My great-grandfather was born in 1885 in what is now Lithuania, and moved to London as a young boy.
I have pieced together information from various sources, to find out about his life and work in London, so that he could fulfil his dream of settling in the Land of Israel.
Episode 7 - Homecoming
Michael travels to Palestine again with Rachel, his wife.
Let's just say that it wasn't all plain sailing!

It’s a fascinating tale of the time, of how people lived, the trials and the tribulations.
More importantly, it’s a personal tale that I’ve tried to bring to life and I hope you enjoy this little piece of family history.
