Yoram Glass was born in Kibbutz Hefziba in 1951. Yoram lost his father at a young age, and suffered from asthma during his childhood. In addition he was a gifted violinist and student. Consequently, Yoram didn’t have to serve in a combat unit. Nevertheless, Yoram volunteered to serve in the armoured corpses and became a tank commander. Yoram was killed in the Golan Heights on the second day of the Yom Kippur War, 7 October, 1973.
