When Barbara Fuld entered the Real Balfour Gymnasium, she changed her name to Bracha ברכה.

Bracha Fuld was assigned to H Company, and stationed in kibbutz Kiryat Anavim.
She was sent to a course for sports instructors, and after completing a strenuous course for section commanders was transferred to the Palmach פלמ"ח E Company, and was given command of a section of women soldiers in kibbutz Givat Haim.
Sam Zebba cites: "She was known as a thorough and exacting officer, demanding much of those under her command but even more of herself."
"She became an excellent soldier, always reporting on time, always neatly dressed, always following instructions meticulously."

In an exchange of fire with the British, while holed up with six Palmach פלמ"ח fighters in an apartment on rehov Marmorek in Tel Aviv תל אביב, Bracha Fuld was shot and badly wounded.
Three of her Palmach פלמ"ח fighters were trapped and arrested.
Bleeding profusely, she was taken to Jaffa יפו police station to be interrogated, and was later transferred to a hospital where she died.
