A young man, average height, with curls and green eyes, who liked to walk dressed in jeans and sandals, was a diligent student, He was an active member of the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed youth movement, devoted himself to guiding young people in the movement and often wrote to the newsletter of the senior class. In his writings and writings, which were preserved by his parents, his great love for the land and his city of Jerusalem is evident and his complete faith in the right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is revealed. Namchu’s devotion (as his friends fondly called him) had earned him many admirers for his friends in the movement and his students. And as he shared his experiences with his friends, they did not forget to share their experiences. Nehemiah was drafted into the IDF in mid-August 1969 and assigned to the Armored Corps, after completing basic training, was sent to the course of the Armored Corps and then continued his course in Armored Corps.

He had a sense of responsibility and never left anything half-made. Everyone knew that Namchu could be trusted wholeheartedly. He was also an excellent professional and knew how to operate the tools entrusted to him, accurately and efficiently. As a loving and devoted son, he wrote many letters full of optimism and humor. He never forgot to mention the packages sent to him and with good humor he also knew how to remark gently, when he did not like the contents of the packages. A new world, full of promises for the future, was revealed to Nemchu after his regular service, when he began his studies at the Hebrew University in economics and international relations.

However, despite the high school load, Namchu did not neglect his activities outside the campus. He loved playing table tennis and chess.
