That’s my shoe store, close to the Yarkon river in Tel Aviv.
In the Kibbutz I learned from a shoemaker, and then I opened my own store in Tel Aviv. I made special white shoes for the nurses in the hospital, with which we made a lot of money.
I hired two specialists. Paula and I specialized in orthopedic sandals for children. They sold like hot cakes.
