Dasberg, Baruch (redhead)

Baruch (red), son of Elisheva and Nathan, was born on the 26th of Iyar 5708 (June 6, 1948) in the city of Hilversum, Holland, and when he was six months old he immigrated with his family to Israel. As a child he was very ill and in danger of his life, but he recovered and became a healthy and strong boy. When they immigrated to Israel, the father was the educational director of the Aliyat Hanoar transit camp, which was established in Netanya in the barracks of a British military camp, and successfully tackled the difficulties of absorbing hundreds of children and youth from Yemen and North Africa. The family wandered a lot in Israel – from Netanya, through Karkur and Kfar Pines to Kfar Batya, while Baruch arrived at Kibbutz Rosh Tzurim. The family with many children, a well-known Dutch family, was a traditionalist and so was Baruch. He did his elementary studies at the state religious school in Ra’anana. He began his high school studies at the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva and continued at the religious high school on Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu. Baruch’s character matched the color of his hair. His red hair was stormy. He hated the lie and hypocrisy, and fought truthfully without compromise. Another trait was his uniqueness – he was candid and said what he thought, without any direct appeal. He never used camouflage and word games to hide a person’s personality. He was a member of the Bnei Akiva youth movement and of the “Elitzur” sports association. Baruch was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in early January 1967. During his service, he underwent a rifle training course, an infantry training course, a parachuting course and a infantry officer course, and participated in the Six Day War. In May 1970 Baruch was discharged from regular service, went to civilian life and returned to his kibbutz, where he held various positions in Kibbutz Rosh Tzurim, where he first worked in the field and then chose to be an aquarium in the kitchen. , Despite the unpopularity of the role, during which he married Irit, and eventually the Simcha couple was born to a daughter named Einav When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Baruch was in reserve duty at the “Oracle” stronghold near the Suez Canal on October 7, 1973. In a battle to stop the Egyptian attacks, he was wounded and fell, and was brought to eternal rest in the Gush cemetery Etzion left behind a wife, a daughter, a mother, four brothers and two sisters, and was promoted to the rank of captain. He was loved by all, “and his commander wrote:” Baruch was a man and a model warrior. In his memory, the family donated a Torah scroll, which was received from the community in Hilversum, Holland, and was given to the synagogue at Kibbutz Rosh-Tzurim.
