Eliyahu was born in 1874 in Hebron, Israel, to Rabbi Haim Abushadid. He was married to Venesya Abushadid, and they had a 22-year-old son, Yitzhak. Eliyahu was a businessman who loved to study Torah at the synagogues during the evening. He knew his murderers personally, and tried his best to fight them off when they came to his home. His wife Venesya begged an Arab Palestinian policeman outside to help their family, but the policeman said that if he were to come inside the house, it would be to help the attackers kill them. Eliyahu eventually died of stab wounds at the age of 55.
Eliyahu was a victim of the 1929 Hebron Massacre. On August 24, 1929, a violent mob of up to 700 Arab Palestinians attacked the Jewish quarter of Hebron, citing rumors that the Jewish residents were planning on seizing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Jewish homes, businesses, schools and synagogues were pillaged and ransacked, and participants of the mob used guns, knives, axes and their bare hands to kill 67 Jews and injure 58 more. Most of the bodies of the victims were buried by Arab Palestinians in mass graves, ignoring Jewish burial customs. There is a memorial in the Old Hebron Jewish Cemetery dedicated to the victims of the massacre.
