On May 1, 2016, Ben Yehuda became the first Israeli to climb to the summit of Mount Annapurna I, the tenth highest mountain in the world (8,091 meters above sea level), which is considered as the world's deadliest mountain. Climbing Annapurna is a significant accomplishment due to the high death rate of more than 30%, and until now only about 200 people from all over the world have successfully climbed it. To the summit, Ben Yehuda took the flag of Israel, and another flag bearing the names of Israelis who perished during the disasters in Nepal until that year, who he was involved in the search for many of them.
