  1. ELAD RIVEN


    Elad Riven 16-year-old from Haifa learned in school "Realy". Only child in his family.
    He was a volunteer fire department. When the fire broke out in the Carmel forests he volunteered to help putting out the fire and died.
    He's really a true hero that despite knowing the risk of his life, he went to help put out the fires and save other lives! I think he's a very brave and considerate to others and not just himself. I wish he could stay alive!

    He was born in New Jersey U.S. in 1943 and his full name is Talbot Brody.

    When He led the USA team to a gold medal at the Maccabiah Games he was approached by Maccabi Tel Aviv managers to join their team and to help take the Israeli Basketball to another level.
    Brody completed his master's degree in educational psychology, and returned to Israel in 1966, helping Maccabi Tel Aviv reach the European Cup finals.
    When Maccabi Tel Aviv won CSKA Moscow in the European Cup final with a result of 91–79, Brody said His famous remark "We are on the map" became a part of Israeli culture and is often used in various situations and contexts, from political speeches to National Lottery commercials.

    Today Tal Brody living in Israel, and he don’t miss any Maccabi Tel Aviv game.

  3. Sara Aaronson, was born in 1980 and died in 1917.
    We think that she is a big hero and we read a book about herand we loved it.
    Sara became s hero becouse of her courage.
    In First World War she and he resistance group helped the British to remove the Turkish out of Israel.
    When she got caught by the Turkish she didn't give up and didn't told any secrets,and to help herselfnot to tell anything she killed hersel.
    We think that a hero is not just a person who has a courage, but when person would risk himself for someone else.

  13. I chose Brigadier Abraham (Abrasha) Tamir, who passed away on December 20/ 2010, as a hero from Israel's past.
    Abraham was born in 1922.
    He started his army service in the Jewish brigade of British army. During the War of Independence he fought in the Gush Ezion and was wounded three times. He was captured by Jordanians, released after 8 months and later took part in the preparation of the peace agreement with Egypt. He was one of the commanders during Yom Kippur War.
    I think that he was a real hero because he contributed his life to this country participating in every important event that took place here. We can learn from him to feel responsible for everything that is happening around and to try to influence it.

    In 1964 Yitzhak Rabin was appointed Chief of Staff of Israel military by Levi Eshkol.

    After he had retired from Israeli military, in 1968 he became an Israel ambassador in United State.

    In 1974 he was appointed Prime Minister of Israel until 1977. He returned to the job in 1992 until 1995.

    Following Rabin signing of the Oslo Agreements he won the Nobel Peace Prize. In the prize also won Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat.

    Ilan Ramon was born in june 20, 1954 in Ramat Gan' and grew up in Beersheva.
    He was a fighter pilot in the israeli air force, and later the first ilraeli astronaut.
    in 1997, ramon was selected as a payload specialist.
    He flew aboard STS-107, logging 15 days, 22 hours, 20 minuts in space.
    The STS-107 mission ended abruptly when Space Shuttle " Columbia" was destroyed and its crew perished during peentry, 16 minutes before scheduled landing.
