Jules, Naomi

Daughter of Elsa and Ephraim (Phillip), was born on 23.4.1931 in Jerusalem and graduated with honors from the Beit Hakerem School for example, and was praised by her teachers who were well-known educators. And joined the “Scouts” – “Shevat” (“The Scouts”), the “Hagalil” battalion – and when she was 15, she underwent a course for instructors. And loved by everyone. “Like many of her friends, Naomi volunteered for the Haganah in the framework of the Youth Battalions, and shortly after the UN General Assembly resolution on the establishment of the State of Israel on November 29, 1947, The first battalion was established in the village of Sheikh Bader and later transferred to the Schneller camp, where Naomi was stationed at the Magen David Adom station in the city. On February 22, 1948, the British blew up three car bombs in the Lev of Jerusalem, destroying four homes and causing the death and injury of many Jews, including Naomi, Yehuda, the Etzel attacked cars belonging to British soldiers and policemen. Out of a desire to avenge the Jews, a British tank stopped in the middle of the street and its men shot at the passengers of a bus through which the tank was blocked. In the shower, Naomi was critically wounded and taken to Bikur Holim Hospital, where she was born almost seventeen years earlier. The doctors’ efforts to save her did not help, and she died that day. Naomi was brought to rest in the cemetery on the Mount of Olives and was among the last to be buried there until the unification of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War. She left her parents, a sister, and two brothers. Members of the Scouts Movement dedicated a booklet to her in which they expressed their heartfelt feelings after her death. One of them wrote in these words: “In every joint memory of the members of the battalion, the image of Naomi is intertwined, and she was one of the only societies that everyone appreciated, yet she did not stand out and was able to impart her spirit to her surroundings.” “Naomi was not doing homework, she did not need to repeat it because she was an outstanding student, but out of respect for the teacher and discipline, I disagreed with her,” said Avraham Even-Shoshan, who taught them a story that characterized Naomi. “I do not want to embarrass friends and I ask that things remain between us. Some students have difficulties in their studies and I help them understand and prepare their lessons. If I do the lessons myself, I will not have time to help them. “Even Shoshan continued:” I shook her hand in agreement. Today I find it appropriate to tell about the human deed of this modest girl. “
