After Menachem finished his service, he returned home and began working with in the Israeli electric company, demonstrating "Golden Hands" - the words of veteran workers. During this period Menachem also returned to the drawing, had new relationship with a girl and was looking up for the future.

On November 1950 Menachem went with a pickup truck to lay a new Electricity line near Kibbutz Gvar'am in the South of Israel. Landmine hidden in an orchard mortally wounded Menachem. Menachem Sofer died on the way to the Soroka hospital, Menachem was nineteen years and ten months old.

Menachem's drawings from Gadna and Palmach were grouped in "stylus Palmach”, and published accompanied by the introduction describing the history of his life written by Pinhas Ioerman. His paintings adorned the walls of public buildings in Beit HaArava and Avooka and they appear in several books. These works indicate the size and talent, that was prematurely terminated so brutally.
