Ben Dana and Yuval, brother to Ilan. Born on 10.4.1976 in Haifa, he spent his childhood and youth first in Ramat Hasharon and then in Kfar Saba, where he attended the Ben-Gurion Elementary School and graduated from the Galili High School Computers, and mathematics At a young age, Ran emerged as a fast-paced child, a concept capable of carrying out complex instructions, traits that deepened as he grew up and developed in the preschool and elementary grades of the elementary school. Zion, curious and imaginative, with a sense of sophistication and imagination, creative and enterprising, with the ability to concentrate and patience, And after a while in the game of dragons and labyrinths, which captivated him when he was 10. Rani loved to study and was an excellent student, diligent and industrious, so in high school and high school, he always stood out in his high grades, and in the eyes of his teachers, The computer world was perceived at a young age, and by the age of nine he had already proven his ability in this field and developed a software module within the framework of his father’s software company Carmon Systems. At every free moment he read, and since the books were written in English, he had mastered the English language. Already in high school, Rani was discovered as a very independent boy, able to manage on his own, an individualist and resourceful, ambitious and investing the soul and heart in whatever he chooses to do. His success in school did not turn his head, and when he received a grade of 100 in mathematics, he would dismiss the achievement with contempt, as if only by chance, during which time the sense of humor Moshe Lifshitz, one of Ran’s high school teachers, said: “Ran is very clever and wise, his opinions are solid and his answers are beautiful and original.” And Tirza, the computer teacher In high school, she added: “His teamwork was good and it was always fun. Because of the intensity of learning in the lab and the many hours spent there, I learned to recognize other aspects of his personality. Verne was so personable, so nice and fun. “In the twelfth grade, Rani spent a lot of time improving his physical fitness. Every day he would stand on the football field and run along the track that surrounds the lot. He never made it easy for himself, and would complete all the laps as planned, without any assumptions. After graduating he decided to go to the academic reserve. He passed the psychometric exam with a very high grade and was accepted to the computer science department at the Technion. At the end of October 1994, Rani enlisted in the IDF, underwent IDF basic training as part of the Academic Reserve and received a deferral of service until the completion of his degree studies at the Technion. The Technion studies are difficult and intensive, and Rani chose the most difficult and complex subjects in computers – logic, algorithms, operating systems, and so on. He found great interest in his studies and invested a lot of work in them, especially in computer graphics. A new area that attracted him was instruction. In the course of his work and experience in this project, Rani chose a course in science teaching and a course in cognitive psychology, and began to see teaching as a vocation and spoke of his desire to be an educator. , A close friend from the Technion: “I remember his entranceTo the classroom. He looked like a child-a huge baguette in one hand, a can of Coca-Cola in another, and a ketchup smeared on his mouth. Our real acquaintance was a year later, in a course that was divided into teams. Each team had five students who were asked to submit a joint project. I was not at the class where the class was divided into teams, and in the next class I saw a team of four who were gathered together, and Carmon, who was one of them, turned to me and invited me to join. There were two teams of five people there, and what struck me was that this kid was starting to run things. He began saying, ‘Hello, my name is Carmon,’ and from then on he simply organized and managed the whole project, and everyone who was there accepted his leadership naturally. ” He completed his bachelor’s degree with honors, but nevertheless decided not to engage in his profession during his military service, but to undergo the training of a combat soldier in the Golani Brigade, an unusual step among the reserve soldiers. For a week he returned to the induction center on a daily basis, rejected the professional offers he had been offered, and insisted on being assigned to Golani, and finally he was assigned to Golani and began a combat course. Nir, the company commander who commanded Rani’s company during the route, says: “I remember the opening conversation with him, and I was very worried about him because he was so different from the rest The soldiers were very well suited to the company, though not in the usual sense, the guys were very appreciative of him, he was the first to volunteer, he aspired to perfection, but the trashiness did not suit him, His personal level was higher than the general level, and yet the soldiers managed to find a way to reach him and helped him, especially when preparing for the psychometric exams. ” Nimrod, Rani’s close friend in the department, adds: “We were together, he was different from the rest of the soldiers, and the background of the two of us was similar, so we got close friends. . He went over and asked what we were doing, and when he saw what we were dealing with he must have been shocked. Omar, his good friend, also said: “He was the first person I told him that I wanted to go to combat service. Ran himself was already on track for a year, and when he heard me he shouted at me and said I was crazy. I think he knew it was an illogical decision, but I do not think he regretted his choice, because at any given moment he could have reversed it. He had a great interest in the army, which was one of the reasons why he chose that route. He wanted to see what it was, to experience the whole experience of the army. It was pleasant to be with Ran, a good guy with good intentions. There was not a trace of evil in him. Idealist, with a special way of thinking. “Rani wanted to be a commander – that was his clear goal, he went to a commanders’ course soon, and after the course he was assigned as a deputy commander of Recruiting Soldiers March 1999. But here his desire for perfection was an obstacle: he was a tough and uncompromising commander. In September 1999, he was assigned to the second platoon of Company A in Battalion 51. Immediately upon his arrival in the company, he asked to go to an officer’s course, but his request was not given to him. On December 20, 1999, Sergeant Rani Carmon was killed while carrying out his duties. Three days before his death, his company commanders decided to award him the ‘exemplary soldier of the company’. He was twenty-three years old when he fell, and did not get the signal in his life. Ran was laid to rest in the Kfar Saba military cemetery. My parents left behindAnd others. The family published a booklet to remember it and produced a film about his life. rip.
