Reuveni, Uri


Ben Dalia and Tali (Naftali). Uri was a shy, smiling and quiet child who grew up and grew up in Moshav Ramot as a member of a well-to-do family who lived the life of the moshav with everything involved: He helped with the farm and was connected to nature and the expanses. Uri studied at the “Daliyot” community elementary school in the moshav and continued to the Nofei Golan high school in Katzrin, where he studied computer and control, Uri was gifted with gold, loved and was able to dismantle and assemble anything related to electricity and mechanics. In the fourth grade, he joined the “Bnei HaMoshavim” youth movement and, after completing his ninth grade, took a course for counselors and began to teach in the moshav. Higa ATV. With his video camera filmed her tape called “Rally of the Pharaohs”, which documented his travels and many trips around the country. In early December 1994 Uri joined the IDF and managed to reach the Armored Corps, despite health problems. He successfully completed a course in command and control operations, but after a period of one year his health deteriorated and he was forced to withdraw from the position he filled with great devotion and responsibility, and his commanders said that he was an outstanding and friendly soldier, friendly and courteous, And to convince them to enlist in the Armored Corps, and after a while returned to serve in the Armored Corps as a lieutenant colonel. Uri was not pleased with this position and although he could serve in a non-combat role, he wanted to return to the role of guidance. The permit was accepted but Uri did not get to hear about it. On 2 February 1997, when he returned home after Shabbat duty, he was mortally wounded by a car at the intersection of Ramot, as he was walking along the side of the road. Uri was hospitalized at Rambam Hospital and his condition deteriorated on Thursday, February 11, 1997, when he died of his wounds. He was buried in the Ramot cemetery and is twenty years old. Survived by his parents, three brothers – Guy, Assaf and Dror and a sister – Doron. In his letter of condolence to the bereaved family, Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak wrote: “Uri served as a symbol of operations in the formation of the ‘Pillar of Fire’ of the Northern Command, and was described by his commanders as a dedicated soldier with leadership and guidance abilities who displayed a high motivation for military service and radiated from his personality to those around him. “Uri, you came to us about a month and a half ago, you came into my office, a smiling young man, a moshavnik, a tank driver – full of motivation, a desire to do something – and a lot. That you asked me to go and train with tanks in Jolis or Latrun even though you were given the ‘dream’ of every tanker – to be a jobnik … Despite the short time you were between us, you left a deep void in your heart, Willing to help, the design of the war room – and the sense of friendship that characterized you so much, and in one fell swoop. ” Lt. Col. Gilad Teller, an Armored Corps officer in the “Pillar of Fire” group, wrote to the family: “Uri came to us after serving as a tank commander in the Barak formation, a difficult service he was forced to stop because of health problems. Uri, who was very motivated, managed to become a commander, until he was forced to give up. Uri moved to serve in our unit and soon became a beloved figure and admired all of us. He was not restless and restless, and he was tiring to move and serve as an instructor in a training unit, a place where he could contribute from his experience and personality, but unfortunately he did not succeed. One big smile and laughing eyes. A symbol of infinite goodness. Give, give, and only give. Full of sense of humor, sarcastic and intelligent, intelligent and expressing everything in his own delicate way, not to hurt. A sea of ​​love and devotion. Merging with nature, a child of thnature. Clean and pure and dreaming. Uri for me is to go on a trip – a long journey that never ends between trees and flowers and sheep and cows, it is to sit on the hill and look out at the view, see the sunset, see the sunrise, smell smells. It’s lying on your back between the weeds and looking at the sky and dreaming. “His mother’s friends, Vardit Gera and Tami Ingram Katz, wrote a song for him in his memory, Uri, which was written on CD by Mark Semelian and performed by Ganei Tamir. You are also dreaming / Though the screen has come down / The time has returned again / I’m alone / The sun is setting / The light has been reduced / The wind is falling / Only the innocence of your youth / looks at me / You stay there / Between twenty and twenty-one … “.
