Shreier, Abba (Abake)

Son of Itel and Mendel. He was born in 1924 in Lithuania and immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1924. He moved to Magdiel in 1926, where he worked in agriculture and was active among the workers as a labor center and council member, aware of every Histadrut public enterprise and active participant in all institutions. He was a member of the settlement committee and a warmhearted member of the local community, and when he was offered a salary he refused. Until the day of his death, he dreamed of settlement all his life, but even in the realization of his dream in Moshav Ein-Vered in 1933 he did not forget his friends in Megadi. On 6 Tammuz (07/05/1938) on his way to work with three of his friends to prepare an orchard, they were attacked by a shooting ambush by members of the Arab gang. Abba and his friend Mordechai were killed on the spot, and Shraga Orbuch and Aryeh Hacohen were wounded by mortal wounds. Abba was brought to rest with his three friends in a mass grave at the mass graves in Tel Mond. He left a wife and a daughter. His name was immortalized in the book “They Went.” Newspapers published lists in his memory.
