was born in 1900 in Melilla, Morocco, in a province of Spain.
He died in Cholon,
Israel, on 16 Tishrey, 5749 (27.9.1988), and was buried in Jerusalem. Mordechay
lived a long life in which he worked real hard.
As a child, when he
was 5 years old, he was kidnapped by Arabs who raised him for 11 years.
All the years he was missing his father was trying to find him. Since he
was a traveling merchant he went from village to village selling and looking
for his son. He also searched for his son in the mountains near the
city. After a long investigation, Mordechay was found. He was brought back
to the family.
Ever since, he was
raised as a very religious man.
Going
from door to door, selling his merchandise, Mordechay succeeded to support
and raise his 8 children. His nick name was 'Bicycle'. The name was given
to him since he was always running from one client to the other, to make
as many sales a day as he could.
Mordechay was a good
husband, a very good father and grandfather. Our children and grandchildren,
and all our family, will never forget him.
May he rest in peace
in The Garden of Eden Amen.
