Friedmann, R. Yitzhak Shub

He was born in 1893 in Safed. He received Torah education and was an outstanding scholar and a noble man. After being ordained as a rabbi, he moved to Yesod HaMa’ala and served as a rabbi and shochet. He dealt with public needs in faith and was a member of the Haganah. On the eve of Rosh Chodesh Menahem Av, on July 14, 1923, Arab bandits dressed in police uniform attacked the village’s horseman and tried to rob the mules of one of the local residents who had been grazing. Yitzhak was mortally wounded and was buried the same day in the Yesod HaMa’ala cemetery, leaving a wife. His life story and the incident in which he fell were mentioned in the book Nachshoni Hahula.
