Ben-Shaul (Berezovsky), Yaakov (Yanke)

Yaakov Ben-Shaul, son of Tzippora and Baruch Berezovsky, was born in June 1928 in Jerusalem. With the outbreak of the War of Independence, he enlisted among the first in the “People’s Guard” and spent days and nights there tirelessly, moving to the Moriah Battalion and being sent to the Mount Scopus guard. The road to Mount Scopus passed through the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, and when the war broke out, the movement was made available to a mountain in caravans guarded by the British army. On 13.4.1948, his convoy encountered an Arab ambush in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. Yaakov was one of the fallen in that attack. He was brought to eternal rest in a grave in the Sanhedria cemetery.
