Son of Moshe and Chaya. He was born on March 15, 1926, in the town of Sachov, in the Volyn district of Poland, where he was a traditional Jew who was observant and observant. And her parents, her four children, with all her warmth and concern for her home, so that nothing would be lacking in him: the economic life in the Diaspora was at a low ebb and also the parents of the daily distress, but nevertheless the family managed its life with dignity and modesty, and everyone was Simcha with their share. A “room” in the synagogue, which was the center of Jewish life in the town, where he studied the Hebrew letters and began to read the Pentateuch and learned the Bible with Rashi’s commentary. After a few years, he moved to the Tarbut elementary school, where he expanded his education, absorbing an original Hebrew culture and breathing from the atmosphere of Eretz Israel, when he was fourteen years old when the Second World War broke out and then the end of his studies. After a while he acquired the Lev of one of the Ukrainian peasants, who brought him into his home and worked as a shepherd, and he worked diligently and devotedly in the pasture and in the wood-cutting and other works, so he found his livelihood – and his shelter before the German murderers. He was also helped by his upright height, his blue eyes, his fair hair that was signs of being non-Jewish. Nevertheless, the boy did not know a peaceful life. The Ukrainian farmer’s fear of being betrayed by his neighbors to the Germans and the risk of his benefactors fled again, and this time he joined a small group of young Jews, partisans fighting in the forests. After wandering and terror, starvation and distress, in a supreme effort to survive on Asher’s side, the war came to an end. He came to the town of Rokitno near Swab, and here he was stunned by the loss of all his family. She’erit Hapleta concentrated in the city of Bitum, which joined the remains and was one of the members who belonged to Kibbutz Dror. His knowledge of the Hebrew language helped him to serve as a language teacher and guide for his friends. After a few months of wanderings across Europe there was a meeting with the emissary of Palestine. The kibbutz moved to France, and from there the kibbutz landed on a small ship called “Tel Hai” to board the long-awaited beach. After thirteen days in which the shaky ship was shaken at sea, the English were spotted – and it was close to shore. Even when they were brought under British army guard to the camp, they had a great ashram because they felt that their feet were treading on a safe haven – and now they were finally on the ground. A few days later they were in the Atlit camp. Afterward, Asher and his friends (members of Dror) went to Kibbutz Beit Ha’arava in the northern Dead Sea, where the same emissary from Europe met. Hot heat and hard work at the potash plants were waiting for them at Beit Ha’arava, but these difficult conditions not only did not weaken the steadfastness of the immigrants, but they made them stronger and they became partners in the building of the entire site. Soon Asher became part of the factory. He was among the regulars in fodder and loved to wander the desolate landscape. On one of his trips he crossed the Jordan to the east bank and together with three members of the Arava was arrested by the Jordanian Book Corps – and the four of them were thrown into prison in Amman. On the night of the explosion of the bridges, during the struggle for the establishment of the state, he was arrested along with all the members of Beit Ha’arava and brought to a detention camp in Latrun. After much deliberation, he accepted his friend’s wishes and moved with his group from the Arava to Kibbutz Alonim in the Jezreel Valley. In this kibbutz, whose home was his last stop, his children were born and raised, and he himself became an active partner in the kibbutz life. Shalem was with himself, identified with his kibbutz homeAnd he was with his last mission to which he came out full of hope and confidence that after the defeat of the enemy the victory would come and he would return home. At the outbreak of the Six-Day War, called to reserve duty, as he was called from time to time since his first enlistment in September 1950, and on the second day of his battles, on the 27th of Iyar 5727 (June 6, 1967), when his enemy’s plane exploded in his camp. He left a wife and three children. He was laid to rest in a grave in the Haifa military cemetery. Hakibbutz Hame’uchad’s memoir “Who Fell in the War” was mentioned. Kibbutz Alonim published a booklet in his memory bearing his name.
