Ben Michal and Elazar. Was born on December 20, 1981 in Tel Aviv, a year after the birth of his older sister Noa. He was a cute baby who cried a bit, but when he smiled the sun shone. Uri was the only one in the family with blue eyes and golden hair, and although he was a little late in speech, he was especially intelligent and at the age of three and a half he could read. His first written work – “The Plane” – accompanied by paintings and clarifications – was presented at the age of five and a half and caused great excitement in his immediate surroundings … Since then, many wrote poems and stories. Uri always had a lot of friends – from his early days in Gan Bracha – the nursery school where he spent two happy years, and later at Shula Park in the Ramat Hahayal neighborhood of Tel Aviv. With these friends, he went to first grade at the Ramat Hahayal Elementary School, a small and intimate school, where emphasis was placed on a supportive family environment, and reduced importance was given to achievement. In his youth, Uri was diagnosed as gifted, but because he did not want to leave his friends and move to another school, he was reinforced by a number of “science-seeking youth” groups, including a group of stories, a department of legal thinking and a department of mathematical thinking. When he was about nine years old, he found an interest in origami, Japanese paper-folding art, and devoted himself entirely to the new hobby. During this period he traveled with his father and sister to Paris, France, where he arranged for himself a thrilling adventure when they disappeared on the Avenue de Saint-Germain. After an hour of searching and anxiety, Uri was discovered at the police station on San Benoit Street, sitting contentedly on a bench, looking curiously at the events and communicating calmly with the policemen and the citizens in English. Uri was thirteen years old when he began to play the piano, and discovered a developed musical sense and extraordinary talent. Later, he also played the guitar. Uri was fluent in languages, spoke English and French and read a lot in Hebrew and English. When he completed his studies at the “Ironi Yud” junior high school, he decided to move to the Herzliya Gymnasium where the level of studies was higher and suited to his abilities and abilities, but he continued to meet mainly with neighborhood friends who came to his home and played together He never had to urge Ori to do his homework, and only rarely did he ask for help in his studies, and when he finished high school, he had a matriculation certificate and the psychometric exam of the Council for Higher Education, In mid-February 2000. After basic training, He was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, leaving parents, two sisters – Noa “I wanted to be more myself, so I began to think logically. I wanted to be more happy, so I initiated a break, thanking: It’s easy to say that I have a problem that will always accompany me, but the truth is that I am pretty It’s all empty, it’s all empty, it takes a little bit, so soon I’ll feel the best I can take a little bit, and then the emotion will disappear completely, leaving me alone I dreamed for a second that I wanted to forget everything: the failures of tomorrow, the disappointments of yesterday Yes, it is the sadness that is spreading through my body, Like illness, he does not want to go out and takes a little, but soon I will feel the best that can take a little and then fall fear always takes over, the mind does not play a role even in such a stupid game should know lose. In his letter of condolence to the bereaved family, Col. Dror wrote:”Uri served in my unit as a maintenance noncom, and performed his duties with a high degree of motivation and a strong desire to contribute. Uri devoted his time to the IT management and organization unit, a subject that interested him very much.

In my name, and on behalf of all the commanders and soldiers of the unit, I would like to express our sincere participation in your sorrow and hope that you will no longer know sorrow.
