Baruch, Ezra

Son of Pnina and Aharon, was born on April 1, 1964 in Be’er Sheva. When he was 4c his parents separated and he moved in with his father. Until sixth grade, he attended the “Karo Yosef” religious school in Be’er Sheva. Afterward, he moved to the religious school “Chazon Yehezkel” in the field of Gat. The boarding school changed his life. Ezra loved school and school, and discovered talent for craftsmanship and painting. He loved the sea, practiced a lot of equipment and developed his physical fitness. He did not complete his studies in a boarding school, which was designed to train teachers, because he did not consider himself capable of teaching. At the age of 17, Ezra left the institution and moved to live with his aunt in Be’er Sheva. He studied at the “Amal” school in the electrical-industrial track and successfully completed his studies. In 1982, he enlisted in the IDF and served in the Golani Brigade, which he admired from his youth and after a period of basic training he served in this field and later served as a paramedic, a post in which he saw his mission. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant and began to serve as a Golani paramedic, and was blessed with the love of others and the understanding that they needed his help. To serve in Lebanon, Ezra asked the education officer to be hired as a lone soldier on the kibbutz, where he could see his house on time Vacations, which he will be able to evacuate in the future when he is discharged from the IDF. The Mishmar Hasharon group opened its gates before him and was soon absorbed in the economy as a lone soldier by an adoptive family. On vacation he would come to the group and work in the electrician, the cowshed, and the picking. He had acquired many friends who loved him. “Ezra radiated heat, love and understanding,” his friends told him. He dreamed of the day he would be discharged from the army, continue his studies, and raise a family, and his eldest son decided to read Golani on February 4, 1985, when he was on a reconnaissance mission to the village of Joya in Lebanon, His unit was attacked by a terrorist ambush and Ezra was hit in the head, and the medic, who treated him with great devotion, was trained a short time earlier by Ezra, who fought for his life for a week and died on January 10, Rambam. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin wrote about him after his death: “He was a good and devoted soldier. He served as a model and example to his friends, always striving to advance, and helped his friends in every possible situation.” In his journal “Medicine”, he wrote: “According to his ambition and his way of life, he saw the profession of the paramedics as a human mission and struggled to go to a paramedics course. “He said. Ezra was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Be’er Sheva. He was followed by parents and a sister. The Mishmar Hasharon group, which adopted it, published a booklet in his memory
