His acquaintances defined him as “the salt of the earth” and as a born leader destined for greatness, and in his short life he lived a generation, as if he had lived a generation. “Your parents seem to know that their days on Earth are numbered, so you hastened to do as many good deeds as you can.” Dor was a member of the Scouts movement and an activist in the Meitar tribe. Dor was a handsome boy who grew up to be a charming and noble man, he loved girls and women and they, on their side, were at his door to give him back love. And try to win his heart. Dor loved the land and nature, and whenever he saw him, he would walk and plant the paths of the land.

Six thousand people accompanied Dor on his last journey and testified about a thousand words about the size of his personality and strength. His family wrote in his memory: “To tell about our generation, our dear son, and to say that it was – is still inconceivable … The pain, the anguish, the sorrow at the doom are only intensified every day, as time goes by, longing and longing only grow stronger. From time to time we dream that we will get up in the morning and say to each other that it was just a bad dream, because it did not really happen, and we think that never has been, never! We will not be able to contain a pinch of your actions and actions … We, your parents, sister and friends, should not sink into an overly long-lasting depression and surrender to the fatherI will not persist on you, for this was not your way and your faith in life.
