple soldier in the IDF, so we chose Amar for the post – a principled, stubborn and meticulous person. In the Mercedes, and sometimes they slapped us on the back and said, “Well done, child …” A lot of firing orders, many caravan permits and things I can not elaborate on, passed between the commander and the liaison officer and his way to the war room. He was full of amor”I wanted to tell you that from the day you were killed I noticed that in Shlomo Artzi’s songs I listen to the words. When the left won the last elections / I started thinking about whether it could be / but on the day they renewed with Syria The conversations / I came to the conclusion that it just has to happen / And I realized that as you donated, influence and changed in your short life, / You continue the work from the heights … And only longing “In the course of the conversation, and perhaps for the first time, I was able to understand in depth the great intellectual wealth of Omer, the values ​​on which he grew up, and the way he was educated, In which he believed and acted accordingly. Omar explained and explained why he should return, volunteer and play a significant role in the army. He did not find any interest in a back-end unit or in a training unit, because he knew and believed that he could contribute more to the spear units … Omar is a soldier that every commander would be blessed with, and he wants all his soldiers to be like him. It is certain that the task will be fully implemented and that there is someone to rely on. “On the fourth anniversary of his fall, Shira Goren, the young coordinator of the Scout troop in Rehovot, eulogized him:” You plant a sapling, a small tree, / watch how it grows and / He is fond of him, embraces him with warmth and great love, and does not stop looking at him with open admiration. But he is like a close friend, a confidant, / a source of strength and pride, and suddenly he is cut off for no reason / and we It was impossible to describe how huge it was, larger than life, like a small God, / an object of great admiration and infinite appreciation, / We were small beside him, in the face of his great intelligence, / With a smile that is charming and shy, on the one hand, charismatic, energetic, determined, determined in his actions, on the other, a rare combination of all virtues. He was destined for greatness, and apparently his world was too small for him, no doubt he was accepted above with the honor that is meant only for those who are unique. / Amar, four years have passed since you left us, left us, your many friends We miss you like a thousand years / and every day that passes, longing for you is only growing. “
