Oren, son of Margalit, and Amnon was born on November 23, 1952, in Nahariya, as a member of Kibbutz Gesher Haziv, where he joined his parents, who went on a mission to the United States and Canada, where he began his first year studies. After graduating from the Gesher Haziv school, Oren completed his high school studies at the Sulam-Zur regional school, where he encountered many difficulties in absorbing the company when he returned to the kibbutz, but overcame them and soon became an active member of the company. He was gifted primarily in the humanities, though in fact he was attracted to the scientific fields, and he excelled in learning English, reading He studied literature in general and devoted much of his free time to reading books, and was especially fond of poetry, and after completing his high school studies, Oren prepared a final paper on research and research on poultry breeding habits in the Indian industry in the kibbutz In which he spent many hours, and did not spare his free time after school and on vacation days, when he submitted his work to the Bar-Ilan University competition and Oren received a prize. Oren nurtured the love for Thanksgiving at the beginning of his high school years, when he began working in this industry. He invested great effort in his work, and mainly tried to understand, learn and absorb as much as possible. Another area where Oren was involved was sports. He was a member of the kibbutz basketball team. In Hapoel, there was sailing, but his main activity was long distance running. He discovered that he had talent and endurance, and was very successful in this sport. He won the first prize in running for Yiham, the second prize in the Tabor race and the fifth prize in the Mount Carmel race. In addition to all this he liked to sing and accompanied himself by playing the guitar. Despite his many occupations, Oren found time to cultivate the kibbutz’s young sons, and for two years worked as a teacher in the elementary school. He took care of his apprentices not only during the activities, the games and the walks, but also accompanied them in daily life on the kibbutz and followed their social development. He was able to do so by creating rapport and friendship, and eliminating the distance between mentor and apprentice. His attitude toward instruction was part of his loyalty to the kibbutz and his full involvement in his social life. This involvement was expressed both in the life of the agriculture and in the limited social life of his peers. He was one of the activists in the class and represented the company in the division and on the school committees. He had a period of extensive public activity during which he made connections with friends from other interfaces and participated in all the activities of the Division and the school. He used to take part in every conversation and debate and set himself a position on the problems of the kibbutz and the world. Despite his involvement in social life, Oren was an individualist, and this was his most prominent feature. He thought, expressed opinions and always acted as he saw fit, even against the commonplace in his company. One of the things that was different from the rest of his classmates was his affinity to tradition and his interest in the religion of Israel and the holiday and time. On Yom Kippur and holidays, he used to go to pray in the synagogue and this practice emphasized his integrity with himself and his sincerity. Oren excelled in great openness. Thanks to this openness and the interest he showed in the life and sensitivity of others, along with his sensitivity, he gained a wide circle of acquaintances – especially among the Yaffa sex, with which he had great success. As the eldest son, he felt a great responsibility for his family – especially after his parents separated. He made a strong connection with his parents and his brothers and used to spend long hours with them, out of love and loyalty and a feeling of brotherhoodDeep vein. He also nurtured a very close relationship with his father-if he was more like his adult and interests. Oren was drafted into the IDF in mid-February 1971 and volunteered for a Paratroopers’ Paratroopers Training Course, and was sent to a course for infantry officers, who did not finish the course and was transferred to serve in the Sayeret Haruv. Oren did not like the rigid framework of military life, and sometimes encountered difficulties, both in the paratroopers ‘patrol and in the officers’ course, because he was naturally averse to blind discipline, without self-conviction and full recognition of the necessity and readiness of things. He continued to maintain his individuality and openness, was cheerful and cheerful and at the same time was responsible and serious in carrying out every task assigned to him. Oren was always ready to help anyone, both during difficult training periods and in daily life in the army. On vacations from the army, he usually went to his kibbutz and always tried to meet with his friends and spend time with them. He spent a lot of time with his brother, traveled with them and spent many hours with them. On long vacations he would travel to various places to visit those close to his Lev – to the kibbutz, to Jerusalem, where his father lived, to his friends in other farms. In the Yom Kippur War, Oren participated in the battle against the Egyptians on the Sinai front. On October 24, 1973, Oren was hit and killed by an Egyptian sniper rifle while he was going to rescue the wounded west of the canal, on the embankment at the entrance to Suez. He was brought to eternal rest in the Gesher Haziv cemetery. Survived by his parents, brothers and sisters. After his fall, he was promoted to sergeant. Kibbutz Gesher Haziv published a memorial booklet in his memory, including the words of friends and family about his image, and conversations of classmates, kibbutz members and military service.
