Mitchmacher, Yitzhak

Son of Rachel and Anshel, was born on December 24, 1932 in Tel Aviv. Yitzhak studied at the Talmud Torah and, thanks to his good perception and desire to continue the legacy of his father’s house, found his place in the preparatory yeshiva of Heichal HaTalmud, where he successfully studied for several years. His love of the homeland and the pain of its sacredness, which was being wrought by strangers, did not allow him to sit peacefully on the pages of the Gemara. In matters of his own accord he was lenient, both by nature and as a result of his education, but he could not give up the land of Israel and his honor. “On the grave of my forefathers in Hebron shall foreigners be kept, and in the city of David shall foreigners rule? He explained to his comrades the reasons for joining the Lehi underground, and when he was 16 he had already trained in various weapons and participated in operations and guard duty and even began to guide new members, including older ones. Was about to embark on another training course with weapons that he had not known before, and was Simcha to see the possibility that he would then strike the enemy, and he ended his bomb attack on Rishon LeZion and killed him and his father on May 3, 1948 ) Was brought to rest at the military cemetery in Rishon Letzion.
