Aharon Adato, son of Susan and Mordechai, was born in Turkey on April 15^th, 1929. When he was only 13 years old, he made Alyia without his parents, but with his two friends Avraham Ayalon “Eliezer” and David Gershon “Yoram” as part of the youth Aliyah.

He and his friends were moved to Agudat Israel’s boarding school in northern Israel. After a few weeks at boarding school, Aharon left with his friends, and they moved to live and work in Tel Aviv.

After the IDF was established, he enlisted with most Lehi members to the 8^th Brigade and served in the 89^th Battalion. He received the Lehi badge and the State Warriors badge. In 1952 Aharon married Margalit Bashari, and they had two twin children, Moti and Giora, and then a daughter named Anat.
