Turkian, Avraham

Son of Moshe and Malka. He was born on April 27, 1951, in Tel Aviv. He studied at the Bar Yochai School in the Shapira neighborhood. For five years he was a member of the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement in Tel Aviv, met all the counselors and loved to visit the club where he found a social framework for recreation and trips. He studied at an electronics college in the city and during his free time liked to work in electronics and radio repairs. He loved the sea and the sun very much and at every leisure time he went to the sea. He was always the first to help every needy person and volunteered for every aid operation. In the neighborhood he was known as a brave and kindhearted fellow, and everyone knew him and respected him. He had shown his kindness and concern to others in his neighborhood when a car passed and knocked a wife to the ground. Avraham ran to her, collected her bleeding, took her into a taxi and drove her to the hospital, and then sat next to her all night and looked after her as if he were a member of his family. A girl whose choko had attracted small children and was always ready to help them wherever he could. Avraham was drafted into the IDF in May 1969 and assigned to the Paratroopers Brigade, and he was very Simcha to see the world and hoped that after his military service he would travel abroad. On 26 June 1970, he fell to the army cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, where the commander of the unit wrote to the parents a letter of condolence in which he noted Abraham as “a good and devoted soldier, loved by his soldiers and commanders, He fulfilled his duties faithfully and jealously. In his fall he left a void in the life of the unit, a void that would not be filled. The entire unit is hurting the family’s pain. “A short list of the youth movement was included in the magazine of the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed youth movement.
