Rosenfeld, Yehuda
Yehuda, son of Henia and Noah, was born on March 14, 1947 in Bergen-Belsen, Germany. When he was one year old, his family immigrated to Israel and settled in Kibbutz Sarid. He completed his elementary studies and then completed his high school studies in the kibbutz agricultural track. Yehuda was an excellent athlete and excelled in swimming and basketball. Yehuda was handsome, handsome, strong and handsome, who excelled in his heart simplicity and charm. His solid, firm body was a complete contrast to his gentleness. Yehuda was drafted into the IDF in early November 1965 and assigned to the Armored Corps, and after completing various courses he became a tank gunner and was sent to a tank commanders course and completed with a high grade. He was always responsible and dedicated to his role and was an example to all of his patience and good temperament, and he did not see the training in the tank commander’s course as a work in which he had to finish a certain quota of hours, so his attitude towards work and the time he invested in it exceeded the norm. Yehuda was involved in the Six-Day War in battles in the Sinai front and later participated in the War of Attrition, and was released from regular service with the rank of First Sergeant, He went back to the farm and went to work in the cowshed, and in 1972 he went to the United States for a private visit, and used his visit to learn about new methods used in the cattle industry. Yehuda tried to learn new things that could be adapted to the methods used in the agriculture and thus developed and improved methods on the kibbutz. At the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, Yehuda was summoned to service and was sent to the southern front. On October 8, 1973, his company fought in the area of the Firdan Bridge In which hundreds of bombs landed on the battlefield, which became a death trap. Yehuda was killed in this battle, but his body was not found. His body was found five months later, and he was brought to rest in the cemetery at Kibbutz Sarid. Survived by his parents and brother. After being shot down, he was given the rank of sergeant. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, his unit commander wrote: “Yehuda served as a tank commander in an armored unit. He was loved by his commanders and friends and played his role impeccably.” His family and the home of Kibbutz Sarid published a pamphlet in his memory, in which he spoke of family and friends.
