Granot, Dror

Ben Hanna and Dov, Efrat and Einat’s younger brother. He was born on the 3rd of Sivan 5743 (3.6.1983) in Kfar Sava, where he grew up and was educated. Dror studied at the “Aran” elementary school, the “Shazar” junior high school and the high school of science at the Galili high school, a child with infinite curiosity, an amazing memory, who loved playing with his sisters in detective games, “It was clear that the egg preceded the chicken, which was that dinosaurs were chickens and some They had hatches from eggs – that’s why the egg preceded the chicken. “Dror had a phenomenal memory and when he was interested in the subject, examined it thoroughly, He learned many things about it: books, music, sports, computers, politics, health, geography, the environment, nature, animals, the human body, the dangers of smoking, and more. For many years he participated in YISI (Knowledge-Oriented Children) for gifted students in Kfar Sava. In this framework, he enriched his knowledge and studied subjects from various fields. “I define myself as curious, shy, naughty, a little annoying, a little insolent, intelligent and kind, and a man who left a lot of impression on me is Yitzhak Rabin, and why? ? He was an excellent chief of staff who inflicted a defeat on his enemies and then became prime minister seeking peace at all costs.Not many people can have two periods of life with such opposing views in important positions such as chief of staff and prime minister. I want to see myself in ten years as a millionaire, living in a villa in Herzliya Pituah, with a Jaguar. But I see myself engaged, studying for a master’s degree in computers and living in a rented apartment in Tel Aviv. In addition, I want to add to myself that I enjoy life and no one and nothing can destroy them. “Dror has a rare intellectual ability to articulate things clearly and sharply, and everything in his life is done in search of meaning, with thorough and profound examination and with the highest commitment. To discuss and argue about God and its meaning to the believer and the lack of faith, and to examine the concepts of social justice and equality of rights, he was willing to convince his righteousness with great fervor and to fight adamantly for the subjects he believed in. When he grew up, Dror became a light-haired, blue-skinned boy He wanted to prove that it was possible to defend the homeland without sacrificing respect for human dignity, so he gave up summons to intelligence units and began to train and invest a great deal of effort And Dror was able to change as a fairy tale swan, and from a thin, skinny boy he became a strong and wide-eyed young man.In July 2001, Dror joined the IDF and was assigned to the Givati ​​Brigade. He was trained as a combat soldier in the “Rotem” Battalion and went on to a squad commanders’ course at the end of the course. Dror wanted each of his soldiers to feel pride in the heart as he himself did, and he wanted to give them the feeling that they had become male combat boys, first-rate fighters proudly carrying the purple beret. He jealously guarded the rights of his apprentices, but he also made sure to educate them to fulfill their obligations. Dror followed each soldier in the eye and examined the achievements and weaknessesWhich should be strengthened. His full dedication to the position was expressed in his many hours of work, not only at the base but also at home. Among other things, he prepared a computerized tracking sheet that included all the details of his trainees from basic training. Lieutenant Colonel Ilan was impressed by the manner in which he carried out surveillance of his soldiers and made it part of the training doctrine of the base commander. Today, every trainee in the officers’ training course receives a kit of qualifications, which is a collection of all of the follow-ups conducted by Dror, and enables an accurate picture of the entire class and of each of the soldiers … The file was written under the inspiration of Sergeant Dror Granot, His soldiers as his greatest asset and so he treated them. ” Dror’s commanders assessed him as a serious commander with high thinking abilities. According to them, Dror “was endowed with inner patience and quiet, which attracted many friends.” Dror considered options for promotion as part of a senior officers ‘or officers’ course, his commander said. On the last night of his life, Dror proudly and lovingly accompanied the soldiers of his platoon to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Itzik, one of his soldiers, said: “… I and all those present that day felt that for you, too, this is an important and proud day – even though you have already passed this ceremony … you felt happy and proud when you saw how your soldiers ended the arduous journey. Like men, swear on the Bible to the IDF … “. The