Fried, Moshe

Son of Yisrael and Chana. Born on May 5, 1954 in Ramat Hasharon, he studied at the Golan Elementary School and completed his studies at the Rothberg High School. Was very attached to Ramat Hasharon as a colony and refused to accept the process of transforming it into a city. As an only child, Moshe was treated by his two sisters who cared for him with all his might. At the same time, he grew up as an independent boy of strong character. Every task and task he took upon himself was faithfully fulfilled. Moshe volunteered for every mission and never asked others for what he did not demand of himself. Moshe was a cheerful lad, with a mischievous gaze, loved by his family and connected to them with all his soul. With all the openness and freedom typical of Sabra, he behaved politely and politely to the elderly. In the year before his enlistment, he worked for IMI and took advantage of it in order to advance professionally: Moshe was drafted into the IDF at the beginning of May 1972 and was assigned, as a professional, to the Armament Corps. After basic training he was transferred to a workshop in the Golan Heights and assisted with all his strength and energy to the workshop’s activities. The wild beauty of the Golan Heights fascinated him and he did not stop admiring and telling about it whenever he came for vacation. In the Yom Kippur War, Moshe served in the workshop, working day and night to repair the tools that had been handed over to his care in order to bring them back as soon as possible to the front. On May 14, 1975, Moshe fell in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, leaving behind his parents and two sisters in a letter of condolences to the bereaved family: “Moshe was a technical sergeant in one of the companies In the unit. In this capacity, Moshe saw in his tanks his caregivers and in caring for them he did not distinguish between the day of the week and the holiday or the Sabbath. With concern for his men – the technical squad – Moshe would go so far as to take care of their problems, even the smallest ones, and would try to guide and facilitate each of them. Moshe was an example and a symbol of a man who gives all his strength and energy to the army and Louis and many will be like him … Until the last moment he did not leave the hard-working tanks he devoted to his life for the last three years. “
