Nachmias, Moshe

Son of Yehuda and Kuta, one of the founders of the Peqi’in New Workers’ Council in the Galilee. His father was from an aristocratic family in Tangier. He was born on December 4, 1947 in Tangier, Morocco. In 1955 he immigrated to Israel with his family who settled in Moshav Peqi’in. Moshe completed his elementary studies at Ma’alot and continued high school in the same school. After completing his studies there he took a course in Nahariya. Was active among the youth and took part in the sports activities in the moshav and also had a tendency to literature. He found his livelihood in agriculture. Moshe was a quiet, modest, and diligent fellow like the rest of his family. He absorbed the atmosphere of the seat and the air of true freedom. He was polite and decent in all his dealings with his friends. In November 1965 he was drafted into the IDF and served in the “Golani” Brigade of the “Barak” Battalion, and during his service in the IDF he ensured that his future would be an agricultural school and registered for immigration to Zerit. He used his short vacations for help at home. Just as he helped his home, he tended to help everyone. When he was in compulsory service, the Six-Day War broke out, and on the fifth day of the battles, on the 9th of June 1967, when he was completely exposed, he charged toward the Syrian compounds in Tel-Fakhr in the Golan Heights and fell while clearing the enemy’s defensive ditches. At the same time, his friends heard him shouting: “This time I am fighting for the future of my parents’ land …” Do not stop! ” Moshe was among the chosen soldiers of his platoon and proved himself in battle. He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Afula. The commander of his regiment wrote to his family in a letter of condolence that Moshe was devoted and loyal to the battalion and the state, a symbol and model to his comrades. “He never hesitated and did not hesitate to carry out the difficult tasks that were imposed upon him, and all this with great devotion and devotion.”
