Translation: 

After a year they married me. They married me and I went to the Negev, I spend seven years in the Negev. After seven years, the moshav was not good, so we came and stayed in Binyamina. Now I am in Binyamina.

I used to go to a woman that would tell us stories, and we would stay with her. Her husband used to go to the synagogue, and my husband’s father also used to go to the synagogue. My husband’s father told him “We want a good girl for my son”, he told him “Come, there are a lot of girls, take one!”. He came, and said “I want that one”. After one year we got married. Not in a grand style, but… they made it in the tent, they made food, and the wine, and a Rabbi came in the synagogue. He blessed us with the seven blessings in the synagogue and we came to the tent. We had the wedding, they made a good wedding, and that was it.

I didn’t work, I stayed at home, my husband, my children and I.

Good, but the moshav was not good. There were no crops, there was no agriculture, there was nothing… my husband was working with goats, there was nothing in the moshav, total wilderness. Houses, houses like in other places and that was all, it couldn’t be called a moshav.
