Esther and Gad’s eldest son. Baruch Snir was born in Tel Aviv on the 12th of Tishrei 5740 (October 12, 1979). When he was twelve, his brother, Shai, was born. Shortly afterwards, the father of the family, Gad, died, and since then the mother raised her two children alone. Snir studied in Tel Aviv. He attended the Ussishkin elementary school, went on to Ironi Hey High School and graduated from Ankori High School. During his studies, Snir was an active member of the Hanoar Haoved movement. From his youth, he also loved the sea, so he joined the “Sea Scouts” troop on the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, and even planned to serve in the naval commando unit. Oren, a friend of Snir since the elementary school days, said: “I met Snir at the age of eleven, a shy boy who came to the Ussishkin school where I studied, and immediately we got together and had a wonderful childhood, we built a camp together on a tree in the Yarkon, We played basketball and we were together all day together, a tall, dark-haired young man with long hair covering his face and beautiful eyes, and he only refused a few days before he was drafted, and then a handsome young man was discovered, and Snir was a quiet guy who spoke little but was always on your side. When you needed his help, he knew how to reach out when needed and be a friend as a brother. ” Another friend remembered: “We decided to build a camp on a tree, we were four, Snir, Oren, Tzlil and I. We would go there every day for a few refractories, a little planning on how to build another floor, Or playing football, or baseball with planks and wooden blocks, we would make bonfires and bring music, someone brought a playboy, and that’s how we spent two summers and one full year in between. We have to rebuild everything … “The friends say that beyond the games stood Snir’s seriousness, which always advocated” doing everything properly, with professionalism, and without sub And assumptions. “Adulthood little he used to work during vacations, school holidays and later on leave, and thus relieve the household economy. Snir finished high school and was drafted on 03.17.1998. Oren recalls: “Snir was a tall, dark-skinned man with long hair covering a pretty face and blue eyes … We did not want him to get cut … He did not agree. Although he was an orphan from a father, Snir did not ask for any army discounts, he was assigned to the Golani infantry brigade and served as a combat soldier in Battalion 13. “During his service Snir was promoted to the rank of sergeant,” said Lieutenant Colonel Nir, his commander. Which helps Snir aspire to contribute and volunteer, and for all of us was a devoted and supportive friend. Snir was first and foremost a man who enlisted to help those around him in every problem they encountered on their military path. Despite his difficulties, Snir chose to continue his role as a combat soldier in the company. “During his service, Snir spent a lot of time in Lebanon and took part in the battles, including in Rihan and in its activities. He was also in the last convoy of evacuees stationed in May 2000, when Israel returned to the international border. Lebanon passed through the village of Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, 18.11.2000, during a clash with a terrorist while guarding the greenhouses of the settlement. Snir’s friend, Sergeant Rishon Sharon Shitobi, was seriously injured in a clash and died in hospital two days later. Snir was twenty-one when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, Tel Aviv. Snir left a mother and brother. Major General Yom Tov Samia, GOC Southern Command: “SnirYou are beautiful, tall and with a charming smile. You chose the road with pride and faith, without whining. “On the first day of the fall of Snir, his comrades wrote:” Snir, my brother, it has been a month and so hard without you. Everyone misses you, looks at the pictures and experiences from the past. There were such beautiful periods together. Everyone in the company was looking for the quiet, funny, funny boy who was always there when needed, who helped and supported. You were so perfect, a figure of esteem and admiration … We are still standing erect and firm in front of the enemy in front of us, ready every second to strike hard on his head, hitting as hard as possible. But no blow will cure the pain, it’s like an open wound that will not heal, that will always carry on with us, that time will only make it harder and harder … When you enter the company headquarters you are seen with an occupying look, a look that indicates strength and strength, Stay strong, do not give up. ‘ Snir, our brother, remember you always, love you forever. “Esther, Snir’s mother, wrote:” My dear son was a noble, beautiful and beautiful-looking figure. With a virtue that was considered soon and far away, ran to the aid of the weak, needy, modestly – the salt of the earth was. And how many yearning for the great embrace, his noble image, his eerie laugh that filled the house with joy and joy. Eternally carried in our hearts the image of my dear son Baruch Snir, resting in heaven. May it be my wish that peace and tranquility be in our country and in our world. “Itay David wrote the song” My Soldier “in the name of Snir’s mother:” The long time that has passed you is the one that took you to him / Illusions I’m trapped He’ll heal / And sometimes I believe it happens / Relaxing. // The friends suddenly grow up Over the years they grow up / They come and hug like they have not been years / Those children have become parents Suddenly everyone looks different / And only you stay my boy You are my love. // Gd keeps close to all the innocent children / And he looks at you every day and probably signifies to come / because you have shyness for the most part and hugging and caressing a lot / A conquering smile You wear / in this kindergarten you are always the most beautiful./ Many days with thoughts I fight tears / You stay close to me, when you close my eyes see you / The memory is strong and the cone is left / But inside there is distress and anguish that never ends. Do not worry, my dear son, I am still strong / And God sent me a gift that now protects me / He is already great, reminds you, and for me it is a gift / protect us from the heights of my beloved darling. “Gd keeps close to all the innocent children, and he looks at you every day and certainly signs to come because you have the most shyness and hug and caress a lot / you occupy an occupying smile. In this kindergarten you are always the most beautiful.”
