Goren, Yigal (“Yagali”)

Son of Zvi and Batya. His mother was one of the founders of Kibbutz Hulata. He was born on May 3, 1948 in the kibbutz. He graduated from elementary and high school in his kibbutz. He would say very kindheartedly and a daughter whose chest did not move from his lips. It is full of joy and joy of life. He was cheerful and the guys liked him and were willing to forgive him a lot of things. But with all the jokes and humor he had, he could delve into serious things, such as the pursuit of justice. Once, in a discussion of the “climate” in kibbutz society, Yigal fought for a social “climate” equal to every person in every job. In particular, Yigal excelled in woodwork. In the art classes, there was the method that everyone would do as he pleased and as he planned his work. But Yigal said: “I want to disqualify” – and the first job he did was head. Although this statue was felt disproportionate but the features were accurate. His second job was a hand – and looking at the big log he said: “This flood of wood will reach out – and this hand will hold a grenade.” He was also engaged in painting. His kindness created a warm atmosphere in his room and enveloped all his friends who came to him. In November 1966 he was drafted into the IDF and succeeded as a lieutenant colonel. He did it his own way and made good achievements, out of concern for each of the class without difficulty and without personal problems. He was original in his manner, and once, before the reservists went out to ambush, according to his story, one of them felt a pat on his back and when he turned it was Yigal and his pat was accompanied by a worn-out daughter. He served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years, and no more, on September 6, 1968, when he died on the tractor he was driving on, when he was on vacation at home and joined the cotton transport. On the day of the “thirty” for his fall, his kibbutz issued a booklet in his memory called “Yigal”.
