Biography

Born in Smyrna in the Ottoman Empire (now the city of Izmir in Turkey), Sardines made aliyah to Israel in 1949. He was amongst the founders of a moshav Geva Carmel, and headed its committee. He was also amongst the leadership of the Moshavim Movement, and managed its purchasing organisation.[1]

A member of Mapai, he was placed 28th on the party's list for the 1959 Knesset elections,[2] and was elected as the party won 47 seats. He was re-elected in 1961 in 27th place,[3] and 1965 (in 30th place),[4] by which time Mapai had formed the Labour Alignment alliance. He did not stand in the 1969 elections. During his last term, he served as a Deputy Speaker.

Sardines died in 1984 at the age of 66.
