Cohen, Pinchas

Son of Rina and Ze’ev, was born on 21 April 1930 at Kibbutz Tel Yosef. In 1933 his parents moved to Moshav Ein Vered. Where he attended kindergarten and then spent ten years in the school in Tel Mond. He was a well-developed boy with a talent for studies, but from childhood he preferred practical work in agriculture to study and study, and devoted entirely to the development of his parents’ farm. He reached such perfection that his experienced and experienced agricultural father relied on him and listened to his advice and instructions. In addition to his regular work hours, he added foreign labor and with hard labor brought a neglected orchard to a new production. His ambition was to bring his parents’ agriculture to the peak of the improvements he had set in advance in his vision, and then he would be released “to do for his home” and to prepare them for higher education. In the meantime, he shut himself up so as not to waste precious time in idle conversation, and would talk little and do a lot of work. But as a son of the homeland, he fulfilled his duty in the Gadna and the special platoon of the district. At his party parties, he went beyond his stiff skin and excelled in his sharpness and wit. In the winter of 1948, at the outbreak of the War of Independence, he took part in the defensive and combat operations of his unit in the Alexandroni Brigade and recently went on a battle for Tira in the Sharon region, where he fell on 4 May 1948. Pinchas’s burial place is unknown. A monument was erected in his memory in the military section of Tel Mond and in the Garden of the Missing on Mount Herzl. This fallen hero is a “maklan” – a hero whose burial place is unknown.
