Son of Rivka and Aryeh, was born on January 21, 1934 in Danzig, Germany, and immigrated with his family to Eretz Israel in 1939. The family settled in Tel Aviv, and Baruch completed his studies at the Herzlia elementary school in the city. Baruch was drafted into the IDF in mid-June 1951 and was assigned to the IAF. After basic training, he completed a course for instructors and a symbol course, and later served as a disciplinary sergeant and instructor in small arms fire. Every role assigned to him was filled with tenderness and love, to the satisfaction of his commanders. After completing his regular service in the IDF, Baruch returned to his work place in Tel Aviv and was soon appointed to work as a manager, since he was experienced, thorough and responsible, and was able to teach his work to others. In 1955, Baruch married his girlfriend, Miriam, and a year later their first son, Ilan, was born, and Baruch and his wife always enjoyed a relationship of cooperation, and thanks to their love, they managed to overcome shortages and economic crises. The little one with only one room, friends, family and friends, and in 1959 a second son, Roni, was born In 1965, Baruch was invited to return to the IDF in order to assist in the establishment of an anti-aircraft battalion, and in June 1965 he served in various capacities: A car officer, a commander of a command post, and in 1969 he was awarded the rank of First Sergeant. In their opinion, his various commanders wrote about him: “disciplined, responsible, devoted to his position and capable of organization … very effective in special operations … independent, determined, very skilled in work and initiator … shows good attitude towards his subordinates and very Ehud.” These definitions best describe Baruch, for he was indeed an example of his actions to the many soldiers who served under his command. But most of all he was concerned about his soldiers. They knew that they would always be able to turn to him for advice, and they would lend a sympathetic ear. From time to time, Baruch would invite home to parents of soldiers who encountered difficulties during their service in the unit. Together with his parents, he tried to find solutions that would help soldiers adapt to military life. Baruch’s sons, and their friends, made bad friends with him and used to spend many hours with him, listening to his stories and hearing his advice. Years later, when his eldest son was born and a grandson was born to Baruch, no one was happier than he. Every Saturday he would travel with his grandson, tell him stories and teach him many songs. Although on weekdays Baruch was preoccupied with his work, he would take care, immediately upon his return home, to run and see his beloved grandson. On Monday, 10 Kislev, 5710 (November 10, 1980) Baruch fell in the army cemetery in Holon and left behind a wife, two sons, a bride and a grandson, three brothers and a sister.
