Beseukevich, Nehemiah (Memi)

The only son of Fruma and Shalom was born on Wednesday, February 25, 1928, in Tel Aviv to a family of rabbis in Russia named after his grandmother, Rebbetzin Nechama, who died in Kiddush Hashem during the Yelisabatgrad riots. He was well-versed in the Israeli tradition, the family heritage, and the values ​​of work in the process of living the people and the land, and was aware of the aspirations of the nation and the problems of their fulfillment. , Took upon himself the role of “good seeker of his people” in the form of the speech he was prepared to bear at the United Nations General Assembly if he were to send the mission there Satisfaction with Israel. Nehemiah liked good music, had an excellent hearing and could whistle the symphonies he listened to with great pleasure. He was heartfeltly devoted to his parents, who worked for him despite their precarious health, and prepared to be of help to them when he graduated. He gave up his studies and went to work. After various searches and experiments, he was accepted to work as a warehouse manager at the Green Brothers Medical Center, and was later transferred to the bookkeeping department. When he reached the age of his age, he was conscripted into the service of the motherland on the day he was twenty years old, and to his energetic demand, his parents refrained from requesting his release from service as an only son. After training, he joined the Givati ​​Brigade. Took part in operations against the village of Yasur and was later transferred to the far south. He always reassured his parents that his condition was very good and only his sister confided that he was participating in actual battles and recently served in Gat and served mainly accompanied by caravans in the Negev. During the heavy bombardment of Tel Aviv, he arrived home for six days off, and at the time of the siren he helped the house’s residents carry the children to the shelter. After only four days of vacation, he was called back to his battalion and participated in the battles of Daras and Jolis and others. He was recently called, despite his poor health, to participate in the attack on Iraq al-Manshiyya on the night of July 28, 1948-27. The attack was carried out as part of Operation “G-1” in order to open a corridor beyond the Negev. The attacking force encountered stiff resistance and was forced to retreat. While giving urgent help to a wounded friend, he ignored the need to beware, rose from the shelter and was seriously injured in the stomach. During the four days he spent in the hospital in Bilu, he was always clear-minded and tried to calm and encourage his mother, and warned repeatedly that she would not cry.
