Son of Nava and Abraham. Amit was born in Be’er Sheva on April 30, 1988. A second child in a family with three sons and three daughters, a brother to Rotem, Itay, Stav, Ofir and Lior. Amit was born when his sister Rotem was less than two years old and they grew up together. Rotem and Amit were her first grandchildren, and they enjoyed many luxuries. When Amit was about six months old, his mother Nava says, he fell from his bed once, and his upper front, the incisor, fell. For six years he grew toothless, “like Popeye,” as the mother said, until she grew up in the same place as the fleshy tooth. But this, of lack of space, grew wide, and so he continued until the age of eleven, when he installed a bridge to straighten teeth. Amit grew up in Be’er Sheva until the age of eight and studied at the Nitzanim Elementary School. When he finished third grade, the family moved to Shim’a, in the southern Hebron hills, where he studied at the Amit regional school in Meitar.

Amit grew up and became a young man full of joie de vivre, who knew and loved to enjoy life. He was always surrounded by friends with whom he loved to spend and often even to do nonsense, and in every recreation he was the focus around which everyone was united. But Amit often proved once again that even when he was serious, he knew how to be a true friend, so that when he asked for his help he would be at once, even in the middle of the night. “Thank you for all the times you played soccer with me and you fought with me for the game until the last second, even when everyone wanted to go home and throw the ball out … Thank you for making a feast with me the day I finished the balls against the half- And you went with me in the middle of a school to buy a drink and you were happy with me and smiled like a smile that just gives a person a feeling that he has reached the peak of his life … Thank you for the Thou did not know how to pronounce properly, and you would put Tz. Thank you for all your help to anyone who asked, and to anyone you could help. ” At home, in the few hours that Amit did not communicate with his friends, he liked to play computer games, especially in the PlayStation. He was also very fond of watching the comic television series “The Pajamas,” which had been broadcast since he was fifteen. This is a very successful comedy series, about the exploits of band members appearing in their pajamas, and that’s why the band won that name. Amit also used to go out of the house during the day in a trinity where he slept in his slippers and was not bothered by the surroundings. So he went out every day, his parents say, and that was his symbol.
