Son of Aharon and Chasia. Born on December 31, 1951 in Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha, he attended elementary school and high school in Givat Hashlosha, where he began studying at an early age, but the age gap did not bother him. He was always drafted to the IDF in late October 1969. His army career was difficult, but he knew how to overcome all obstacles by reason, intelligence Straightness, energy and ingenuity that are blessed with abundance. He was able to give full confidence to all around him. He always knew how to help, to encourage and say a good word, to smile charmingly, and yet, as a commander, he could also be firm in issuing an unquestioned order. In training and operations he was the boldest and most energetic of all his friends. He loved all the great spaces, where he could be alone. When he dropped off once and twice he came home and said, “Great, it’s huge, you’re alone – and you’re floating – a tremendous experience!” At first he did not want to hear about Golani at all, but after he arrived there he acclimated and took part in operations across the border. He was a little timid by nature, and it took him some time to get used to it, but after getting used to a new society and people, you found a common language. He did not tell much about his actions in the army, because he always thought that his actions were not the main thing. Zvi was found to have a sensitive and humane personality while being employed in the Gaza Strip, when he saw the tragedy of the Arab people in full force. He found in his behavior the golden path, as he put it: “It is forbidden to cause a situation in which an Arab can hurl his face with his Lev, unable to respond to it as you wish, and at the same time he must be anxious.” On May 13, 1971, he fell in the line of duty. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. His commander wrote in a letter of condolence to the parents: “Zvika came to us in the winter training and immediately discovered that he was special and different from the other soldiers. , A smile which I could never be angry with, or come to him claiming – neither me nor the rest of his commanders. ” The commander of his company wrote: “He was a tactful soldier and commander, he always knew how to say the right word in the right place at the right time, he always knew how to offer, and in many cases we accepted his proposals. I always knew who to turn to when there was something difficult to do and I always agreed, sometimes he seemed indifferent but deep inside he cared about everything so that his staff would excel, and that the company – honesty, fairness, energy, resourcefulness, joy of life, responsibility, devotion, loyalty to his commanders and subordinates – these were And his daughters. Accuracy reports of acts and providing orders – these were the lot of deer. So I knew the deer “. On the thirtieth anniversary of his fall, the “Hill Leaf” appeared on Givat Hashlosha, dedicated to Tzvi; In May 1975, Givat HaShlosha published a pamphlet entitled “Zvika, containing remarks from his colleagues, commanders and friends.
