Son of Ezekiel and Ella. He was born on the 6th of Iyar, 5639 (25.4.1939) in Kovno, Lithuania (today – the Soviet Union). He was named after Shlomo Son of Yosef (Shabi), who was raised to the gallows by the English – and he was the first slain; It is important to note that a number of languages were spoken around him, in fact, in a mixture of languages, including Yiddish and Hebrew, and yet the first words that came out of his mouth were Hebrew Was deported to Siberia with his mother and grandmother, and his father was sentenced to ten years in prison for being a Zionist in 1941. In the same year he was arrested by the Soviet authorities, and the mother was exiled to Siberia. – and yet she knew how to support him and educate him, and he was a devoted child in Shev Ya’akov and would give up the “pleasures” his mother would offer him, because he preferred reading material. Once, when he was nine years old, he accompanied his mother to the market; When he saw his mother selling apples on the way she wanted to buy an apple (which cost five rubles), he refused. “If you decided to spend so much money on me, you’d better buy me a book to read!” He loved reading very much and his teacher told his mother that he would grasp the material from the first hearing and therefore allowed him to bring a reading book to the class so he would not be bored with the lesson. His mother would educate him in a Jewish spirit and instill his awareness of why and why his father was brought to prison. He studied there in elementary school, read extensively and excelled at his studies, but his teachers prevented him from receiving medals and prizes that were intended for excellent students, saying that he was a “traitor in the socialist homeland.” He also discovered musical talent and had such a very evening voice that he had a future as a singer. After graduating from elementary school, he had to travel about two hundred miles to continue his high school studies. In the meantime, however, he had 15 years of age and from the age of 16 he would have to receive an identity card, but if he was to receive an exile card next to his parents, he would not be able to leave the remote village where his parents were permanently imprisoned. A daring 15-year-old program will take him to Soviet Lithuania alone, enter and study for a year in the appropriate class of a school there, and in the meantime he will receive a normal ID card in his new place of residence. Although this program was carried out and after returning from Soviet Lithuania to Siberia, to his parents, he continued high school. As an outstanding student, he had to receive a gold medal, but the medal was not given to him until the day he was supposed to award the medal because he was “the son of a Zionist criminal.” He chose the medical faculty to continue his studies at the university – and this was in the city of Krasnoyarsk, which was a few thousand kilometers from where he lived, but this did not deter the young man and he went there – and despite the great concourse he passed the entrance exams and was accepted as a full student. In 1956, when Shai-Ya’akov was a high school student, his parents submitted for the first time the demand to immigrate to Israel together with the necessary documents. But because they lacked identity cards as prisoners in the Siberian village, their request for immigration was rejected and did not even come to the higher institutions. But the boy, who had been plagued with a glimmer of hope for his immigration to Israel, had not fallen into his spirit – and every year he urged his parents to submit the documents to Aliyah. As a result, he did not belong to the Communist Youth Union, whose membership was necessary for older students. Only before the matriculation exams did the teachers force him to join her, otherwise he could not take the exams; He submitted the request to belong to the Communist Youth Federation and at the same time continuedTo submit his application for aliyah to Israel for a year. Finally, in the summer of 1957, his father was allowed to leave Siberia and return to Soviet Lithuania; And the mother arrived only after him in December 1957. He remained in Siberia alone and continued his studies in medicine, where the repatriation of the Poles living in the Soviet territory was nearing an end, and before that, until the outbreak of World War II, lived in Poland. : If a Soviet citizen “married” someone who has the rights of repatriation to Poland, these rights apply to him as well as to all members of his family – and when they were in Poland, the authorities there allowed them to immigrate to Israel. After graduating from university, he hurried back to Kovno in the hope that he would continue his studies there. Although the language of studies in his special group was Russian, he had to go to the exam only three months later, and he passed the second test of “marriage” (fictitious, of course) with a Polish wife with repatriation rights to Poland- Submit documents for repatriation to Poland. The struggle for this situation lasted almost two years and unfortunately ended in endless refusal by the Soviet authorities. The authorities hastened to close the files that had been processed and the unfinished ones were discussed in the archive. He returned from his Polish “wife” and immediately resumed with his parents the struggle for aliya in the framework of “family reunification.” Meanwhile, Shabi Ya’akov completed his medical studies and began working as a physician in the Phalange district of Soviet Lithuania. But in narrow and closed circles he learned to sing Hebrew songs (especially Beitar songs), and in 1964 the Danish Prime Minister Dr. Karag came to Israel and a friend of the family, MK Menachem Begin, asked him to lobby the Government of the Soviet Union , Which he traveled to (after his visit to Israel) for a visit that would grant the entire family an immigration permit. A few months later, the Danish ambassador informed Begin that the Soviet authorities had indeed fulfilled the request. After Shabai Ya’akov completed his service in the Soviet army with the rank of lieutenant (in 1964), he and his parents and grandmother received the permit to immigrate to Israel in May 1965. But the Soviet authorities tried to put another obstacle at the foot of the SJ: They agreed that the old parents would go away, but he, the young man, would remain “of his own free will,” since he was “a student of the Soviet regime who invested a great deal of effort and expenses in his studies.” However, Shabi Ya’akov did not give his consent to this malicious proposal and did not sign any document on this matter. In June 1965, the entire family arrived in Israel and enjoyed the joy of Shvai Ya’akov, and he went on to study at the Etzion Ulpan in Jerusalem, where he worked as a doctor at Bikur Cholim and completed his studies as an internist at Kaplan Hospital “In June 1966 he enlisted in the IDF on a permanent basis, completed his career in the officers’ school and continued his military service as a doctor in the Negev battalion. When the rumors of the Syrian front warming up he got up and volunteered there. Later, when he heard that there was a shortage of doctors in the navy, he volunteered to serve in it and was appointed as a submarine submarine doctor. Then he went to England, completed diving courses and specialized in medicine in this field. During the Six-Day War, he served in the Noga branch of the NGH, then from England, where he was there for his studies, and the second time when he flew to join the Dakar team, he sent cordial letters to his parents, friends and even his many friends in the Soviet Union Who were not forgotten – especially the Jews in them – in the submarine he would engage himself in debates and discussions on every subject, especially when the subject was political. He would also like to discuss topics related to literature, science, and, of course, medicine. Between conversation and conversation he would sit and study thick science books and new publications on medical problems. But when the submarine sailed “Dakar” to the port of the house and was on the sea route between Gibraltar and Haifa, the connection with it was severed and again was not renewed; This was on the 24th of Tevet 5728 (25.1.1968). The Chief Rabbinate of Israel determined that the date of the death of Shevay Ya’akov in the course of his duties with the rest was on January 30, 1968. After his death, he was born to the son of Melissa Hasson, Yaakov, who was among the missing crew members, was placed in a memorial to the Dakar people in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, and in a letter to the family, he wrote: “Your dear Jacob was not a submarine, As a physician, he believed in his mission and was prepared to embark on vessels he had never known before. From the very first moment we will love everything with its gentleness, modesty and gentleness. “The Etzel Dissemination Association announced a prize in its name and honor that will be given annually in public on the day of the birthday of the Shevi Ya’akov (in the first half of the month of Iyar) For the sake of a literary work in a story, poem or journalistic list of topics related to the conquest of the Hebrew Sea and its waves and depths, Eran Shorer’s book, “Six Days in Decker,” was dedicated to Dr. Ya’akov Maor. There were also notes in the daily press. On the 28th of June 1999, after years of searching, the INS Dakar submarine was found on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 2,900 meters on its planned sailing route and 250 miles from the port of Haifa. Burial place is unknown.