day after the ceremony, on Friday morning, Dror met with his sister Efrat at a coffee shop and told her about his ambition to study medicine after his discharge from the army – a profession that matches his skills and values. The sky was the limit for such a brilliant, original, ambitious fellow. The symbol of Dror Granot fell during his service on January 31, 2003, and he is nineteen and a half years old. He was laid to rest in the Kfar Saba military cemetery. On his tombstone were written the words: “Light unto us, release us, and do not miss Father, Mother, Efrat and Einat.” Dror’s lovers parted from him in lists, letters and poems that were written and read on the memorial evenings on the anniversary of his fall. On the first anniversary of his downfall, his mother spoke: “I stand on your grave and my heart goes up in flames … The light of the memorial candle is shining on the windowsill … The blue eyes with the piercing gaze are looking at me. Now, I stand in your empty empty room and do not understand where all the laughs and smiles have disappeared, your books look at me orphaned, the CDs you like to hear are no longer playing, and the scarf of the Hapoel Haifa football team hangs shyly in the corner of the room. At the same time, his good friend Gideon said: “A whole year has passed without a sparrow … A whole year without laughter on the phone, rolling laughs that still echo within me after months, days and hours in which I find myself remembering you. … conversations that we could be dragged into hours of debate and discussion and finally not understand who won because we have long lost the original subject .. a whole year without the closest and best adviser I had … You could never help and give advice … A whole year of talking about my best friend in the body has passed. ” Tami Malka, the faithful caretaker who raised Dror and his two sisters and accompanied the family throughout the years, wrote: “My Dror – we did not kill you, I did not carry you in my womb, I did not breastfeed you, I did not wake you up at night to cover and heat, To you, in my heart and in my soul, my soul, you were one of my beloved sons and even more … ” The commander of the Rotem Battalion, Dror Razor, said: “In a detailed observation of each fighter, one can clearly see the fingerprints of the person who raised and shaped the warrior at the beginning of the road, and there, Dror, your personalityFelt and clear. A modest, decisive, critical and charismatic personality. You were a fanatic commander of your soldiers – in the positive sense of the word. … Personally, your character accompanies me significantly along the route, especially in making decisions related to caring for the individual. “Yair, Dror’s friend from the school period, wrote:” … always when I spoke with Dror I felt that I had an interest with a sharp and clever head, Learn something new from him. … Dror, you were an amazing friend and I learned so much from you. I will always remember your composure and how you quietly told me about the difficulty, but also about the tremendous satisfaction you experienced in commanding soldiers that you were a father and mother. Stay with me forever. May you be blessed, “wrote Margalit, Dror’s aunt: You always smelled a smile on your heart, / You always poured us a mixture of happiness and goodness, / You always mixed a mixture of silence and storm, / You always showed us a look of beauty Internal and external // Burning your life in your memory / Burning our memory in your life // Call you Dror / And now – You are a great light / The light accompanies us in our walk / Millions of lines of light connect us // Shalom Dror-Or Yakar. On the third anniversary of his downfall, his mother wrote: “… the enormous gap between your frozen image and the life that continues with courage, rips me off every day … It is hard for me to bridge the two parts of the torn, I learn to bridge this bridge every day, learn to climb after falls, learn to hold on to every rock and hope, learn not to drown in the sea of ​​tears and grief … I must also relate to the hopes and feelings in the flowing part My life: A new generation has come, we have a generation, Efrat and Michael are responsible for the birth of the new generation. The hope for the next generation, which is renewed. ” Dror was immortalized at a ceremony held at his base to mark the end of his basic training and advanced training. The commander spoke: “We came here with you, at the beginning of your path as fighters, in order to wish each of you a successful way, in the name of Dror. We chose to perpetuate the memory of our Dror, here at the end of our advanced training, and to give you a gift that we hope will make it even easier for you to continue your service … We are confident that we are fulfilling Dror’s desire to be in your heart, .
