Pereg, Tzvi

Son of Nachman and Atara. He was born on June 5, 1944 in Ein Harod. He was educated in the children’s company and was involved with them until he left for the army. He had access to literature and art, was interested in drama and even tried it in the drama club. He was an athlete, engaged in swimming and water skiing. He attended elementary school in Ein Harod and finished tenth grade in high school. He also studied at the “ORT” school afterwards. His love of the sea was nourished by his great brothers’ stories and his father’s stories – and tradition in the family was to volunteer for the navy. Indeed, in August 1963, he was drafted into the Israel Navy and continued his family tradition by volunteering to serve in the submarine squadron, because he loved life in them and was sent to England and served in the “Dakar”. He began building his family’s home with his own choice, and one day, when he was on the brink of realizing his dreams on the way to his homeland and family, when the submarine was on the sea route between Gibraltar and Haifa, This was on the 24th of Tevet 5728 (25.1.1968). The Chief Military Rabbinate determined that the date of Zvi’s passing, in the course of his duties, together with the rest, was on January 30, 1968. Since Tzvi was among the missing team members, a memorial monument was placed inside him in a memorial to the missing “Dakar” men in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. “The Ein Harod Diary,” which appeared a year after his death, was dedicated to Zvi in ​​part. In Eran Shorer’s book “Six Days in Decker,” his picture was presented. On the 28th of June 1999, after years of searching, the INS Dakar submarine was found on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 2,900 meters on its planned sailing route and 250 miles from the port of Haifa. A memorial for those whose burial place is unknown.
