Oded, son of Noa and Ephraim, was born on September 12, 1954 in Hadera. Together with the father, a member of the permanent army, the family moved from one region to another in Israel. I studied for the first five years in an elementary school in Ashkelon, a sixth year at Kibbutz Afek and two years later at the Reali School in Haifa. When the family moved to Tzahala, Udi was accepted to study in the real high school in the new high school. He was a good student, a dear friend, an activist in the Gadna, and even took a platoon commander’s course when he was in the fifth grade. His friends write: “More means a sense of humor and imagination and enthusiasm, that every day they are born again and sweep the whole world, to take motorcycles and gallop over the roads with a hard and confident hand, but with the same confidence but tenderness to lean towards a puppy and devote himself to caring for him with all his Lev. As a guide, a guide and a guide, he competes easily with all the professional guides, planning every trip in March, leading and stopping and explaining every site and his enthusiasm, and makes his trip a real experience. . Before graduating from high school, Udi decided to leave school and work a little. He worked with pleasure and devotion, and in the evening he attended an external school and passed the matriculation exams. Udi has a technical ability; He liked fixing cars, watches, machines, and so on. The mere preoccupation and overcoming the technical problems had satisfied him. Oded was drafted into the IDF in early May 1972 and assigned to the Armored Corps, where he found satisfaction in the technical challenge, in exercises and field assistance, and in the operation of the combination of man and machine, with the strength and momentum expressed in a tank unit. Tank commanders, and a year after he was drafted, he was sent to the southern front as a tank commander, and during the Yom Kippur War he was sent to the southern front as a tank commander. And to receive the rank of a long-awaited officer on the day of the 12th of Tishrei 5734 (October 8, 1973) while he commanded A tank was found in the southern sector of the Sinai, where he was killed and buried in Kiryat Shaul, where he left his parents, sister and brother, who was born three days before Yom Kippur. His commander, Avraham son of-Artzi: “It was impossible not to feel Oded’s uniqueness. Smiling and cheerful despite the difficulties of the hour … In the line of contact, when we fought with Egyptian infantry and armored corps, Oded discovered great daring and willingness to abandon the line of positions we had seized … He destroyed an Egyptian tank before a missile struck him … ” The letter ends with the words: “Boys like Oded, who is more heartwarming with their loss without time, are hurting for what they were going to be, not just for what they were.” Ezra, who joined Udi’s service, wrote about him: “I met Odai on Saturday night at Rephidim … He came from the house and told me about his brother’s birth, but most of all he cared for the company …” Dr. Y. Poporish wrote about him “One loves adventures. Mental restlessness does not allow him to live a routine life. The frame of the grade is too rigid for him. His soul aspires to expanses. I knew that life was still ahead of him and he would find a suitable place for his character and satisfaction in his actions. Indeed, the army found its place. He rose to the rank of officer. I’m sure he was an outstanding soldier. “Yaki, who was Odi’s commander and instructor in three courses, wrote to the grieving family:” Oded was one of the outstanding students … if not the outstanding oneAmong them … he always aspired to know more … to delve deeper, to get to know the tank systems better … He had finished his studies with a high score of more than 80%, navigating was the demon in the group, In a letter to his parents from the United States: “Sometimes in the silence and solitude I feel that there is indeed a reason to continue living in our world, and I am confident that love and happiness truly exist not only in dreams and plans for the future, “Ehud, who together with Oded was in a tank commanders course, wrote about that period:” Udi’s success was not questioned. Aspiring to succeed, with excellent technical talent … but more than that, his complex and multifaceted personality placed him in a key social position. You could not ignore the encouragement … The feature that liked him more than anything was the love of life, restlessness, which combined with mischief: “… and Menasheh Habusha, a member of a tank commander’s course, writes:” The truth is that his main love in the army was found in tanks. The vast knowledge he accumulated and the strong desire earned him the title of “Tanker”. I would not exaggerate to say that every company commander wanted Oded to be on his team: “Dorit’s mother, his girlfriend, wrote about Oded:” I saw things in him that an elderly person or mother sees. Ofra, his girlfriend wrote about him among other things: “Udi – a great friend, loyal, willing to do everything to Help, ease, and do not ask … “And the words that Mickey wrote about him were: …” People live in one big mistake by saying that truth and love are the two most complicated things in the world. The truth is that this is not so. There is no simple truth and no simple love. A little bird once whispered in my beloved’s ear meant to see it as God meant it. Did God really intend to lead you along its path? “Oded’s memoirs were published in” Yuval “(February 1974), the publication of the students of the New High School.
