Bareket, Abraham

Son of Zarifa and Michael. He was born in 1925 in Jerusalem. When he was three months old, he was orphaned from his mother and handed over to his grandmother. Avraham attended the elementary school for boys in Jerusalem (now the “Sokolov” school). When he was about 14, he was forced to stop his studies and go to work to help the family’s agriculture. He joined the Hanoar Haoved movement and despite the hardships of life and the hardships he suffered, he did not lose his cheerfulness, and was friendly and sympathetic to all his friends and acquaintances. In 1942, before the age of 17, he enlisted in the British army and was assigned to a Hebrew driver’s unit. He acquired the profession of leadership and planned his future as a driver. He served in Egypt and on the seventh of Kislev 5703 5703 (7.11.1942), before he completed his first year of service, he fell in one of the bitter battles that took place near Al-Almin between the Eighth Army under Montgomery and the German Corps of Africa under Rommel. Avraham, who was 18 years old, was killed in the battles to liberate the Negev and died of his wounds. Avraham’s name was immortalized in “The Book of Volunteerism,” in “The Book of the Press”, and in the book “Yizkor” by the Jabotinsky Institute in 1977. An investigation conducted in 2017 found that he was immortalized in Alamein Memorial, Al-Alamein, Egypt. The space is a mikal-a space whose burial place is unknown.
