==Biography==
Elyachar was born in 1898 in Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire and educated as an engineer in Paris before emigrating to the United States in 1928.〔(ELYACHAR v. GEREL CORP. ), FindACase.com, March 30, 1984. Accessed October 8, 2010.〕 He established the Straight Construction Corporation and built his business by managing foreclosed properties he had bought from banks during the Great Depression.
Elyachar enlisted in the United States Army during World War II as a private, advancing to the rank of colonel in charge of military intelligence for General Dwight D. Eisenhower. His engineering skills came into play in the construction of vital railroad bridges that helped clear the way for General George S. Patton's Third Army tanks to advance into Nazi Germany.〔Narvaez, Alfonso A. ("Jehiel R. Elyachar Is Dead at 90; A Developer and a Philanthropist" ), ''The New York Times'', March 30, 1989. Accessed October 11, 2010.〕 For his service, Elyachar earned the Bronze Star Medal and the Legion of Merit in recognition of his building "the foundation of modern military intelligence" during the war. He was also awarded the Légion d'honneur from the French government.〔〔 He later served as an adviser to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.〔
