Before I knew what was happening, studies
were over, I worked in pharmacy for a while
to earn some experience and shekels, then
joined Hachsharah at the Eder Farm, was
elected Mazkir Gar'in Vav during the stormy
decisions of "Gar'in Vav, whither goest
thee?" Even so, I began my movement work
the very week that the first Vav group
departed for Aliyah. Ahead of me was a full
year-and-a-half of enjoyable movement work
in Manchester and Dublin, before joining the
second Vav group bound for Bet Ha'emek.

At the 90 Anniversary Celebrations

Penrith 1961 – Chanichim from Manchester. Can you
find: 3 Copitches, Phil Goldberg, Renee (Bowman)

Bernstein, Judy (Moss) Angel, Stuart Goldstone, Shirley
(Levy) Bates, Franklin Hessayon, Barry Coleman,

Johnny Manson, Lou Rifkin ?
The values and ideals I imbibed during those
movement years remain with me to this day.
In this narrative, I have avoided referring to
them, not for any reason other than my
preference for pure storytelling.

To round off the story like an arch, Jonny
attended our 90th celebration at Ramat Efal,
but apart from yours truly, he didn't know
anyone.
