Ben Anat and David. He was born on 28.8.1975 in Jerusalem. The eldest son of the Levy family, an older brother of two younger sisters. Yossi’s childhood began in Jerusalem and Kfar Sava, and then began studying at the elementary school in Kfar Szold and continued in the Yad Giora junior high school in Herzliya. In high school, he moved with his family to the Bnei Yehuda community in the Golan, where he studied at the Nofei Golan High School in Katzrin in the scientific-technological track. As early as his childhood, the characteristic characteristic of Yossi was curiosity. First he asked, then dismantled, then studied reading. As a young child, who did not understand the meaning of the word “danger” – touched, tried, destroyed – at the height of innocence. His mother says: “When he grew up, we knew that an old device would not be thrown in. Yossi would already benefit from it: or dismantle it in order to understand how it operated, or use its parts to build something new, or simply improve its mission with its great wisdom, experience and knowledge. The rabbi who acquired from external stimuli. ” The books were Yossi’s great love. He read endlessly-both literature and professional literature. The first computer his parents bought when he was nine. Until now, the computer screen has been used as a television screen in Yossi’s parents’ home, after it was renovated. As a child, his next step could never be expected. Pranks chased tricks, but you could not be angry at Yossi, the graceful smile on his face – mixed with both pleasure and apology – broke them all. Yossi quickly became the source of admiration and the greatest learning for his two sisters – Shlomit and Roni. In the beginning, in addition to pranks, later in lectures on life, girls and boys, later in counseling on the subject and of course, excellent teacher of physics, mathematics, computers and many other areas – they presented the problems and he drew the solution – easy! At home, from an early age, all electronics were the responsibility of Yossi – operating instructions, regulations, repairs. On Saturdays, when he came home from the army, a list of chores was waiting for him. From the kibbutz school Yossi came to Herzliya – a kind of good boy in Jerusalem, “neat, smart and reasonable, a curl falls on his forehead just like that – everything according to the rules,” his friends say. But soon, the look of the good boy turned into a “mischievous, cynical, and mischievous” look. The neat hairstyle gave way to a regular face and Yossi and his friends founded Disco Pop. Yossi, with his excellent hands, built lights. From that they took a tape recorder and speakers, and there they were, on all the party parties. On his annual trips, Yossi Kiffin among the rocks, helped carry bags. He did not sing, did not take pictures, did not deviate from common sense, God forbid. When Yossi was with us, there was “security, justice and wisdom,” says his friends from Herzliya. Tall, tall, well groomed – a penetrating and graceful look, a loyal friend. This is how Yossi came to the Golan Heights, to the 11th grade in the Bnei Yehuda community in the Golan Heights, where his friend, Hagar, recalls: “Life with Yossi was filled with laughter, wisdom, challenges. … He had an amazing smile, an irresistible smile. … Yossi knew and loved to dress. He had a special taste and style. … One of his favorite pastimes was cinema. … When Yossi decided that they were studying, no excuses helped me. I just sat and studied. Later, when he was in the army, he sat and taught me – no more and no less – to navigate. “Yossi always trusted himself and his ability, he aspired to learn, not only to improve, but to reach the best. The matriculation exams, we studied together. … The books were on the floor, and we sat to see ‘Just a Moment’ in a video, or ‘Just for a second’ jumping to the Sea of Galilee. … But for some reason, it did not affect Yossi’s grades. It would seem that things flowed into him without learning. “Being self-sufficient and buying on his own whatever he wants. He claimed that every job respected its owners and thus set up barbed wire fences around the Dugit beach, all dripping with sweat in forty degrees in the shade, to save some money before enlistment. After graduating with honors, Yossi began training for his induction. Yossi, who was sure of himself and his ability, aspired to serve in an elite commando unit and to give himself the maximum. In December 1993, Yossi enlisted in the IDF and joined the Sayeret Matkal commando unit, after undergoing the heavy hurdles. A year later, Yossi left for an officer’s course and at the end of a strenuous half-year of studies and training he completed the course as an outstanding officer and was assigned, at his request, to the Egoz reconnaissance unit. At the beginning of his career, he trained novices and after a period of internal necessity, Yossi moved to operational activity, first as a team commander and very quickly advanced to a deputy company commander. Yossi’s friends for numbers, who was a professional officer with high physical ability and an incorrigible perfectionist, And he always made sure to call home, to ask for the safety of his parents and sisters, and not to arouse their concern. “Amir said,” A few years ago, Two Egoz soldiers were killed during an operation in Lebanon. Yossi was supposed to be there, but in the end he did not go out on the operation. We were both at home the next Friday, and he wanted us to go out and have some fun. But on the way there we talked only about the matter – militarily. On the way back, Yossi broke down, began to cry and spill everything. The pain, the fear, the uncertainty, and the regret. I stopped in one of the rounds on the way from Elhamma up and we stood outside. Yossi did not stop crying and talking. He did not understand how it could be that ‘we did everything right’ and yet people fell. Tried to find reasons, explanations, and again we returned to the issue of responsibility. We talked about the pain of parents, families, friends. We talked about our coping, the commanders. On how we should do everything in order to bring our home back to normal. So, he was so hurt. We stood there in the middle of the night, hugging the side of the road, and he did not stop crying. I was in the middle of my preparations for going to Lebanon and one of the things he told me there, I took with me, into this battered country. He told me that no matter how many of our soldiers cried, we must not give up the preparations, the exercises, the briefings and the operational-to the end. To be meticulous about the smallest details – and I promised him and myself … “The commando commander wrote:” Yossi had the image of a leader. An admired figure worthy of imitation. He has always performed his tasks to the best and demonstrated professionalism, a high personal level, striving for perfection and excellence. Yossi was highly motivated, always believed in the rightness of the road, and thus radiated confidence to his subordinates and commanders. Yossi was an officer, a fighter, a friend and a commander, who contributed to his comrades and shared with him his values, which he brought with him from his parents’ home. “He wrote about Yossi, his commander, Berkovits:” You had everything – as commander, leadership and charisma. … There was also tireless devotion, despite the difficulties and fatigue. … drop to the smallest details, very professionally, without question. And you have everything: the Land of Israel, Zionism, brotherhood, love and fire. And there was also a man, a noble soul with a constant smile, upright, tall, real. … unusual knowledge in any field, despite age. … patience and understanding of the surroundings, sensitivity and gentleness. … and all of you wanted it, daughters whom you persecuted and fought, who in your opinion and conversation thirsted. Love, joy and inner peace. “Yossi fell on the 24th of Tevet 5757 (December 24, 1996) from a roadside bomb when he was the commander of the force in operational activity in southern Lebanon.Flo. Who was killed by Sgt. Nir Gendelberg Yossi Natman in the cemetery in Bnei Yehuda, left behind his parents, his sisters Shlomit and Roni and his girlfriend Sivan, and Yossi was promoted to the rank of captain, … I know that you are concerned and not entirely at peace with what I do, and even less with what I am expected to do. … It is important that you know that many times, your knowledge is always there and cares, it is the one that pushes forward. In these troubled times, when all the reality around you seems detached from everything you knew, it is only good to know, from the need of knowledge alone, that what I do is the right thing, according to the education I received … “I feel bad because I want something in me It is hard for you to accept and to make daily reality harder for you … More than at any other time, now, I need this foundation of the house where I grew up, even if sometimes you think I have completely cut off. “He said.
