Alexander (Alex), son of Esther and Yitzhak Gora, was born on 28 July 1938 in Tel Aviv. When he was about two years old, he moved with his family to one of the neighborhoods of Bnei Brak, where Alex and his friends found fertile ground for tricks and mischief. As a member of the labor movement, he was sent to study in a school of the Workers’ Stream, and it was therefore natural that he began his activities in the Hanoar Haoved movement at an early age. During the entire period of school he tried to combine studies with movement activities, and this explains why he chose to go to the “New High School” in Tel Aviv after graduating from elementary school.

He worked for two years on the fishing boats “Nachshol” and “Gal Oz” and with the elimination of the fishing sector in the agriculture, was sent to study body culture at the Kibbutzim College in Tel Aviv. During his studies, Alex joined the Histadrut Dance Company, with whom he performed at festivals in Israel and abroad, and at the same time was a counselor in the Hanoar Haoved movement, where he returned to the kibbutz and went on to teach and mentor youth.

During his short marriage Alex had two daughters – Inbar and Ya’ara. He was a “crazy” father, raising his daughters and caring for them, including those usually reserved for mothers only, turned him into a real “hobby.” His character, as it is engraved in the memory of those who knew him, and a little of which the reader can perhaps draw with his soul, with the help of this short list of sources and actions, is of the great-life-loving Sabra, with great energy and vigor, . On the sixth of October, at the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, Alex made a mission to London and returned to Israel on the first plane, and immediately arrived in his unit, which was included in the 55th Brigade. On October 17, 1973, he fell in Sarafum, west of the Suez Canal.
