Yadini, Shalom

Born in 1945 in Yemen and immigrated to Israel with his family in 1949. The family settled in Moshav Tnuvot and there grew up Shalom. Shalom joined the IDF in mid-November 1962 and was assigned to the Maintenance Corps, where he underwent various courses and advanced in ranks. Shalom is often called reserve duty. In 1977 he decided to join the regular army. He was promoted to the rank of First Sergeant. During his service, Shalom married a wife and the couple had four children. On the 27th of Shvat 5744 (27.1.1984), a sergeant was killed while serving in the military cemetery in Netanya, leaving behind a wife, three daughters, a son, a father, two brothers and a sister. “His death was typical of his way of life throughout the period that was with us – that quiet, kindness and devotion”
