When she was 9 years old, she moved with her family to the Shiller group. She continued to study at the Netzer-Sereni School and Givat Brenner. By nature it was rebellious and yet original in its views and views. Thus, for example, the peace treaty with Egypt saw no peace agreement but rather the loss of Sinai and protest before the return of the last stage of Sinai. It went to Naama (Gulf of Solomon) and Dahab (without gold) without permission. Ifat hated the frame and the more the frame limited it the less she loved it. She was connected to her home and loved to be with her family. Her letters evoke the image of a vibrant, active and organizing girl. Was an athlete and took part with her team in handball competitions. She spent her last year in Kibbutz Eilot, where she found her place. She wrote to her friend: “I wanted to tell you that I’m very Simcha at Eilot, I’m really Simcha there … You can sit for hours and admire wonderful sights in these vast expanses. Here, too, she learned to take responsibility: During an annual trip to the Judean Desert, she successfully filled the economic role without paying attention to fatigue, after only 4 hours of sleep. Yifat traveled extensively throughout the country from the north to the south (including Sinai). Before her enlistment in the IDF, she volunteered for a third year of service, where she was full of energy and tolerance, loved to talk about her students and taught them many songs. Thank you for guiding us and being an excellent instructor. I will never forget your Yaffa actions and you, too. “” Yifat was recruited to the IDF on July 27, 1983.
