Rosenberg, Abraham

Avraham (Rosa), son of Klara and Yitzhak, was born on July 27, 1953, in the city of Deja, Romania. In 1961 he immigrated to Israel with his parents and completed his elementary studies at the Neve Etzion school in Jerusalem. He completed his high school studies at Ma’aleh School. Rosa, as his family and friends affectionately called him, was a very curious, alert child with a tremendous desire to know and understand everything he saw. He always wanted to know what was beyond his reach. At the same time he was disciplined and obedient to his parents, who were well aware of encouraging him in his own search and identity, through games and the disassembly and assembly of instruments that interested him. Rosa especially loved trips and participated with his friends in various social activities, including marches and trips in the landscapes of the country. He took part in the marches even when he was a member of the Bnei Akiva movement and in the framework of the Gadna, once even crossing the border on one of his trips, to see with his own eyes the difference that makes us a state like that in comparison to other countries. And he was awarded medals and grades for his accomplishments throughout his career, never restrained, barely exhausted his ability to take part in the Bnei Akiva movement and went to Hapoel to play volleyball, And at the same time worked extensively in the Youth Parliament and expressed his views on a level. In the framework of the “Youth Parliament” he also held a solidarity rally for high school students with the Jews of Syria. But it was not only social activity and action that attracted him. He devoted much of his free time to collecting and cataloging stamps, reading books and playing his accordion, and he also liked to run, to maintain his physical fitness. Rosa particularly admired everything about the army. In all the photographs of the trips he appears to be holding a rifle, and the list of prizes and medals for his excellence in shooting is long. Avraham was drafted into the IDF in early August 1972 and assigned to the Armored Corps. He completed his basic training as an outstanding apprentice, and was fully watched. He also completed the tank course with honors, and after he excelled in the tank commanders course, he remained to instruct new trainees. He did not neglect his interests because of the objective pressure of military life. In every moment of leisure he would study the Bible and expand his reading material into philosophical literature, while keeping a diary in which he wrote his impressions and experiences in his new life. He served in a field unit, and in his unit he was a central figure and many asked for his company and his advice, and in all his actions he demanded perfection from himself, and was always close to her when he raised the demands of himself.

He was laid-rest at the cemetery on Mount Herzl. He left behind his parents and sister. After falling promoted to Sergeant.
