Shaked (Mendel), Benjamin-Menachem-Zvi


Son of Alfred and Hermina. He was born on May 5, 1947 in the house of Mary in Romania. After graduating from elementary school in Romania, he immigrated to Israel as part of the Youth Aliyah and stayed at Kibbutz Ramat Hakovesh, where he studied in high school and worked in various branches of the economy. He used to devote his leisure time to his hobbies – collecting stamps and landscapes. He was also involved in building a radio-crystal. He was very charmed by farm life. In November 1964 he enlisted in the Israel Navy, volunteered for submarine service, went to England and served in the Dakar submarine, since he wanted to serve in the army as a fighter and a professional, because he was devoted to his functions and his friends. But when the submarine was on its way home from its application in England, on the sea route between Gibraltar and Israel, the connection with it was severed – again it was not renewed – on the 24th of Tevet 5728 (25.1.1968) The Chief Military Rabbinate determined that the date of his death In the course of his duties, together with the missing team members, a memorial monument was placed inside the memorial for the Dakar men in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl In the book of Eran Shorer, “Six days in Dakar,” his memory was immortalized by bringing his picture on 28.5.1999, after years of searching, The Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 2900 m on its planned sailing route and 250 miles from the port of Haifa. The space is a machete – a space whose burial place is unknown
