Nisstein, Avraham (Avremale)


Avraham (Avramale), son of Yonah and Haim, was born on 7 November 1943. He studied at the elementary school and in the high school in Ein Harod-Meuhad in the real world. At the school he was a disciplined and disciplined student, took part in the activities of the society and the movement, and even guided students from the lower grades. Avraham devoted his day and night to his role as usual, and tried to fill it thoroughly. He was very proud of his childhood, and was proud of his childhood, but he was humble and away from bravado, a mixture of quiet and security, and he knew how to walk with people, gain their trust and cultivate friendships with them. He was very kind and intelligent, loved and proud of his family, although he tried to conceal his tenderness and love, and was drafted into the IDF in early November 1963 and volunteered for the paratroopers. Even though he successfully passed pilot tests, he decided to serve in the paratroopers’ paratrooper unit. After basic training and after completing a course for squad commanders and a parachute course, a rifleman was stationed in a reconnaissance unit. He never complained about the hard training and the difficult journeys. When he was offered an officer’s course, he pondered a lot, because for him this involved a longer separation from home and the agriculture. But finally he accepted and completed the course as the best trainee in his company. According to his friend, even without ranks, he had the ability and the ability to perform any task he was assigned, and he did not evade any hard work. His commander in the course assessed him as having great intelligence and sharpness, a very good perception, a comfortable character, an excellent soldier and a very good commander. All his commanders in the years that followed saw him as a very good officer. In his first position as a deputy – a platoon commander in the patrol unit – his commander noted as an excellent officer, very talented, with initiative and leadership ability, who does the work out of enthusiasm. After completing his regular service, he was assigned to reserve duty in the same unit and was promoted to lieutenant. During the Six-Day War he participated in battles in Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. After a while he was transferred to a reconnaissance company of a paratroopers brigade. His subordinates trusted him greatly, although, according to his commanding officer, he treated them with firmness. Recently, Avremale was deputy company commander. After the liberation, Avremale returned to Ein Harod, to work in the barn and for a short time worked in the orchard. As soon as the battles of the Six-Day War ended, he volunteered to initiate the settlement of fighters on the Golan Heights. He appealed to the people who fought with him and others, and proposed a high-level party settlement. In the end, a community of Hakibbutz Hameuhad was established in Bialika, whose members included most of the settlers, and later was called Merom HaGolan. Avremaleh returned to Ein Harod-Meuhad for a few months, as he had previously promised, but he was interested in the Golan Heights. He lived with the feeling that facts had to be created immediately, and he feared that the people of the Golan Heights would remain isolated. He was very relieved when the momentum of settlement began. At the beginning of his career in the Golan Heights he served as a labor coordinator and devoted himself to finding jobs, so that many members could be absorbed. Then there was the center of the buffet and a treasurer. As a treasurer, he made great efforts, from late into the night, to fill the job properly, for he had no experience in this field. But he did and succeeded. Later on, he was involved in the construction of the Toph plant – a new building material in Israel, which had to be inspected in order to be approved as a building material. At the factory, Avraham saw the purpose of his life and devoted himself to establishing it as the main economic sector in the agriculture. According to a friend in the kibbutz, Avraham was crazy about DovHe dealt with it stubbornly and persistently, knew every detail, purchased many books on quarries and was in contact with the Technion. With great sorrow, he struggled with the doubts and disbelief he encountered. All of Avraham’s life, as a soldier and as a citizen, was marked by volunteerism. He always volunteered to act and act, in recognition of the fact that volunteering is one of the pillars of the Zionist enterprise and that the obligation to volunteer applies to every person in the country. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, the civilians were evacuated from the Golan Heights. After he went to separate his parents from Ein Harod and his wife and children, who were evacuated to Beit Hashita, Avraham arrived in his unit and was sent with her to the Golan Heights and later to Sinai. On October 20, 1973, at the time of the purification of the agricultural barrier west of the Suez Canal, Avraham went on a voluntary operation, even though he did not have to leave, during which a missile hit his half-track and he was hit and killed. Was born in the Ein Harod-Meuhad cemetery and left behind a wife and two sons, parents, brothers, and three sisters, and was promoted to the rank of captain.Kibbutz Ein Harod-Meuhad published a booklet called Eleven Boys – Kibbutzim, where members of the family and friends spoke about Abraham and fragments of his letters, Kibbutz Merom Golan planted a garden in memory of five of his friends who fell in the war, and Avraham among them.
