From 1956 to 1962 he was in the United States and when he returned to Israel, he studied at the Nir Etzion elementary school. After completing his studies, he studied at the Yeshurun ​​High School in Petach Tikvah, where he studied physics and mathematics. Wrote a work that won a prize in a competition held by the American Embassy’s information service on the topic “How to help developing countries.” In August 1967 he was drafted into the IDF, but on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Nisan 5728 (March 28, 1968) Shlomo Aharon fell near Bir Gafgafa in Sinai and was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. “In all that he touched on the unit, he succeeded and did everything that was entrusted to him with love and perfection, out of a conviction that he derived from the love of the homeland that was planted within him and which he also expressed on various occasions.”
