Rosen, Pinchas (Pinale)

Born in 1921 in Warsaw, Poland, to a family of Hasidim, he grew up and became accustomed to the spirit of the time, while preserving the legacy of the Patriarchs, and left the city during the Second World War. He was forced to work in hard labor and was forced to work in the Dnipropetrovsk area, where he brought with him constant pain from his work. Pinale was deported to Cyprus and arrived in Israel on May 15, 1947. He found first rest in his uncle’s house in Kfar Hassidim, He was forced to work in the “Vulcan” factory in the Haifa Bay, overcame his weakness and reached full production at the beginning of the War of Independence, and was recruited in April 1948. Pinchas concealed his pain and received combat service in the Carmeli Brigade. The head of the Syrian bridge in the Mishmar Hayarden area was a force crossing the Jordan River in order to sever the enemy from his neck, but was forced to retreat. In the ensuing battle, Pinchas was wounded by a burst of bullets and when they found him after 16 hours lying in a field near Mishmar Hayarden, he said in simple Yiddish “I am a Jewish soldier”. He was taken with his rifle to the hospital in Safed, where he died on the 4th of Tammuz 5708 (July 11, 1948). He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Safed.
