In eighth grade he was sent to a psychotechnical test and it turned out that he had a higher IQ than the average, and since then he was called the “genius” of the class, but Yoram remained modest, helping his classmates and not bragging about his knowledge.
Yoram continued to the Shapira State Religious High School in Netanya, specializing in electronics. Since he was a child, he has liked to dismantle radios and try to learn how they operate. He graduated from ORT school in Netanya.

From every parent meeting, his parents returned with joy, after hearing the praise and praise of the teachers of their son. In particular, Yoram liked to study Torah, and every year he won first place in the Bible Quiz of his school.

In November 1986, Yoram enlisted to the IDF, he had a great love for the Land of Israel and its inhabitants, so he wanted to be a combat soldier in the army and thus reached the Givati Brigade, In the long basic training he graduated cum laude, as testified by his commanders in the beret journey.

Despite his many occupations, Yoram never forgot to keep in touch with his family. The commandment of respect for a father and mother was held with devotion, whether on visits or in telephone conversations.
After his military service, Yoram, who always loved to study Torah, began to take an interest in Torah literature in all its aspects: Tanach, Gemara, mysticism and his favorite topic of Halakha.
He attended many Torah classes and became a “bookworm” in all that relates to holy books.
His brother David said: “In his last years, he was able to finish tractates of Gemara in the framework of the daily page Little Mishnah books (Kehati) were attached to him everywhere. His dedication to study is exemplified by the fact that when he was working on a luncheon, he would go to pray in the morning at sunrise, and immediately after the prayers he would study for several hours. Afterward he came to his home for a few hours, and when the time came for Mincha he would go to pray, and from there he would go to his place of work … “
Torah study was Yoram’s life dream. “Oh little in business and busy in Torah,” Chazal said, And Yoram acted accordingly. He diligently and stubbornly learned daily, including Saturdays and holidays, the daily page. He insisted not to work overtime, preferring to invest every free hour in family life and Torah study. He did not agree to work during the intermediate days, and concentrated on spending time with his family and studying. After his marriage he worked for a few months as a security guard in a school, and during his work he managed to read many parts of Yalkut Yosef. Even in the last reserves, from which he did not return, he took advantage of every available minute to study Torah. He also told his friends about his ambition: “In the future I see myself studying in the kollel,” he said.
Yoram would behave respectfully and with appreciation to any person. He had no quarrel with people. In his behavior he served as a symbol and a model, thus sanctifying God’s name in public. So outside, and of course in his home. He always tried to keep his tongue against slander and gossip about others. All his life he was satisfied with his life as little as he could, and he did not take a penny from anyone. Yoram did a lot of acts of charity and grace, he was careful to remain modest, quiet and self-conscious in all his ways.
In the end of March 2002, at the beginning of Operation Defensive Shield, he responded immediately and only asked to arrive on Sunday so as not to violate the Sabbath, and his unit entered immediately at the beginning of the operation to fight in the Samaria areas .
On April 9, 2002, Yoram fell in battle in Jenin. In a unit citation issued by OC Central Command Major General Yitzhak Eitan, he described the battle: “During the fighting in the Jenin refugee camp, as one of the forces advanced towards a house, fire opened from several directions towards the force. In the ensuing battle, thirteen commanders and soldiers fell. The soldiers of the force he encountered, and another force that came to assist in the operation, fought valiantly to rescue their injured comrades until they were rescued. Despite the casualties, the company continued to fight until the surrender of the refugee camp. In recognition of the values of adherence to the mission, the courage, the friendship and the comradeship, the company is awarded a medal of commendation by the OC Central Command. “
He was thirty-three when Yoram fell. After his death, he was promoted to the rank of master sergeant, who was laid to rest at the civil cemetery in Segula, Petah Tikva, leaving behind a pregnant wife, three children, parents and five brothers and sisters.

Doron Kedar, Yoram’s friend, said: “I wanted to tell you a few things that are going through my mind, I know that souls are not limited in space and time, but I do not know if that means you can know what I think. And a model in your life.
I remember the reserve duty at Yad Yair. At the same time I became interested in religion, and I asked Shneor a question. He answered me hesitantly and said: ‘Just to be sure, ask Yoram.’ Only those who knew you from up close, knew that beneath the veil of modesty lay so much knowledge and wisdom.
About five years later, the hand of fate and his devoted messenger, the company commander at the time, Avi Attias, summoned you to the observation post on the Gedonim ridge. At first I thought I was going to learn to speak Chinese in this isolated place, but the second I saw you there, I knew that the ‘inhibition’ was for good. We spent joint shifts together, I asked you and I learned a lot from you. The many hours together brought us closer and we also talked about our families. You told me about your new baby and how much you missed. Even from the things you did not say, I learned how close and loved you were to all your family members. We decided to keep in touch even after the reserves, but it did not come out. Today, after I have spoken to Rachel, I understand that I did not have a chance. The family unit and the study of the Torah were the truly important things, and your spare time was divided with devotion and love between them.
I have three points left from you in the last reserves in Jenin, I remember your lighted face when you saw me and called my name, The light that illuminates the face of the wise ones.
I remember you taking advantage of every free moment in the training area and learning with Shneor Mishnayot …
There is a verse from the Song of Songs that I heard at your memorial service: My uncle went down to his garden for the flower beds to graze in the gardens and to pick up roses. ‘ And we are so missing the roses, but the perfume will always remain in our hands and we will never forget its fragrance. “
