Barar, Ronald

Ben Dorah and Yosef. Born in the Soviet Union on January 28, 1982. Ronald grew up in Moscow until the age of seven, and in early 1989 immigrated to Israel with his mother, At the Hadarim Elementary School, where he went on to the ORT Rehovot junior high school and graduated successfully in 2001. Udi, Ronald’s high school teacher, said: “I got to know Ronald as a witty, original boy who knew how to stand up in an original and special way. The nickname ‘walking encyclopedia’ was very suitable for him in his orientation to historical events. Ronald liked to be original in his own way – always shorts, always biblical sandals – a sort of mirror of the ‘new’ Jew, a Jewish Jew in his renewed land. ” Ronald excelled in science studies, and dreamed of studying at the Technion after his military service. Ronald liked to help, and contributed far beyond personal commitment during his studies. He loved nature and animals passionately, and worked voluntarily in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Because he controlled computers, he spent a lot of time, and sometimes even a whole night, preparing backups for the computer files at Kaplan Hospital. Ronald attended several classes in addition to his studies: In elementary school he studied the arts of judo and kung fu. “Of course my going to these circles is purely defensive, so I can defend myself if I ever attack,” he said. He continued to develop his ability, especially in swimming and running long distances, his two favorite sports. Ronald, Ronnie in the mouth of his lovers, was an only child and especially attached to his mother. The connection between them was extraordinary, and together they went through all the hardships of absorption and settled in Israel. Ronald was always surrounded by friends who loved his joie de vivre and the depth of his knowledge in every field. In November 2001, Ronald enlisted in the Lavi infantry regiment, which was established as a regular battalion in the Hebron area, and began active operations against terrorists and wanted men. On 23 January 2003, Ronald fell in battle in Hebron. He was killed in a terrorist attack when he was on duty at the Sheep Junction. Staff Sergeant Yaakov Naim and Corporal Asaf Bitan were killed. Ronald was twenty years old when he fell. After his death, he was promoted to corporal, he was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Rehovot, left behind by his parents, and a high school teacher told Ronald: “Ronald, it is unnatural that we are eulogizing you. A man with such solid determination, common sense, and so much knowledge in history and other fields. You were destined for greatness, and the hand of injustice cut off that flower. You could succeed, you could fly-I have no doubt about it. It’s hard for me, until it’s impossible to part from you. I will remember and keep you forever. “Avishag added,” You were special. But everything is dwarfed by the shock of your fall, the words are meaningless … Nechama is not there, and I just want to believe that even up there you still smile and fulfill dreams. “
