My eldest daughter was 26 months old. Then we started building our house. We also worked outside, I was cleaning and my husband worked in tar at The Municipality of Petaḥ Tikva. I gave birth to two daughters and two sons. I raised them without a car, without a phone, without anything. When I had to go to a parent meeting, I would take a ride with someone. We did everything on our own. I would clean people's houses. To help make a living I would also buy fruit from the people of the moshav, Rinatya and Mazor: grapes, apples, persimmons and more. I made compote, jams and liqueurs. My kids grew up, went to school and university. Our youngest daughter went to study art photography at the University of Jerusalem.

I attended primary school and was very studious. The principal approached my late mother and begged her to send me to continue my studies. The principal added and said, "Sima could be a school principal." My late mother did not want to, "she should get married" she told him, "and not study", and so I married at the age of 17. My husband was 22 years old when we got married. My husband was from moshav Rinatya and I was from Safed. As a child, I was stuttering, and did not speak similarly to others. I had a hard time talking and no man wanted me. The Baba Sali, from my late father's family, came to our house for Shabbat. My late father asked him to bless me so I will get married. He blessed me and that very month I got married. My husband's aunt knew me from Safed’s market; she came to my husband and said to him: "There is a nice girl, from a good family, and if you want I will introduce you to her and you will marry her." He agreed. "Even though she has a difficulty speaking – I want her." He came to me and I told him "it's hard for me to speak, you don’t want me – go away and that's it". He replied, "I want you the way you are." He came into my house, and within a month we were married. We lived in Safed for four and a half years. After two years of marriage I was not pregnant. Baba Sali came to our house for the second time and my father asked him to bless me. "I want you to bless my daughter to have a son or daughter." That month I was pregnant with my eldest daughter.
