Son of Rene and Simcha z “l, was born on November 2, 1944 in Giv’atayim, where he studied at the Gordon elementary school in his hometown, and then went on to graduate from the Kalai High School “On the one hand, he was a mature boy in his soul, and on the other hand he liked to play and play like other children, especially Danny, who was playing sports in the school yard, soccer and basketball. He played in the basketball team of “Hapoel Ramat Gan-Givatayim.” Danny was a good student, but more than that he was an interested and curious student, and his educators in the various classes noted him as a very intelligent boy, In particular, he was praised for his kindness, his willingness to help others, his honesty and his ability to listen to others, gained many friends, and was a sacred value to his friends. When he was still in elementary school, Danny joined the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement, but did not continue his activities and left, and when he was in ninth grade, he returned to the Borochov nest, and eventually became a movement leader. . At the same time, Danny decided to join the Nahal Afik group, which was meant to integrate into Kibbutz Kfar Hahoresh, and was drafted into the IDF in mid-October 1963. After basic training and a year of training at Ginnegar, he was sent to a course for combat medics and completed his training He served as a combat medic in the paratroopers’ battalion, and during his regular army service, Danny completed his agricultural training period and was discharged as a member of Kibbutz Kfar Hahoresh. At the beginning of his career in the kibbutz he worked in the orchard, and for a while he even coordinated the industry. Afterward, Danny spent a long time in a bakery in Kfar Hahoresh. Along with his work in the bakery, he also served as a marketer of her produce. From the beginning, Danny took a very active part in the kibbutz’s social life. When he was still “fresh” in the kibbutz and later a young man (about twenty-four years old), he was elected secretary of the kibbutz. In his work as secretary, he laid the foundations for completely different working patterns. Danny excelled in order and organization, knew how to listen to friends and convince them, and was open to change. As for his years as a secretary in the agriculture, his friends say: “You remember Danny as a man who has peace of mind, does not know how to be angry, raises a voice, navigates the meetings purposefully, with discretion and with the ability to cut things. The person inside the man opposite him, the ability to listen and convince, people believed in him, Danny was the kind of person who is everywhere and moves things in almost every field. “Danny and his work continued beyond the period of his being active,” added one member of the kibbutz. In 1969 Danny married his girlfriend Michal, and the two managed to build a warm and loving home for them. During their marriage they had three daughters and two sons. Danny was an exemplary family man-a caring husband and father. He made wonderful friendships with his children. In the kibbutz they tell him that he always had a child on his shoulders and that he devoted all his free time to the family. That was how he took care of his mother, too. After his father died, Danny made sure to talk to her on the phone every day. During his years in the kibbutz, Danny served twice as secretary, instructed various seeds and was sent, on behalf of the kibbutz, to serve as the coordinator of the training department of the kibbutz movement. His involvement continued even when he returned home. They continued to come to him and consult him on various matters, of which he had great knowledge. Even when he was secretary of the agriculture, he continued to work every week on Thursday night, BeitzWare in the bakery. Although he spent many hours working in the kibbutz, he managed to complete his BA in Orientalism and Political Science at the University of Haifa. To do this, Danny would wake up early every morning for the first shift in the bakery, and immediately afterward would rush to the university. Even though he was wounded in the Yom Kippur War and was able to move to a rear unit, he continued to serve as a combat paramedic in the paratroopers’ battalion. He never dodged and did not take advantage of the possibility of canceling reserve service, even when there was a load of work on the kibbutz. Danny describes the man as one of the kibbutz members: “A special character was Danny, who came to us from an urban home with his comrades in the Nachal group. Young and Yaffa, fresh and abundant. Danny not only came, he led, he also influenced and impart values that will be nurtured in his home. Values of a Zionist home. Danny was one of the founders of the founding Zionist movement, and he bore all the traits of the classical pioneer, who works by internalizing the value of physical labor. Modest and simple day-to-day life, with unusual phenomena and bread. We will remember the attribute of responsibility and devotion. When the military chronicle of Israel’s wars is written, pages will be found about the sergeant Danny, a company medic, who courageously and resourcefully helped others and saved lives. Soldiers tell wonderful stories, and we have proof from home. On June 6, 1982, Danny was invited to join a tank battalion in Lebanon, and a few days later, the paratroopers were sent to conquer a hill that controlled the village of Beit Lahiya. On June 10, 1982, Daniel fell in battle in Lebanon and was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery at Kibbutz Kfar Hahoresh, leaving behind a wife and five children, a mother and a sister. A booklet in his memory, containing the words of friends and family about his character, works he wrote, as well as fragments of conversations from a seminar held by the Nahal in memory of him.
