Due to his adventurousness, he was punished for staying at home and was not allowed to leave the boundaries of the moshav. As he grew older, his desires and desires sought expression and in the absence of any other outlet for his turbulent spirit he wrote poems, some of them humorous, on the moshav and the youth, and about his life, his longing and his dreams. In the last two years of his studies, he studied without hesitation and his thoughts were based on establishing the agriculture and joining the Palmach, where he worked in the family farm and a little plumbing, and in the evenings he read and studied Russian. “I have a country and I did not see her,” he complained. “I have to know … I am sorry for the place …” On April 6, 1948, he joined the Palmach in the “Burgers” battalion.
