Crossroad
Farmer's Hands
Tzemach's family had a few olive trees in Tunisia. He came to Israel, as a
teenager, in the earliest years of the modern State .
He lived in a tent city for a couple of years, until his group of Tunisians
were dropped off at a barren field between Ramle and Latrun. His
experience with the olive trees somehow gave Tzemach the confidence to
dig a well. This achievement, along with a meager knowledge of synagogue
Hebrew, earned him leadership over his moshav .
As more groups were settled in the area. Tzemach was sent to help them dig
wells. WIthout formal engineering training, he became Israel's first Water
Commissioner, and served in that position for ten years .
Aged 80, he still grows grapes and sell them to the Rami Levy chain of
markets.
Yitzhak emigrated from New York, and is well
established in the Israeli art scene.
Tzipora was his magnificent Yemenite wife, who shared
the beauty and hospitality of her culture with everyone
who was fortunate enough to visit their home in Ein
Kerem.
Tzipora has been gone for several years, but her
memory lingers with Yitzhak over morning coffee in his
courtyard.

send for Zemi to bring them in safely.
