Rabinowitz, Binyamin-Naftali (Tully)

Son of Shoshana and Shlomo was born on January 20, 1928 in Jerusalem, where he studied until he completed his studies at the Hebrew Gymnasium. Naftali had a good temperament and quiet in his attitude toward parents, teachers and friends. In his final essay, in 1945, he reviewed the prospects of the world after the victory and determined that in a few years the number of World War III would also have to determine the future of our country. He refused to go abroad to study, because “soon the country will need every young man in Israel.” In the fall of 1947, he began studying at the Technion, but only managed to study for three months, as he was drafted into the struggle for the homeland. Naftali was transferred to the Jerusalem sector and was a Palmach force that lived in Kiryat Anavim. Set out with his unit to attack enemy concentrations in the Castel area. At the time of the battle Arab reinforcements arrived at Tzurik and British forces, and the Palmach retreated, and on that day it fell on January 25, 1948. He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Kiryat Anavim
