Shalom Elkayam

Shalom Elkayam was a influential person under the harsh rule of the Ottoman empire. He will always be remembered for fighting for justice.

Early years:

Shalom was born approximately in 1882 in Hebron under the rule of the Ottoman empire. He saw throughout his childhood that there was a lot of fighting with the Jews and the Arabs at the time. In 1912, he was in a market with his wife when he heard an Arab say a Anti-Semitic remark to her. He quickly reacted by beating up this man so much that he killed him. He fled from Hebron, afraid that he would be arrested by the Turkish people and joined the French foreign legion.
