Son of-Shmuel and Ruth Tamir (Katznelson). Born on 21.1.1950 in Tel Aviv, he studied at the Nitzanim Elementary School in Ramat Gan, then studied at Ohel Shem High School for two years and graduated from the Kol Israel Haverim High School. Where he was born in Tel Aviv, where he was born in Ramat Aviv, where he had a unique combination of excellent talents, passion, intense willpower and great passion, and his excellence in the natural sciences, especially in chemistry, physics and electronics, his thinking ability, With his knowledge of literature, love of poetry and sensitivity to art, especially to music, and even when he was in elementary school and high school, His extraordinary intelligence, his extraordinary ability to concentrate, and the nobility of the soul that were revealed in all his ways and his contacts with both boys and adults. His friends and relatives always marveled at his cleverness, wit, sense of humor, kindness, and sense of duty, which he could not conceal when he spoke of his high school graduates at the high school graduation ceremony Immediately after the end of the Six-Day War, David concluded his speech by saying: “The world has grown accustomed to R. S son State dwarf, with a shrunken, selfless, his dependent Diaspora Jews and powers. The people – and the youth – proved his true stature; Who is the natural growth of the Jewish people? “David was drafted into the IDF in early February 1968 and volunteered to serve in the air force. When asked if, given his extraordinary theoretical talents, he would not do well to join the academic reserve or serve in a more ordinary army – only three years – he replied, without a word: “If I can do something someone else can not do, “He said. He completed the pilot course in November 1969. The head of the school said: “David was superior, because of his clear qualities and lucid, lucid mind, he was a talented man, smart, courageous, diligent, dedicated, and with a strong will …” His direct commander at the flight school stated: “He had a gold head and an iron will.” David loved the flight, the great expanses, the landscapes of the Land of Israel unfolding before the pilot. He liked to walk in Israel on foot, but after flying a lot, he used to say that from heaven they learned to love Eretz Israel even more than on patrols. “Jerusalem is more Yaffa than the air,” he would repeat. When David fell, the poet Uri Zvi Greenberg wrote about him in his poem “Memorial”: “Like this I felt, and as such I loved him … As a trustee of the house of his father and mother, he was loyal and persistent in his devotion to the purpose of his mission. “He measured the skies of Israel with the wisdom of hands – and with love – because he chose to serve. During his service David reached the rank of lieutenant and was an air-captain. He participated in bold operations, even beyond the lines, took on special roles in the development of weapons, and his commanders stressed that he performed them “perfectly”. His squadron commander expected him to be in command, although David himself planned to study natural sciences after five years of volunteering for the air force. Although he greatly respected his service in the army and his role in the air force, he hardly wore a uniform outside the hours of the job. Throughout his short, rich life he demanded more than himself and less than others, to whom he had always shown understanding and tolerance. His rich personalityHis cohesive talents, his varied talents, his culture, his pure honesty and his Lev and radiant human qualities aroused affection and love from him, along with respect, admiration, and great anticipation. On the fifteenth day of Tammuz, 5771 (July 7, 1971), upon his return from a vital mission, David fell with nine of his friends while he was performing his duties, when the settlement was destroyed. He was buried in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, which he loved so much. The President of the State, Zalman Shazar, eulogized him: “I loved this delicate and intelligent and attentive and daring young man, many of whom symbolized his noble and promising figure.” When I said good-bye to him on Hanukkah and he was the most Yaffa, Perhaps it is the lamb for the burnt offering. ” As it is written: ‘From the best of the flock’. And I was appalled. A field school established at the foot of Mount Sinai was named after him – the cliffs of David, and on the Dikla beach in the Rafiah plaza, named after David and his friends, “Hof HaNara”, not far from where they fell, “The adjacent moshav is named after Nativ Ha’asara, and the story of their lives and deaths was commemorated in a book that was published by the families and is called” The Enrichment. “
