He studied at the Graz Elementary School, then continued his studies at the Ort Yad-Singalovski High School and completed his studies in the field of telephone and telegraph. Rami reminds his teachers and friends of these years as a prominent youth in his generosity, in his friendly attitude towards others and in his tendency to antics. In his memory, the principal of the school and the educator noted his modesty, his charms and manners, which were combined with the love of life. Rami bravely acknowledged every act of mischief he had done, but because of his kind smile he could not be angry with him for long. Rami’s great love was music and in his spare time he listened to records or played the guitar. He had a precious treasure-a large and Yaffa collection of records. His father recounted how he used to coax and indulge himself every Friday to win a new record for the collection. He read many poetry books and also tried his writing poetry and translation poetry from English to Hebrew, and even drawing his hand. Many of these occupations did not prevent him from playing sports and especially in bodybuilding, and as his brothers and friends note, he was really a “bully.” He was a member of Maccabi Tel Aviv and played basketball. He also practiced weight lifting at the Institute for Physical Development. In 1970 he participated in the “Tel Aviv University” race. Rami was a tall, strong and captivating young man in his appearance. His parents, his brothers, and his sister-in-law had a special connection. He was very proud of his parents and their lineage – of a family of rabbis who perished in the Holocaust. Relations with his parents were very close and based on mutual respect. His brother Moshe and his sister-in-law Tzila loved intense love. Rami tried to be with him as often as possible in order to help him in his studies at the university, and Rami was a very sociable boy who had already devoted his time to organizing social gatherings, and he was attentive to the feelings of others and liked to please those around him.

Even during the war, he made sure to write home encouraging postcards, even though he was in the most difficult sectors of the fighting. He used to spend his holidays in the family, but he did not neglect his friends either. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Rami Tzuar was in the officers’ course.
