He found the bridge between the house and the “nest”, the “battalion” and the “nucleus”, because he always aspired to live with all his friends and friends, concentrating their trips, In addition to his exhausting work and his activities with his movement, he took his army career seriously when he reached the age of his enlistment in January 1955. He went to a sappers’ course, but in all his letters he mentioned his return to the agriculture, which he wished to build his life and the life of his parents. But his fate ran differently, and on the 21st of Tishrei 5726 (26.9.1956) he participated in the battle around Husan, where he fell. He was brought to rest in Zikim. The kibbutz issued a pamphlet in his memory and remembered three other kibbutz members who fell. In Uri Milstein’s book “Wars of the Paratroopers,” his memory was raised.
