It is possible that neither I nor my children will see the realization of the idea. But I want to make a partial contribution – as a simple member. “Menahem fell on the 15th of Tamuz 5707 (July 15, 1948) in the defense of Be’erot Yitzhak, while trying to help a wounded friend. He was buried in the wells of Isaac. His memory was placed on the pages of the booklet “In Memory of the Three,” members of the “Atzmaut” nucleus.
