I try to convince my mom to take me to Mazkeret Batya. It's a small 'Colony' that was built in 1883 under the initiative of Rothschild, supported by dozen Rabbis.

One of them was the Rabbi Dov Rodebsky, my great-great grandfather. The entire rodebsky family is well known and Cherished in Maskeret Batya, their other ranch was set on fire in 1936 but their main dwelling in the small town was left intact.

Problem is, I never got the chance to visit the place. My grandmother's childhood was rooted there, and I hope to get the chance to see the place, and hear about the Zionist history of it.

My mom said that she wishes to take my grandmother's oldest she has and put it in the museum there. It's the photo in my avatar, of my grandmother and grandfather.

History is importand, when it's combined with the ache of remembering family members, its twice as much important
