Farhi, Joseph (“Jojo”)

Son of Eliyahu and Loti. He was born on the 14th of Kislev 5707 (November 14, 1947) in Cairo, Egypt, and his family immigrated to Israel with Yosef during the Egyptian immigration to Israel in 1949. He began studying at the “Shalva” school in Haifa. He began studying at the new high school in Haifa, where he was a talented imitator and participated in dramatic circles when he was a student, was a good musician and played the guitar. Even during the difficult moments, he developed his talents in the playing and playing fields, devoted himself to his brother, and always wanted to do the will of his parents who respected him. Before joining the Army he and his classmates ten days in a labor camp as part of the National Kibbutz Baram service on the Lebanese border. It was not long after they had arrived and Joseph was surrounded by babies. He played and raged with them and his broad, characteristic smile was on his good face all the time. He called the place so much that after a year, when he returned alone, he worked free of charge in the various branches of the agriculture. In November 1965, he was drafted into the IDF, but at first he wanted to be a combat soldier, but when he returned from his first vacation, he informed the family that he was in a naval commando. In 1967, he served as a submarine and served as a sniper, and in the Six Day War he served in the ” Crocodile, “which operated near the enemy coast. He was then transferred to the Dakar submarine crew and went to England to bring her home after the renovations. But on the 24th of Tevet 5728 (25.1.1968), when the submarine was on the sea route between Gibraltar and Haifa, the connection with it was severed – and it was no longer renewed. The Chief Military Rabbinate determined that the date of Yosef’s passing, in the course of his duties, together with the rest, was the 29th of Tevet 5728 (30.1.1968). Since Joseph was one of the missing team members, a memorial monument was placed inside him in a memorial to the Dakar people in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. In Eran Shorer’s book “Six Days in Decker,” his picture was presented. On the 28th of June 1999, after years of searching, the INS Dakar submarine was found on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 2,900 meters on its planned sailing route and 250 miles from the port of Haifa. A space whose burial place is unknown.
