Kadmon, Elad

Son of Yitzhak and Daughter of-Sheva. He was born on October 4, 1949, in the group of Hasolelim in Ra’anana. Before the group settled in the Galilee, the parents moved to Magdiel. He received his early education (in the kindergarten) in Magdiel but he studied elementary school in Ramatayim. In 1963 he began to study high school at the Katznelson School in Kfar Saba. He joined the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement. When he reached the eighth grade of high school, the Six-Day War broke out and he was then on the matriculation exams. Elad knew how to fit into any company, laugh and joke. He had a special pleasure in recording the songs of the parade of songs in a small notebook. The turning point in his attitude towards studies came when he and his friends began to study economics and a political idea. At that time, when he was sitting and talking, he felt the foundations of serious thought and self-thought. Until that time he did not like to participate much in class and avoid any argument; But then he awoke suddenly and began to be aware of what was going on in the classroom. The two areas in which he was interested and in which he wanted to start studying after the army were a political idea and history, which are very relevant. Especially in the period immediately preceding the outbreak of the war and at the time that took place, the concepts of agriculture and state were tangible. As soon as they finished their exams, after the war, in July 1967, he was recruited to the Nahal Brigade in the framework of the Tzihor group of Hanoar Haoved, which completed the Grofit farm in the Arava. “Once again, at the conclusion of the secretariat’s meeting, Elad said after the members:” I think that I have come to the bottom of things and I am willing to bear the injustice and contribute. “To everyone’s astonishment, he asked them to give him positions, in his desire to help Tikkun He was ready to do his best in this direction, and was the center of activity in the nucleus and a month later He had never silenced his rivals when they spoke, and he always gave the impression that the words of others fell on their ears and they were taken into account, he never tried to be the last arbiter, and so he wanted to correct things. And so he gathered a large number of youngsters around him, and many friends were attracted to him. When Zachor’s nucleus ended its role in Nahal Tzofar, he began his advanced training in the parachute Nahal, but on Passover eve, on the 14th of Nissan 5729 (1.4.1969), he fell while serving at the Allenby Bridge in the Jordan Valley, . He was laid to rest at the cemetery in Ramot Hashavim. A booklet called “Elad” was published by his parents and friends.
