Rofeh, Avraham


Son of Regina and Yitzhak, was born in October 1924 in Istanbul, Turkey. In his youth he was caught in the idea of ​​a return to Zion, and one day he stole the Syrian border and reached the border of the country and managed to pass it on June 15, 1943. In Israel he tried his luck in every job he encountered, and suffered quite a bit. Finally he found a girlfriend, married and opened a small workshop in Tel Aviv. Saw himself as the pioneer of his family in Israel and aspired to establish himself and bring his parents as soon as possible. With the outbreak of the War of Independence, he left everything and enlisted. Avraham was attached to the Givati ​​Brigade and fought on the southern front. He fell in the Battle of Beit Daras on Sunday, July 8, 1948, when he was repulsed by an Egyptian attempt to conquer the outpost, and was brought to rest at the military cemetery in Beer Tuvia.
