Kantorovich, Avraham (“Avi”)
Son of Meir and Fania, born in Poland, who arrived in Palestine after World War II, as members of the “Liberals” group and were absorbed in Kibbutz Sha’ar Hagolan. Abraham was born on the 28th of Adar I 5708 (February 7, 1948), at the height of the War of Independence. He came into the world after the evacuation of the children of Sha’ar Hagolan, and once again the parents were shaken and shaken until they came to Haifa and settled there. But they thought of a return to the agriculture, and finally the family settled in Tiberias. When Avraham came to school, he studied at the Yesod School there and later attended the Hagalil High School in Tiberias. He was a member of the Scout movement (in the “Kinneret” tribe in the area) and a scouts instructor there. Abraham had a strong tendency to read books and was the “correspondent” of the Scouts newspaper, “True,” in which he published articles on various subjects (such as death, the atomic bomb, killing out of pity) and seamanship. The tribe of Scouts formed its tendency and aspirations for the Yamim and the navy. Abraham had a musical sense and he studied space in the flute and played the accordion. At school he would appear in plays and could be relied upon with a role because success was expected. Abraham always knew, during trips in the mountains, every flower that came his way. He was observant because he said “we must believe.” Among other things, there was a commandment to honor a father and mother in his eyes. He was drafted into the IDF in April 1966 and was assigned to the Navy and successfully passed the courses of the platoon commander and other professional courses until he was in charge of the radar at the Eilat destroyer, where he served. He was always ready to fulfill any mission and to extend any help in order to continue his contribution to a regular family life, and he aspired to advance in his military profession and his room was full of books on the seaboard and books of thought and study. It is possible that the love of the person in which he urged him to know the soul of man and therefore was in his program to study criminology after Shai Well-being from the army. Among his other plans was the plan to transfer the parents’ seat to Haifa, because of his devotion to them, because he was the back of the family in old age and often said: “I will never leave you … I will always make sure you do not miss anything.” He chose a permanent room for his parents and set up a room for his father: “Here Avi can spend a quiet time reading and listening to the radio after everything he has gone through. However, as his mother put it, “everything looked rosy” until the 18th of Tishrei 5721 (October 21, 1967), in which the “Eilat” was drowned by Egyptian missiles in front of the Romanian coast in northern Sinai, and with it Avraham found his death together with His other teammates were brought to rest in the cemetery in Tiberias.
