Son of Deborah and Elijah. Born on the 4th of Iyar 5732 (18.4.1972), on the eve of Israel’s 24th Independence Day, in Kvutzat Kinneret, the eldest son of a family of four, a third generation in the Sea of Galilee, who joined the Kinneret in 1934, He was a child who was alert, gentle and sensitive, and very friendly, and never raised his hand on another child, as a child, he was really “addicted” to tractors and cars and spent many afternoons in the parking lot. He studied at the elementary school in Kinneret and at the Beit Yerah High School in the Jordan Valley, where Yaron was a good student and studied in the high school track, but usually did not make much effort. We have learned from his teachers that Liron has great potential, but he has not been exploited … “He was a lively, optimistic, sociable boy and accepted by his friends with a heart of gold and a sense of humor, “His quintet” Ido, Tomer, Avner, Guy and Chen did a lot of things together and activities, many trips and trips in Israel. Many shared experiences are reserved for him and his roommates. What they remember most is Shiron, every day, no matter what he did or where he was – at four o’clock he went home to drink a mother’s miracle of coffee, and every time he invited them to come with him. Liron had an impressive performance-a sturdy guy, six feet tall and very energetic. From an early age he began his athletic pursuits. Was an athlete, played soccer and was a gifted basketball player, and even reached the national league with the Jordan Valley youth group. Yaron loved his kibbutz, Kinneret, was very attached to the house and family, and was a good friend. Yaron was an introverted guy with a certain shyness, until he met his colleague Amit from Kibbutz Yagur. From that meeting, Yaron became a different person. It opened and changed beyond recognition. The cheerfulness and joy radiated from his face and he planned to tie up with a family bond. His father, Eliyahu, says: “I think Yaron was a kibbutznik in his soul. … Yaron saw his future as a kibbutznik. … He said that after his release he wanted to go home and join the work, because the orchards are already waiting for him. “At the beginning of March 1991, Yaron was drafted into the IDF and served as a chariot gunner. He passed the accepted route and even took part in operational activity in Lebanon. Yaron was very fond of his comrades in the company and they trusted him greatly. For many, he served as an attentive ear and a “wall”. His comrades in the company appreciated his joie de vivre, his loyalty, his stubbornness, his ability to stand up to his commanders. He did not give up easily and allowed himself to argue with them, but he was a good and responsible soldier, who received a mission and performed it in the best possible way. “He was the motivation of the company, always laughs and for a moment does not remain silent,” according to a friend of the company. “His room in the young neighborhood has really become a club, and the guys always asked when Yaron was coming in. In fact, his vacations were few, and he always came with a few other friends … That was our Yaron, loved people, He was a child of principles and what he did not like, he did not hold in. Sometimes it seemed that he was a kind of lawyer for the soldiers and often he was fascinated, because he could not keep silent, “his mother says. Four months before his release from the IDF on October 3, 1993, Yaron was suddenly laid to rest in the Kinneret cemetery,Vlad grew up and matured. He was twenty-one years old when he fell. Survived by his parents, two sisters – Adi and Amit, and brother Eran. In a condolence letter to the family, the unit commander wrote: “You were a soldier who did not take anything for granted and was not afraid to express his opinion and stand up for it. In everything that happened in the company, I always found … Everything you did – you did quietly, as if shyly, and yet conspicuously. On Kibbutz Kinneret, they published a memorial page for the Kinneret Memorial Book and a booklet in his memory. His comrades in the army took out a memorial booklet. An article in memory of two of his friends from the MZ class, Guy Kritzman and Chen Kinarti, who fell that year in their duties, appeared in the newspaper of the Regional Council in Emek and Barma in April 1994. The family also produced a fifty-minute tape about Yaron.
