After the Kfar Etzion massacre, his family settled in Kfar Pines.

Porat studied at the Bnei Akiva yeshiva high school, Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh, and the Mercaz HaRav talmudic college, and was ordained as a rabbi.

He worked as a religious teacher at several yeshivas.

1955

He is one of the main characters featured in Yossi Klein Halevi's Like Dreamers: The Story of the Israeli Paratroopers who Reunited Jerusalem and Divided A Nation. He served in Israel's 55th Paratroopers Brigade during the Six-Day War, and was among the troops that captured the Temple Mount and conquered East Jerusalem.

During this euphoric moment in Israel's history, he is quoted as saying, "We are writing the next chapter of the Bible."

He later said that the Israeli victory should have become a national holiday.

After the Six-Day War, he helped re-establish the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the West Bank.

He convinced Prime Minister Levi Eshkol to grant permission to settle in Gush Etzion.

He first re-established the community of Kfar Etzion.

Then, together with Rav Yoel Bin-Nun, he founded Yeshivat Har Etzion and the community of Alon Shevut.
