Dalal, Uri

Son of Salim and Chekhle. Born on July 15, 1934, in Baghdad, Iraq, where he studied and completed elementary school and then spent two years in high school, he worked with his father as an import and export agent at an early age, In August 1952 but was released six months later because the family was very extensive and needed his help – and he was the eldest son. He began to work as a traveling intermediary. After that he became a hairdresser. He was quiet and modest, contented himself with little and was Simcha. He loved to help anyone who wanted to, and always did so willingly – and was therefore loved by all who knew him. In May, before the Six-Day War, called to reserve duty, and on the second day of the battles, on the 27th of Iyar 5727 (June 6, 1967), he fell in an attack on the target in Sheikh Abdul Aziz. Was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. The commander of his unit, in a letter of condolence to his family, wrote that he had given his life with courage “unparalleled in a sense of mission and purpose of truth” in the synagogue of the Iraqi Jews, at Tel Giborim, a Torah scroll was added to them.
