Since he was a member of various circles – such as the Society for the Knowledge of the Land, for the Protection of Nature, etc. – he was aware of what was happening in them, just as he was aware of what was happening in Israel and around the world.

Your son Yossi will be engraved in my memory as a member of the good ones – – – Yossi was a paramedic and a helperTo man and such a fallen-kneed, by a cruel man. I used to think that a man’s war on man would be a war of paramedics and relief, more than a war of conquerors-a war for medicine and not for destruction. He excelled in an inexhaustible willingness to help, a deep recognition of the role – and was a favorite of those around him.

His memory was included in Aggeret, the weekly of the Union of Groups and Kibbutzim (Elul Booklet) and booklet A of the group’s dialect (Adar II 5706).
