Rise up, Rise up, for you have the strength to do so. because you have wings of the Spirit, wings of powerful eagles . Do not deny them, or they will deny you. seek them – and they will find you right away.” (Orot HaKodesh, Rabbi Kook
Son of Leah and Yehiel, Yehoshua Menachem was born in Jerusalem on August 8, 1992. He was the second child in the family, a brother to Amalia and Alma (Shira). His younger sister Alma, always thought of him as an active and friendly boy, but very responsible. From a young age, he was affectionately called – Shuki.
Shuki grew up and was educated in Jerusalem. He attended Horev Elementary School in Katamon until sixth grade and continued to middle school at the Horev Yeshiva in Sanhedria. In the ninth grade, he wanted to strengthen and help build up the Jewish community in Hebron and moved to study at the Othniel Yeshiva, in the southern Hebron Mountains. After three years at the Yeshiva, he enrolled at a high school in Gush Etzion in the Hila program, where he completed his twelfth grade.
On March 20, 2011, Shuki enlisted in the IDF, where he first served as a combat supporter in the Air Force. In January 2012, he renewed his application to become a combat soldier. He was then transferred to combat Engineering Corp and immediately began his training to join the Elite Unit Yahalom (DIAMOND)
While fulfilling his training, Shuki fell in the line of duty on April 18, 2012. He was 19 years and 8 months at the time.

SHUKI, ALL WHO KNEW YOU SAID THE SAME SENTENCE ABOUT YOU: ” HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND”. WHY ?
In memory of Shuki, a garden was established on Bruria Street in the Katamon neighborhood of Jerusalem, the neighborhood where Shuki was born and lived. Every year, Shuki’s friends come to the garden in his memory and hold a meeting of friends and earthworks in the garden.
We are distributing wigs to different institutions, Cancer patients in Zichron Menachem, newly married Religious Ladies, and drag actors.
The wigs were contributed to the Shuki Hefetz Memorial Foundation, by Ido and Comfort Allison Naveh, and the Comfido family.
Achinoam Shaki (Benjamin) donated a substantial sum of money to a Yeshiva , sponsoring a year of Tora study in the Memory of Shuki..
