Avraham, son of Chasia and Mordecai, was born on 23.1.1953 in Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet until he reached the age of 16. He studied at the “Harry Ephraim” school and spent his 11th grade at the Technikum School in Haifa And ended as the “trainee of the year”. Because he felt that the level of the school was not suited to his talents, he moved to the Sprinzak High School in Haifa and graduated there as one of the outstanding students. Abraham, or Avremale – as they were called in the farm – did not find his place in the company of the children. It was only when he grew up that he “began to balance,” as his girlfriend Dorit says. “His problem was the framework that did not suit him, demands that he could not meet, in terms of his character and his talents, everything he learned in the class bored him, he was much more receptive than the average student, so he did not show up at school very often. Appears only during the test hours, and they always pass with good grades. ” From an early age, Avraham was gifted with surprising talents in the real professions. He spent most of his time building airplanes and various electronics experiments. Gilad said: “When it comes to building airplanes, Avraham was the general, and our exhibitions were always populated by his Yaffa models.” Abraham, who was a child of nature, spent most of his childhood in his room – listening to records, painting, writing songs, and so on – working on his planes and building radios. “Avraham was different from us, and only at a later age did he begin to discover himself and then he was also revealed to us with his variety of talents and potential.” In the farm he worked in the field, a branch he loved so much that it captured him in one of his poems. He also contributed to the kibbutz from his talents in the field of electronics, when he installed an electric scoreboard on the local basketball court – and the board still works to this day. For years he had aspired to become a pilot when the day came, but in tests he was found to be color-blind and therefore disqualified. Avraham was drafted into the IDF in mid-November 1971 and assigned to the Armored Corps, where he underwent various courses: tank artillery course, tank course, tanks tank course, and tank commander course. At the beginning of his service he suffered from the attitude of some of the soldiers. He was too gentle to adjust to the rigors of military life. But slowly and gradually he took his place in the unit. He became attached to the tank and to the armored personnel, learned to get along with everything in his smiling way, and was even considered one of the best commanders in the unit. During the Yom Kippur War, Avraham was with his unit in Sinai. When his first “Sukhoim” flew over the soldiers, Avraham shouted to his friends to start the tanks. That’s how his war began. For five days, the unit went through tough battles, and Rami said, “There were times when there were situations like this. On the 12th of Tishrei 5740 (October 12, 1973) the unit arrived at Giv’at Ha-Amudim, where a fierce battle was waged against the enemy. Avraham, who served as a noncommissioned tank officer, took his vehicle to the position three times, and for the third time he was hit and fell, brought to rest in the cemetery in Ramat Hashofet, leaving behind his parents, brother and sister. His commander wrote: “Avraham participated in the harsh and cruel battle in which the Egyptian enemy was stopped. We, his friends, remember his courage and dedication. Until his last moments he stuck to the task and did not abandon it. “In his memory, the kibbutz published a pamphlet containing friends’ comments and excerpts from his poems, and his parents contributed to the establishment of a club for radio enthusiasts in the Kiryat Shprinzak high school for technicians.
