Aharon, son of Hanna and David, a Holocaust survivor, was born on June 26, 1950 in Haifa. He studied at the “Tel Hai” elementary school in the Neve Sha’anan neighborhood, continued high school in the Zalman Aran High School, and finished high school in the 12th grade in the real estate program of the Technion in Haifa. In the summer of 1968 he successfully passed the matriculation exams. “Smiling, good-hearted, good-looking, pleasant, and ready to help everyone,” friends remember Ahrele. In elementary school he soon became acquainted with teachers and students, and over the years, as a high school student, was the girls’ favorite. Aaron was a diligent pupil. One of his teachers testified that, despite being withdrawn, shy and slightly embarrassed, he was at the center of every social event. Ahrele was a member of the school committee, carrying food crates on a class trip, initiating and organizing celebrations and parties. “He was among those who can not be angry with them,” said the educator, stressing Aharaleh’s nobility. In his youth, he joined the youth movement Machanot Ha’olim in Neve Sha’anan, participated in many camps and trips, and participated in various sports activities. Aharon loved to travel around the country, attracted to the landscapes of mountains and deserts and wanted to know every path, plant and animal in his country. A devoted son was Aharon. He helped his parents with advice and action and took great care of the two younger sisters, Sarit and Iris. On the eve of his enlistment in the IDF, Elem Hasson, with large, intelligent brown eyes, was a serious guy in his approach to life, and was drafted into the IDF in early August 1968 and volunteered for the paratroopers. After completing basic training, he completed a parachuting course and was authorized to wear “parachute wings”. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was later appointed as his operations officer, and his subordinates called him “father spy” because he demanded much, but knew To give each one of them the most attention and was always ready to offer help and relief. “His subordinates said that one day he recruited the company’s soldiers to collect the crop in the field plot of one of the soldiers, whose father had fallen ill. “It was Aharaleh who initiated and organized the harvest before the rains,” his friends said, “Father Spy” was admired and loved by soldiers and commanders. One of the soldiers: “When we were on Friday night in threes, straight flush, moved spy between the lines, looked alert and corrected by the way a soldier’s ruffled collar. On our vacation in Acre, he wanted us to rest and spend as much time as possible … Today it is as if the company lacks a part of its Lev. “Aharaleh did well in the IDF and continued serving in the army. He was trained in an air force course and was promoted to captain in the summer of 1973. Towards the Independence Day of 1973, Aharon Megged interviewed Aharon for the festive issue of “Bamahane.” “He made a great impression on me,” the author said.

I was deeply impressed by our meeting in the field, during the intermediate days of Passover, when he returned from home and so sincerely expressed his thoughts on the issues in which we live, and discovered such a deep connection to his parents and their Jewish heritage. “When the Yom Kippur War broke out Aharaleh was sent to the front “In the difficult moments when his company was called upon by mighty enemy forces, he asked that anyone who survives in life, He will tell his parents that he must continue to live. “His death was characteristic of him.
