Elhadef, Yitzhak (“Itzik”)


Son of Haim and Esther. He was born on September 5, 1950 in Haifa. He attended the “Zichron Yosef” elementary school and continued his high school studies at the Reali School – both in Haifa. He was a member of the Scouts movement in the Carmel tribe. Loved nature and landscape and was very active in trips and tours, along with his classmates and spectators. He was also a member of the Association of Nature Lovers. As a result of his many walks, he left behind a diverse collection of fossils he had collected on numerous trips. His loyalty to Sufism led him to the path of realization, which was expressed in his walk to the agriculture. Everyone knew that he would be the first among the youth to decide to go to Nahal, because Yitzhak loved the kibbutz life he had known through the labor camps, trips, and the stories of the counselors, who were eager to join a young kibbutz on the Golan Heights. After completing his studies and staying for three months until his induction, he decided to spend his time in El Hama, where he was the first to establish a close relationship with Hama, and in the end he was drafted into the IDF and volunteered for Nahal. In the army he did a paramedic course, and he completed the course as an outstanding trainee and was often praised Ryo to Nahal-Golan, Yitzhak called his friends more and more, because they all met there. The work served as a refuge from orders and the remaining time, after many hours of work, was devoted to the girl he loved. When he arrived at the entrance to the entrance, he went to work in the vegetable garden. He took upon himself the concentration of the industry and devoted himself to it with responsibility and wisdom. This fact contributed greatly to Yitzhak’s good feeling in the agriculture, a sense of belonging to the place. When he was accepted as a member of the warm-up agriculture, it made a tremendous impression on his friends. Yitzhak did this to break the ice and make it easier for those who followed him to take this fateful step. Yitzhak was an incentive for his fellow members and the stone for the agriculture. Perhaps without him, his friends would not have had the courage to decide as they had decided. He was an excellent social man and had a unique sense of humor. His face was always bright with a smile and a look of light. On the 17th of March 1971, he fell in the line of duty. He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa. The commander of the unit wrote to his parents in a letter of condolence: “Yitzhak left all the good things in the house and the comforts of life in the city to continue the pioneer activity of his forefathers. Isaac was loved and loved by all his friends in the agriculture and showed seriousness and dedication in his love and even won the trust of his friends who forced him to concentrate branch, despite being younger than friends I know that there are no words to comfort parents and bereaved families about the loss of a son or brother before he has had a taste of life For while filling moral duty towards his fellow “. In “30”, Kibbutz Mevo-Hama published a booklet in memory of Yitzhak (and the memory of Avraham Dagon); A fund was named after him as a memorial project, “in memory of the fallen Technion and the teachers of the workers who fell in Israel’s wars.” The fruits of the fund will be used to grant scholarships to teachers and employees who died during their work and whose parents are not allowed, due to age or other reasons, to receive a benefit from the Technion.
