Kahneman, Isaac

Son of Avraham. He was born in the late 19th century and immigrated to Eretz Israel to take part in the work and construction of the country. He worked in various moshavot for a long time, worked hard and also contracted malaria. Then he moved to Jaffa, where he found his livelihood in construction, guarding, working in the port, and later in the markets. He was well absorbed in social life in Israel and would cry out for what he saw as an attack on the foundations of unity and brotherhood. He later joined Poalim and participated in the meetings of his committee. Here, too, he stood out as a person who challenges the manifestations that he did not like and the ideas that contradict his way of life and his worldview. But despite his beautiful integration into the country, he yearned for his parents and was eager to visit them. But this was prevented because of a flaw in his documents. Before the Passover holiday of 1921, he began to work as a laborer in Sarafand (Zerifin) during his work, was wounded in his hand and returned to Jaffa where he lived. When the bloody riots broke out in Neve Shalom he escaped to the neighborhood and on 24 Nissan, 2.5.1921, he was shot and killed by one of the policemen. He was brought to rest in a mass grave in the old cemetery in Tel Aviv.
