Goldfarb, Moshe

Son of Rachel and Shimon, was born on April 11, 1962 in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. As a boy, he urged his parents to go to Israel, because he wanted to be a citizen of the country from his youth. His parents agreed to his request and in 1937 they sent him to study at the agricultural high school in Pardes Hannah. After two years, the whole family came to Israel and he stopped studying and devoted himself to caring for his parents’ orchard. He successfully fought the material difficulties created by the outbreak of World War II and with his great labor brought the orchard to prosperity. In 1941, he enlisted in the Palmach, completed a course for commanders and trained and trained a period after class. In 1944 he was released because of illness but continued to teach heavy weapons in Tel Aviv. He was fond of his friends and apprentices and among them they would mark him with two titles: “good boy” and “good boy.” After the UN General Assembly resolution on the partition of the country and the outbreak of the War of Independence, he was drafted into the Palmach with reservists. As commander of convoys to Jerusalem, he excelled with courage and organizational and commanding ability. He was sent to escort a convoy to Gush Etzion, took part in a battle near Nabi Daniel, managed to break through to the bloc and remained in the defense of the place. Moshe rejected the opportunity to return by plane to Tel Aviv. He went on to do battles and disrupt Arab transport on the main road, and used his friends to scorn the fear. While preparing a plan to return to conquer the Russian monastery, he was hit on the 5th of Nissan, 5708 (August 1948) along with several friends by a shell that hit the tent and fell. On the 17th of Cheshvan 5710 (17.11.1949) he was transferred to the eternal military cemetery at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
