Biography edit
Born in Yemen in the Ottoman Empire, Shaki made aliyah to Palestine in 1914. He was educated at a religious school and college, before attending a religious teachers' seminary. He also studied at the Institute for Middle Eastern Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In 1929 he began working as a teacher in Hadera, before switching to Tel Aviv the following year, where he worked until 1951. Between 1950 and 1951 he was headmaster of a religious school in a Yemenite ma'abara in Ein Shemer. From 1952 until 1963 he was headmaster of a school in Bnei Brak.
A member of Hapoel HaMizrachi and, from 1956, the National Religious Party, Shaki was on the party's list for the 1961 elections. Although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 8 November 1962 as a replacement for the deceased Mordechai Nurock.[1] However, he lost his seat in the 1965 elections.
His daughter, Tehila, is the wife of Breslov rosh yeshiva Eliezer Berland.[2] He died in 1990.
