The yeshiva in Hebron in the 1929 riots decided that such a thing should not happen again, and the young men should train with weapons and be ready to fight the enemy and the government that supports it. As a result, he joined the Irgun underground and began to work in diamond polishing, and with his natural talents (discovered in music as well: when he first sat at the piano, without any study or training, he produced Yaffa melodies), he was soon discovered as a prodigy in fighting, training and training. Head of the Nehemiah group, was transferred to Haifa and the Galilee in the name of “Sergeant A. Binyamin,” and his success far surpassed those of his commanders, who acquired many friends, educated them and guided them in spirit and deeds. 1948, when the need for brotherhood between all the defenders and fighters stood out, his parents thought that his actions were a blow A has already been made redundant and asked him to come home (one of his brothers, also a member of the Irgun, was arrested in Kenya). It answered them: “Right at home will be more comfortable, but at the same time clear obligation nation stands above all. The front is long today and extends all over the country … Only when our country is free and completely free will every young man be able to return to his home and build his private life unhindered. “Pinchas worked day and night tirelessly in organization, command and combat, Haifa, in retaliating against the Arab attackers and their foreign supporters – until one of his patrols in the defense post was severely wounded by an Arab sniper. He was brought to the hospital and despite his difficult condition his humor did not cease and he continued to encourage his friends who visited him, and even after he could no longer speak he remained clear and overcame his pains. The next day, 4 Adar 2, 5708 (March 15, 1948), he died of his wounds and was brought to rest at the military cemetery in Petah Tikva.
