Goldenberg, Chaim Yoel

Son of Tzirel and Nissan. He was born in 1902 in the town of Tshorny-Ostrov in Russia and immigrated to Israel with his brother when he was twenty years old. After the brothers established themselves in Israel, they managed to bring the parents over and together they built their home in the Mekor Haim neighborhood, near the Arab village of Beit Safafa. On August 8, 1938, he was severely injured by the shots of Arab assassins who ambushed him near the Arab village of Deir Yassin, on his way from the quarry with a truck loaded with gravel towards Jerusalem. Chaim was evacuated to the hospital and on the 12th of Av, 9.8.1938, he died of his wounds and was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery on the Mount of Olives. He left a wife, son and daughter, parents, four brothers and a sister. His son, Aharon, fell as an Israel Air Force pilot in 1953.
