He was born on the 3rd of Adar I, 5702 (February 4, 1946) in Kibbutz Amram, where he graduated from the educational institution in the mountains of Efraim, was a musician, played flute, piano and guitar, He received a diploma as a sports instructor at the Wingate Institute, and was drafted into the IDF in August 1964, where he served until the day he fell. He was a lieutenant and was a favorite of all the squadrons because of his character, as the squadron commander would say in a letter of condolence to his parents, in which he writes: “One of the best was in the profession he chose and those responsible and good who know what they are going for.” On his plane he was proud until his last day, when he fell in the air battle that took place near the Suez Canal on the first day of the battles of the Six-Day War, on 26 June 1967, he was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. In the collection of “Six Songs for the IDF,” which appeared after the Six-Day War, published by Sover, the song “They Are There” was composed by Yossi Gamzu and composer Yosef Wald, and is devoted entirely to their emir. The tennis association of “Maccabi” in Ramat-Hen holds a tennis competition and the winner is awarded a trophy in his memory and after Amiram.
