Head of the Shabak – the Israeli Secret Service – (GSS) Yuval Diskin visited Kfar Chabad on Tuesday in order to pay a shiva call to the Piamenta family following the death of their father, Yehuda Piamenta, 84.
Piamenta, it turns out, was a senior official in the Shabak and according to Diskin he trained a generation of officers. Diskin added that the family has “no idea how much Yehuda did in defense of the state”.
Yehuda Piamenta is also the father of Avi and Yossi Piamenta of the famous musical troupe by the same name.
The family is sitting at the Lorber home in Kfar Chabad.

Only in Israel is the head of the Secret Service wearing JEANS!!!!! Haha, gotta love it!!!!
the famay knew he was my zaidy
If you know anything about federal agencies… usually the family does not know that a person is working for one…
French?????
The Piamentas are Yerushalmi! 10 generations in Yerushalayim. Now, if you want to write a book on how all 4 siblings became frum and Lubavitch, that would be something!
And to the whole piamenta family

People who work for Shabak – let’s just say everyone close to them pretty much knows. What they do – how high they rank – the extent of their operations? No one knows, and the family know not to ask. How do I know? Let’s just say, I know…
How did the family make it to Lubavitch? Arent’ the Piementa’s a French family? Did they spy on Lubavitch when they lived in Crown Heights of Kfar Chabad?? (just kidding!). Awesome family, Yossi & Avi Piementa are of the most respected and adoured musical Lubavitch family around!
thats awesome!!!!!!!!!
I myself once walked into his apt in Tel Aviv (10-15 years ago) when he was giving a pep talk to some young kids about to go out into the field, or on some sort of mission. He spoke about it too, he just never divulged too many details.
but not as much as there was. and never would have known what he was doing, where he was or who he was speaking to.
Sure they knew he worked for the Shabak, but that was about it. Literally up until his last days in his 80’s he would get picked up in different locations by different people and go train soldiers…The Chayalim he trained adored him and even in his 80’s was always “one of the boys”
Baruch Dein Emet, another great soldier of Israel has fallen. May The Piamenta, Meer and Lorber families know nothing but simcha!
Did the family not know that he was a Shabak Agent?
Morah Geni (Bleich)!!
Is the older individual in the first picture Albert Piamenta, uncle to Avi & Yossi, and a famous jazz musician and composer?
Thats really cool!!!
