Yitzhak was born in 1907 in Hebron, Israel, to Eliyahu and Venesya Abushadid. He was an intelligent young man, having finished high school at the age of 13, going on to study the art of silver and gold smithery at the Art College of Betzalel in Jerusalem, where he worked. He died with his father when the attackers broke into their home and stabbed them, while an Arab Palestinian policeman looked on, refusing to help. Yitzhak was 22 years old.
Yitzhak 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.
