Бившата ми шефка ме учеше, по този начин с ляво и дясно 

 

Жаки, Честит Рожден ден на Роби! Да е жив и здрав!

Sarikah Levi (Shulamit Shamir) was born in Sofia, Bulgaria on April 19, 1923, to Hannah and Eliyahu Levi. Her Sephardi family was traditional in its Judaism. It was in her grandfather’s home that she absorbed her Zionist longings. Attending Hebrew elementary school and a Bulgarian gymnasium, she joined Betar at an early age. When she was in eighth grade she left school and, together with a group of fellow Betar members, immigrated to Erez Israel illegally, on a rickety boat, arriving in the country in 1941. Stopped by the British, the passengers were arrested and held in the Atlit camp. Upon her release in 1942, she joined the ranks of Lehi. As the runner for ”Michael” (Yizhak Yzernitzky Shamir, b. 1915), she was entrusted with especially sensitive tasks, such as transferring the orders for the escape from the Mazra’a detention camp to the twenty Lehi members imprisoned there; in 1944, she accompanied Eliyahu Bet-Zuri to the train to Cairo, unaware that his assignment was to assassinate Lord Moyne.
 
Shulamit married Shamir, who became Israel’s prime minister in 1983. After the birth of their oldest son, Yair, in 1945, Shulamit continued her underground activities. Arrested in 1947 by the CID, she went on a hunger strike for eleven days. She was released on May 1, 1948. She was a devoted companion to her husband and spent a great deal of time in voluntary work on behalf of the needy and deprived. She established and served as president of the Society for the Elderly. The government of Bulgaria bestowed an award on her for her active role in renewing relations between Israel and Bulgaria.
