General translation:
When her husband made Aliya, he was a carrier, and lifted sacks to trucks. Until one day, this came to his mother’s knowledge who was still abroad at the time. She sent him a letter and asked him to quit this job immediately, and so he did.
With a partner, they bought goats and milked them. They made a living out of milking goats. She was the one who milked the goats.
Afterwards, they purchased sheep in partnership with a man from Netivot, until a sheep disease broke out and then he took them to another moshav - Luzit.
Thereafter, her husband built a petrol station at the entrance to Netivot. His daughter ran it with him.
