Ne’eman, Reuven (Froiz)

Was born in 1954 in Shiraz, Israel. When he was ten years old. In 1964, the family immigrated to Israel and settled in Kfar Sava for four years. Reuven managed to study in his hometown. He studied the next four years of elementary school at the David Remez School in Kfar Saba. Reuven’s family was a well-to-do family and was heavily cared for. Therefore, Reuven was forced to go to work, in order to help, even if only somewhat, his family. In the course of his work, he learned carpentry and was attached to a permanent place of work. Once a week he went to Tel Aviv for a theoretical training program at the Amal school for students. When he reached the army, Reuven regretted that the source of income for the family would be temporarily erased, but he knew that he had to fulfill the obligation to the state, like the rest of the boys. And as a general employee, but after proving his dedication and responsible attitude, he was assigned the post of deputy commanding officer in the equipment base and as the supervisor of the base’s carpentry shop. The superiors testified that he was a good and disciplined soldier, who performed his duties to the satisfaction of his commanders and beyond. He was a quiet and acceptable fellow among his comrades. During the Yom Kippur War he served on the eastern border. On the 27th of Sivan 5735 (June 7, 1975) Reuven fell in the line of duty. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Kfar Saba. Survived by his parents, two brothers and four sisters. The commander of the base wrote to the bereaved parents: “Reuven was a quiet and devoted soldier who took seriously every position he was assigned and was loved by his friends and commanders alike.”
