David-Zwi Pinkas
David-Zwi Pinkas ( Hebrew דוד-צבי פנקס* December 5, 1895 in Sopron , Kingdom of Hungary , Austria-Hungary ; † August 14, 1952 in Israel ) was an Israeli politician and minister of transport of Hungarian origin.
Life
Pinkas attended secondary school in Vienna and studied at a yeshiva in Freiburg im Breisgau and law at the University of Vienna . As a Zionist he was with the Misrachi movement in Vienna and one of the founders of the Yeshuran movement. He was one of the 37 first signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence . In 1949 he became a member of the Knesset of the United Religious Front , a political alliance of the four main religious parties in Israel: HaMisrachi , HaPo'el haMisrachi , Agudat Jisra'el and Poalei Agudat Jisra'el .
In June 1952, Pinkas escaped an attempted murder by Amos Kenan and Shaltiel Ben Yair. They wanted to protest against Pinka's decision, who had banned all local public transport on Shabbat . Even so, Pinkas died of a heart attack after two months. He was found in the Trumpeldor Cemetery ( Hebrew בית הקברות טרומפלדור) buried in Tel Aviv. The Ramat Pinkas ( Hebrew רָמַת פִּנְקָס), is now part of Or Yehuda .
