Ben Ora and Yoav. Born in Kiryat Motzkin on 28.3.1982, brother to Guy and Legal, when he celebrated his fifth birthday he received another brother, Or, Raz was a very gentle and comfortable child, and when he was five years old he was able to read and write, In the first grade at the Achdut elementary school, the teacher quickly discovered that he already knew all the material that was being studied, but Raz sat quietly and did not mind, but helped those who could, Torah with second graders and at the end of the year he passed second grade and moved to third grade, so that in all his years he was the youngest in his class, which did not prevent him from acquiring new friends Raz was a very awake and curious child and used to read everything written, from the daily newspapers he read carefully, and from Maariv to Hanoar, to the fine print on the labels on the bottles. When his brother asked him where he knew from, he replied that he read about it in the newspaper … Raz did not invest in studies during the hours after school, The book and classmates say he used to read lessons from an empty notebook. Listening in class was enough for him to understand and remember the material being studied. In his spare time, he preferred to read other things that interested him. At the end of sixth grade, he again changed his social framework, when he moved to the Ort Afek junior high school in Kiryat Bialik. This transition was also made easy and Rez quickly integrated into the new company. Raz completed his studies at the ORT Kiryat Bialik High School. Here, too, he was a quiet student who did not make an effort and did not invest and achieved high grades. After his military service he planned to study communications. In the eighth grade, Raz joined the youth movement and devoted many hours to his activities there, first as a trainee and then as a counselor. At the end of 10th grade, he went to a leadership camp in the United States where he met and studied with youth from different parts of the world. Raz was very socially caring, and it was clear to him that he would contribute as much as he could and serve in a combat unit. During the twelfth grade, he was assigned to various reconnaissance units, and because of his vision problems, he was unable to serve in the naval commando unit and the Sayeret Matkal commando unit. He succeeded in sorting out a course for captains, but when he was assigned to the commando unit, he preferred to serve there instead of serving in the navy. On March 21, 2000, a week before his 18th birthday, Raz enlisted in the Shimshon unit, but was asked to move to the Dukhifat unit, and after completing basic training and advanced training, He made the entire route at Psagot and the Judea and Samaria Junction. At the end of the course, Raz went to a brigade commanders ‘course and graduated with honors, and was supposed to remain as a guide in the squad commanders’ school, but chose to return to the battalion and to the command line. Indeed, Raz succeeded in convincing the battalion commander to return as battalion commander. On the night of Shabbat, November 2, 2001, when he was the commander of a flying checkpoint between Ofra and Beit El, Raz went to check a vehicle approaching the checkpoint. Several bullets were fired from the vehicle, which hit a tap, which was wearing a ceramic vest, from the side. He lost consciousness and died a few minutes later at the age of nineteen years, seven months, and twelve days. Raz was laid to rest in the military section of the Tzur Shalom cemetery. Survived by his parents and three brothers. Lieutenant Colonel Erez wrote about Raz: “While serving in the unit, both as a combat soldier in the company and as a commander, Raz served as a model for his comrades andAnd was ready to perform any task. “Everything is fine,” was the statement that singled out him, as a response to anyone who asked for his safety, even in the difficult moments. There was always a smile on his face. Raz was about to prepare for an officers’ course, in order to ‘contribute and influence,’ as he said in an interview with me … The people of Israel lost one of his best sons, who has a brilliant future. ” “A child does not get old, a child shuffles / learns the principle only after he / she falls in the middle of autumn,” says Raz’s brother, Guy and Or, That’s what they tell him when he falls in battle. // Today you’re separated and it’s three in the afternoon, / Look how many people look at you with your eyes, / What is the price of a learned child, / So loving to live that does not resemble anyone. , A child “If you get up and fly with the hoopoe in the morning, you love the country and it cost so much, ‘Cause we do not understand that we are burying you because we gave them guns. An excited child carries all the flowers, The rain is falling and you see how everyone is crying / A child is not getting old, In any situation you are always with me, my brother. ” On the first anniversary of Raz’s death, a disc was released, the CD – ‘To Sing Your Heart,’ which was produced by his brother Guy. The disc contains 14 segments written and composed during the shiva and the 30, for Raz and Raz. In addition, a website was established to commemorate him at www.ataraz.org.
