Yehudai, Malka (Malkele)

Daughter of Rachel and Shalom. Born on 21.5.1928 in Nahalal, a member of a family of farmers in the moshav, she attended elementary school and agricultural high school in the moshav and excelled in her studies, especially in the Bible and literature. She had a strong penchant for poetry in which she was well versed and also in the sense of natural beauty and the pain of human suffering. Next to her bed on the wall she wrote Rabindranath Tagori ‘s poem:. . . “To the west, life has come down to clear the shadows of gold, and love has been broken from its amazement to sorrow, and will be carried into the sky of tears …” However, she was also a member of the “HaNoar HaOved” youth movement and in the Gadna, but nevertheless she had the courage and the desire to get out of her routine, and so she arrived at the Palmach naval company in Sdot Yam. She took part in the company’s operations, including an attack on the Giv’at Olga police. On the 7th of Tevet 5706 (December 10, 1945), she fell during her service and was laid to rest in the cemetery in Nahalal, where her friends published a pamphlet in her memory, including things about her image. The children did not know how to protect him. “
