Rafael Goldmann

In this photo, Rafael is one year old. He was a sweet little kid with blond locks.

Rafi started to work in my husband’s factory immediately after he had finished school.

We still own the store today, but it is not as profitable anymore. A lot has changed. There is so much competition, everything is produced in China, everything is so cheap.

Rafi is 59 years old. He lives together with his wife Hannah. She teaches Jewish History and her parents emigrated from Russia, when all the Zionists came to Palestine.

His daughter Odet and her son Adam live close to me.
