Amrani, Eliezer


Son of Hamama and Shimon, was born on July 5, 1927 in Jerusalem. In the family he was educated to preserve tradition and was steeped in Torah from his childhood. His stubbornness was to finish high school, and then he was accepted to a teachers’ seminary of the “Mizrachi” in Jerusalem. His family lived in Tel Aviv and lived in a narrow room in one of Jerusalem’s neighborhoods. Lived in poverty and poverty, but refused to receive help from his parents and made a living by writing mezuzahs, because he was an artist, and occasionally supported the family with his meager money, and was a cantor in the synagogue in Beit Vagan and taught his friends songs and melodies. On November 27, 1947, two days before the UN General Assembly decided to partition the country, he enlisted with his classmates in the Haganah. He had been trained in Neve Yaakov and since then he has studied and defended on and off, on a hard working day and on nights that he kept, and yet he did not lose his good spirit. On the night of the capture of Notre Dame, he served as a sapper and bore explosives, and on the following day, on May 20, 1948, he stood with his three friends in a position in Notre Dame When the armored vehicle approached them, the armored vehicle advanced slowly, fired fire from various tanks and shelled heavy shells, and the defenders tried to hit the armored cars with stencils in their hands. (10.9.1950) was brought to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
