Zamir, Hagai (“Hagaile”)

Son of David and Sarah. He was born on the 20th of Tishrei, 5709 (October 20, 1948) in Kfar Hasidim. After graduating from elementary school in Kfar Hassidim, he attended a religious high school in Haifa (“Yavneh”) and spent the afternoons devoting himself to work in his father’s farm in the village, because Hagai was willing to help others, and certainly to honor parents. He belonged to the Bnei Akiva movement and showed a tendency to lead. As his name was, he said, “All is joy and joy” (according to his brothers, they called him “Haggai” because he was born on Sukkot and this day became a family for the holiday). His body was healthy and his soul gentle and the smile never left his lips. At the “Bnei Akiva” branch he worked very hard as a guide for his students, and at school he was an outstanding student, but he was never satisfied with this and would help the weak in the class every day. He was frank and when necessary he would tell the truth to his friend even if it was a bitter truth. The pat on the back was enough to encourage others and raise their spirits. He was drafted into the IDF in November 1966. He was a good soldier and despite the difficulties he practiced, he prayed three times a day and observed the mitzvot, and once the soldiers left for the holiday after the Sabbath began, Hagai gave up the vacation so as not to fail the desecration of Shabbat. , Where he volunteered for the Paratroopers Brigade and was among the conquerors of Sharm el-Sheikh in the Six-Day War, launched a reprisal operation against the Jordanian sabotage bases, known as Operation Karameh, east of the Jordan in which they were concentrated and from which enemy sappers went to Israel. On March 30, 1968. He was laid to rest in the Kfar Hasidim cemetery. His parents published a book in his memory called Haggai. In “Yishai Israel”, in the memorial company issued by the secretariat of the Moshavim Association of Hapoel Ha-Mizrachi, several pages were dedicated to his memory.
