Ehud (Udi), son of Miriam and Benjamin, was born on April 14, 1950 in Afula and is a twin brother of Haggai. In 1955 the family moved to Kfar Mordechai. He completed his elementary education at the “Gederot” school together with Hagai, his twin, and completed his high school studies in the “Gedera” school in the humanistic track. A man of letters was Udi, eagerly read, and knew a lot, almost every area, yet slow and calculating, completely lacking ambition and lacking any desire to demonstrate his knowledge. His body was delicate and slightly fragile, and in his character he was withdrawn and withdrawn. The two twins were completely different, both in their exterior and in their character. “If there were strangers,” their father said, “there were no relations between them at all, but Ehud, who loved the family and attached great importance to the peace of the home, maintained pleasant relations with impulsive holidays.” In school, Udi was always portrayed as a peace-seeker and as a child whose actions were done judiciously. “If he had left a religious home,” says his father, “Udi was a rabbi and Dayan in Israel.” It was always clear to me that Hagai – with his developed commercial sense – would take care of the family’s finances, while Udi would keep the peace of the house. Interested in them. ” Ehud was drafted into the IDF in mid-November 1968 and was sent to serve in the Armored Corps, but only when they saw his bent back did they realize that he was not a Pieter, A tank commander’s course and a tank course in the War of Attrition, served on the southern front and was caught in the most difficult situations with his unit. “Udi was never moved by the shelling,” his friends recall. He was sent to a rear base and worked on preparing training manuals for the armored personnel carriers, which was his area In November 1971, Ehud returned to civilian life and did various jobs, and his father tried to get him to work in a “shopping organization.” Udi had an excellent quick grasp, and within a few days he understood the principles of bookkeeping But he was also very pleased with his terrible handwriting, as well as his character, who was not accustomed to boring routine, so he went to the Elta factory where he was very pleased, and was also familiar with the theory of beekeeping. Factory. “We were looking for a staff member for the project,” said his colleagues at Elta, “We were looking for a master in key areas, and it was hard to find a young man with long hands and an adult walk in the fall. Planning, organization, technology, and on every subject that is not clear, he would bring a book with him, discuss and argue with us. Shortly before the outbreak of the war, Ehud conceived an idea for a certain renewal in the hive. At that time he was also about to complete the project he worked on at Alta. He enrolled in a production management course and, when he passed the entrance test successfully, there was no limit to his joy. “He was always optimistic,” says his father. “He would tell me: Dad, do not worry, everything will be fine.” When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Amos, the eldest brother, was called to his armored unit on the Golan Heights. Nurse Ada was a soldier in the Israel Air Force and the twins Hagai and Ehud fought on the southern front. Ehud’s unit went into battle on the first dayTo war. On October 9, 1973, the unit stood against a large Egyptian force in the Hamadiyya compound. In one tank sat four symbols: Amir, Aharon, Ze’ev and Ehud – all experienced tank commanders, who shared the roles in the tank. Behind the “TV” stronghold came many tanks of the Egyptians, who were moving towards our forces, and a shell-armor battle broke out in full force. Egypt had more tanks and all the attempts of the unit to stop enemy attacks were unsuccessful. “We were afraid that Egyptian tanks would reach the slope in front of the compound,” said one of the force’s commanders. “It was a dead area and any attempt to locate them in this area meant a huge danger to every tank.” The commander’s fear of matching. The attacking tanks managed to reach the slope and disappeared from the sight of our tank crews. The difficult decision was unavoidable: the commander ordered the tank division to climb the ridge and take off on the slopes to block the Egyptians. The four of them were in the force of the mission. When they reached the slope it became clear that the enemy was waiting for them. Ehud’s tank remained the last in the field and set fire to the tanks of the Egyptians, who tried to climb the ridge. The results of the battle were almost clear in advance. Finally, one of the Egyptian tanks managed to hit the Israeli tank. His four commanders, including Ehud, were hurt and fell. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Gedot. Survived by his mother, father, brother and sister. After his fall, he was promoted to First Sergeant. Hagai, Ehud’s twin, fell on October 20 to the “Chinese farm” not far from where his brother was killed. On October 9, 1973, at the time of the Egyptian enemy’s attack on our forces in Hamdiya, several enemy tanks managed to reach the hillside where our forces had barricaded themselves. , A tank squadron was sent to the enemy, and the tank that Staff Sergeant Ehud Hacham fought from, and whose crew included only tank commanders, remained the last in the field, fought in the enemy tanks, and managed to hit several tanks until he was hit and his crew was killed. Devotion to purpose, courage and exemplary behavior. ” A memorial list was written in a booklet in memory of the fallen, published by the Fences Regional Council; Two lists were published in the press – one tells about the first four symbols, and the other tells about the two twins. In addition, Hanan Shadmi wrote a poem in memory of the twins, and in two of the verses it says: Hagai and Ehud, twins, two brothers, brothers. They came out of their belly, Hagai and Ehud, twins. “Two of them went out on the way, brothers, a brother in the shoulder of his brother, and he was Hagai, a war cry, and his second son, even me. Hagai and Ehud, twins.
