Dori, Ze’ev (Zeevi)

Son of Yaakov and Shalhevet, members of Ramat Hashofet. He was born on 27.7.1946 in the kibbutz. He completed his studies in elementary school and even attended high school in the educational institution in the Ephraim Mountains. He was a member of Hashomer Hatzair and HaPoel and was considered an athlete gifted with long distance running, light athletics, basketball, etc. Was one of the young men who lacked the rough shell of the sabra. He was gentle, sensitive, and noble. His shy, mischievous smile held in him a wealth of emotions that seldom came to expression. He was silent and did not say much to Rick, but when he opened his mouth, his words were rock-cut, far from routine, and surprising in their frankness in their originality. Was not among the jumpers in his head but in dozens of letters and essays on various subjects reveals all the richness and diversity of his delicate thoughts and feelings and his love for the beauty of nature and man. Loved thought-provoking films, poetic and humane, as well as good and psychological theater; Was influenced by good numbers who helped shape his image. He had a good taste and a good sense of humor and liked to paint and engage in thought. From the dawn of his childhood, he had distinguished himself with a gentle attitude toward everyone; Wanted and always wanted to be among the first, but not at the expense of others. So all his knowledge liked him. In November 1965 he was drafted into the IDF and served in the Golani reconnaissance unit, completing a driving course, a parachute course and a combat unit. In the Six-Day War, despite being in the hospital, he kept in touch with what was going on in the unit. It should be said that he took part in all the operations of the unit. On the 27th of Marcheshvan 5727 (27.11.1967) he fell in the Valley of the Jordan Valley in the course of his duties. He was laid to rest in his kibbutz. On the day they fell they were promoted. In his letter of appreciation and condolences to his parents, the commander of his unit wrote that he “had a strong will, that the military framework was not his character, but he performed every mission with dedication and responsibility while volunteering to perform special tasks. Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet published a pamphlet in his memory bearing his name. In the Yalkut of the sons who fell in Israel’s wars – the fourth volume of “Goily Ash” – was brought from his estate.
