Sagi (Gross), Amos

Son of Shimon and Bilha, members of Givat Brenner. He was born on Tuesday, 9 July 1940, in the kibbutz, where he grew up, was educated and completed his studies (12th grade) at the local school. In his early years he continued to pull him out; He is drawn to the fields, to the flower and to the wing-holder. But then it turned out that this intense observation of the revealed world, that learning from the first source, from nature, led to the accumulation of inner wealth. At that time he nurtured the school’s animal corner with great devotion. Amos’s mind was sensitive to the suffering of others and he was willing to take care and help and take care of his friend’s affairs-as a duty to express gratitude. In 1959 he spent one year in Beit Govrin. It was a year of help for the kibbutz in which he concentrated the flock. In 1960 he was drafted into the IDF as part of the Nahal Brigade, and after completing an officers’ course he served as deputy commander of the Nahalat Be’erotim military unit. When he returned from the army, he returned to his kibbutz and began working in the carpentry shop. Not long afterward, he was sent to the youth movement at the “Kinn” facility in Holon and in Ramat Gan in the nucleus that was intended for Bet Guvrin. He accepted the mission on himself, but he did not want it, for he did not consider himself worthy of this work, but since it was a decision he saw it as the order of the movement and stood in his capacity with all his will. He belonged to the inter-kibbutz group for the knowledge of the country (in geography, archeology, geology, vegetation and animal life) and participated in the activities of the Israel Exploration Society. He was devoted to his home and loved his country – and while he loved his trips, he acquired a great deal of knowledge about Yaffa landscapes. He passed on his love for the landscape of the country and his knowledge of its secrets to the youth of Givat Brenner as a tour guide and later to Sha’ar Ha’amakim. After marrying one of the women of Sha’ar Ha’amakim, he moved to her kibbutz and was hired there to work in the carpentry shop and even advanced there more than he did in Givat Brenner. In this kibbutz he found his place and built his house and his friends were able to appreciate his efforts in his new place. After he was released from the army, he would occasionally go on reserve duty and also before the Six-Day War. He was a model soldier and an exemplary commander, standing at the head of his platoon in a battle on the southern outskirts of Gaza, and on the second day of the fighting, on the 27th of Iyar 5727 (June 6, 1967), he fell. He left a wife and a daughter who had not had a year in the fall of her father. He was buried in the emergency military cemetery in Bari and later transferred to the eternal cemetery at Givat Brenner. In the book “To the Fallen,” which was published by his kibbutz in memory of his sons who fell in the 1967 Sederot, a section was dedicated to his memory, and a booklet published in Sha’ar Ha’amakim was published in his booklet “Amos.” In the booklet “Who Fell in the War” published by Hakibbutz Hame’uchad, his memory was raised.In the booklet 53 of them, which was published by the Kibbutz Meuhed in memory of its fallen soldiers, was devoted to the history of the fallen soldiers. From his estate.
