Moshe Mogilevsky

Son of Hassia and Mordechai. He was born in 1914 in South Africa, and when he was a boy he immigrated to Eretz Israel and studied at Mikvah Israel, where he became especially interested in machines, especially agricultural ones, and soon became an expert on tractors, operating them and repairing them. After completing his studies at the agricultural school, he went south to plow the land of Moshe Smilansky, one of the country’s leading farmers. Then he moved to Jerusalem and joined the police, where he completed a special course with honors and continued with a wireless course. At the end of 1937, he was appointed head of the wireless department store and was recommended to be promoted, but he did not manage to do so. On 22 Adar, February 23, 1938, while serving in the police force in the Russian Compound in Jerusalem, he was accidentally killed by a bullet fired from the pistol of a British policeman. He was brought to eternal rest in Jerusalem, and was survived by his parents.
