Dagon, Abraham (“Rami”)

Son of Boaz and Pnina. He was born on 12.4.1950 in Givatayim and studied there at the AD Gordon Elementary School, where the elementary school teachers stood up for his talents and outstanding qualities and saw him as a gifted and gifted student. “In Givatayim, where he was educated and engaged in social activities until he was drafted into the army, he was diligent in his studies and active in society and did more than his duty as a boy, student and member of the movement. Photography, literature and music, to which he devoted most of his spiritual energy, but at the same time began to instruct And his desire to “integrate the sickle and the sword,” as he wrote in one of his letters, led him to decide that he would do his army service in the framework of the Nahal Brigade. Rami was drafted into the IDF in July 1968. He was sent to a sabotage course before completing the course, and was therefore unable to join the other members of the nucleus who served in the Nahal Brigade. Rami found another way to fulfill his ambitions and went on to teach in the framework of the “Halachot”, where he worked in the Geula Tribe in Haifa and taught a group of youth from the Reali School in Haifa, where he invested all his spiritual energy. Being the center of the tribe for only a few months. He was a frequent householder for me – his cooperation with the campers and counselors was very close, not only during the day-to-day activities but in trips, camps, etc. It culminated in the organization of the 10th Jamboree of the movement, held in the summer of 1969 in the son of Shemen Forest, and thanks to its energy, initiative and dedicated and blessed work, the tribe won the Haifa Leadership Cup. Rami’s views and views were formulated in his letters to his sister. In one of the letters he wrote to her: “I am convinced that few of us lack the will to live, or the desire for peace, but we must recognize the justice of our war, we must moderate the manifestations of militarism, but we do not have to take our necks to the slaughter. To understand that you are required to give away your personality and your vacations for the sake of the state, and the prosecution must be internal, with the understanding that you and all the soldiers protect the lives of mothers, babies and old people who want to live in a better world. After the intermediate period, when he was about to be sent to Shlita in Mevo Hamat on the Golan Heights, Rami complained: “Halut and Shalat are not service.” He decided to be more “combatant”. In a few days Rami was appointed secretary of the outpost and his commanders said that he was a disciplined soldier, a responsible man and a loyal friend, who served as an example of diligence in the work of fortifications, fieldwork, training and was trusted and responsible as ” Mediator “between the soldiers and their commanders.In the end of the year, Rami returned to Ram to continue the service in Mevo Hama. He was assigned to work in the vegetable garden, and he and his friend Elhadif (who fell too) were the vegetable centers. Rami referred to his work as he treated each operation and worked with all dedication and energy. Due to illness he had to rest for a few days. But his Lev did not let everyone see the workers “and live at their own expense,” and therefore decided to go to his home in Givatayim. At home he was plagued by the thought that the farm lacked working hands and he was sitting at home while his friends were working. And then there was a pickup truck at Mevo Hamama in Givatayim and Rami decided to return to the kibbutz. Although he had an official permit to rest from his illness, he acted according to his conscience and returned, and on the way he died. He fell on the seventeenth day of March 1971Fulfilling his duties and being put to rest at the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. In “Thirty” for his fall, Kibbutz Mevo Hama published a pamphlet in memory of Rami (and the memory of Yitzhak Elhadif); Toward the anniversary of his fall, the Geula tribe in Haifa established a training library in his honor.
