He was born on the 9th of Tishrei, 5747 (October 4, 1946) in Moshav Aloni Abba, and grew up in Moshav Yogev, where he was involved in nature and agriculture, and everything he did in the kibbutz was made out of love and devotion. Good literature and listen to music, especially he liked the music of “I believe” to T. Tchernichovsky In November 1964 he was drafted into the IDF and volunteered for the paratroopers. Nothing was too difficult for him, and he went through his hard training in good spirits, admired his commanders, and came home on holiday with joy. After his discharge from the army he managed to stay at home for only two months and worked and finished the harvest until the end of spring, which was the last of his life. In the days of alert before the Six-Day War, called to reserve duty; Both his older friends and his father were recruited at the same time. When he left, he was sure of his steps and proud of what he had done, but when he wrote letters home they were suffused with worry and longing as if he had grown up in ten years. Among his belongings was a postcard intended to be sent after the battle, apparently, but which the parents did not receive. In a battle that took place in Jerusalem, the capital on the second day of the war, he fell on the 27th of Iyar 5727 (June 6, 1967); It was between the police school and Ammunition Hill. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. In the book “Marinas Gabro” of the Paratroopers Headquarters was devoted a page to his history and description of his last battle. His memory was mentioned in a booklet issued by the Jezreel Regional Council.
