Since
the children had moved away and she was left alone, Rahela decided to
fulfill her longstanding wish to move to Israel and to die in the Holy
Land. Her son Gedalja accompanied her to the ship, which sailed from Split.
When she arrived in Israel she educated Jewish children since she new
Jewish history and how to read and write Hebrew quite well. She was in
Israel when WWI broke out. Nostalgia and sadness overcame her. She was
worried about her children. Unfortunately, she only managed to return to
Bosnia in 1918. She died in Sarajevo in 1930. Before her death my father,
my mother and my two sisters and I went to visit her. That is the first and
last time I saw her.
