Garsiani, Israel

Son of Yosef and Vera. He was born on 10 June 1946 in Kibbutz Mesilot, where he studied at the elementary school and continued his high school studies at Kibbutz Beit Alfa at the Ghetto Fighters’ School, where he was not only a son who respects them but a friend and companion He was not always willing to agree with his parents, and because of his natural integrity he would fight for his truth, perhaps it was these arguments that forged the friendship between the son and the parents, because in his Lev he felt they could understand And with respect to his dilettante and preparation, he knew how to bring strangers closer and strengthen friendships. The person who knew him closely knew that he saw things that others did not see – all kinds of trivialities in nature, between animals and people, and he was often seen in the kibbutz yard dressed negligently, but his figure was radiant He was always willing to do everything for the man he valued and respected, he did not like to be dependent on others and did not tend to pour his Lev in. It was enough to sit with him and hear a few remarks from him in order to know his situation. For him, the kibbutz was a valuable asset and it was forbidden to speak ill of it. Just as it was easy to make him laugh or sing at the top of his voice, it was easy to make him angry – especially by mentioning the kibbutz in a tone of anger and contempt (such as “I leave the kibbutz … I will go and make money abroad”). . Israel was drafted into the IDF in July 1964. Even before the induction, he thought a lot about the army and enlisted in the Nahal Brigade out of a desire to reach the full potential of the IDF. After he finished his training course, he went on a parachuting course and was very fond of the paratroopers’ community and when they once offered him to take the MAZIM course, he responded: “What am I – Jobnik? A security job, but under no circumstances will I leave the paratroopers. ” During the Six Day War he participated in the conquest of the Old City and was one of the first to raise the Hebrew flag on the Western Wall. After his discharge from the army, he was responsible for the security of the farm and as coordinator of the dairy farm, and was called to active reserve duty on July 20, 1969. On July 20, 1969, he fell in the area of ​​the Suez Canal during the shelling of the enemy. He was laid to rest in the cemetery in the tracks. After his fall, a book in his memory was published with a name and a smile on his face.
