Goldfun, David (Exile)
Son of-Karina and the physician Shmuel-Zanville was born on 28.4.1926 in Kishinev, Bessarabia, and in November 1934 immigrated to Israel with his parents, who settled in Haifa. David attended the Reali School and later studied technology at the Technion in Haifa. His friends tell of Golah’s quick grasp of his excellence in mathematics, his serenity that covered emotional depths and wealth, his coolness and courage, and his friends who traveled in dangerous places and in difficult situations. “He was always alert and alert and ready to make decisions, even if he objected to them, stormy inside, but outwardly the symbol of quiet and moderation,” his friends said about him. David was a member of the “Scouts” movement and was active in its ranks, joined the Palmach and served as a scout, including participating in the train bombings and infiltration of the Canaan police force, and was among the “black Sabbath” prisoners on June 29, 1946. He spent four months in the Rafah detention camp As a citizen of the Negev, he took part in the Aliyah of the eleven points in the Negev and began to build his future among the pioneers of the Negev, and in December 1947 he was sent back to the Negev with the reserve of the Palmach. He participated in all the operations and in transporting the convoys from Halutsa to Beit Eshel. After completing a sabotage course, he was sent with two classes to lay mines in the village of Haltsa (near Halutza), fearing that his residents who left him would return to him and serve as a basis for cutting off the road between Halutza and Revivim, which also served Beit Eshel and Nevatim. On the second day of Adar I 5708 (February 12, 1948) he laid mines in the western part of the village, and before he covered the last mine he told his friends to move away: “If anything happens, it is better that only one is harmed.” David was the only one to crash. He was laid to rest in the Revivim military cemetery.
