Of the war, i was very wounded in battle. The siege in jerusalem in may of 1948, i want to the hospital, came back, and before the end of the war, that is how it looked then, and i never tell them, do not suffer heavy casualties. I do not remember us losing self confidence. People then saw goals ahead of them. At the beginning of the war, we knew that independence was lapping at our gate.

The village was in the center of the country, not far from tel aviv, which is one of the main towns in israel. It was a small village. Six families altogether it was very hard to cultivate, no water, for eight years, water had to be brought from the closest river, about six miles away. And then in the winter from the swamp, which was about three miles away. I would say a hard life. My father was a visionist. My father spoke about the avocado as the food of the future. They tried always to he recommended to others. He had a beautiful farm, of course. There were Security Problems. We had all the Security Problems nowadays you speak about. 61 years ago are you 61 years old . Yes.
