The rulers in 1788

Wow…unbelievable that it will be told.
Ricky Levine suggested that I write articles about the past for the younger generation. I agreed and sent an article about schools in the past.

Following the article, I received and still receive phone calls and messages from many teachers and others. They all talk excitedly about themselves, or their parents who attended those schools at that time.

Hagai told me about his father who studied at the technical school in Haifa… and David told me about the stunts his father did at the Titz school in Bigor, together with Uzi Feinerman, the inventor of the “Uzi”…
I was most moved by two graduates. One whose father was a fighter in Jenin in Battalion 21... and the other whose father was a Palmach fighter in the Joint Command.

So my dear friends, Boaz and David… I am very excited about the research you did about me… It turns out there are no secrets today, at the click of a button, everyone knows about everything.

So a small correction, I wasn't a fighter in the joint control... I was a fighter in control 10. Not far from the joint control.
Since your grandparents can no longer tell you, I will try to tell you a little, and you can pass the information on to your curious friends.

What were the controls and who is the common controller?

The control posts were positions of the Palmach fighters. They were established in high places and were of great importance during the siege of Jerusalem, from which it was possible to observe and control the roads and the movements of the enemy.

On the way to Jerusalem on the mountain ridge there were many signs, one of which is The common controllerIt was called so because not far from it were Egyptian positions. Remote control 10 Where I was, he wasn't far away either.

The Palmach fighters from the Harel Brigade, who were in joint command, fought with great courage. Their fighting was exemplary and heroic. They defended the road to Jerusalem.

And the place was important because of its proximity to Hebrew settlements in the Judea and Shephelah region. Today, where the joint control was, the city is located. Beit ShemeshMaybe part of it… because it has grown a lot. 
You probably know the song. "There were times, there were times when a city sat on the throne," This is the city of Beit Shemesh.

As I travel to Jerusalem today through Beit Shemesh, I am reminded of two things that I will never forget: that we were once here in dusty barracks and lacking food and ammunition… all young people who dreamed of establishing a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.
And the second thing about my work in the transit camp… in the Beit Shemesh transit camp, about which I wrote an entire chapter in my book “Fateful Mission”…

I am very emotional…tears are flowing from my eyes…I will stop with your permission…
The stories about those days and battles are very difficult for me. I lost many friends who went off to battle and never returned…
apologies.
