... אבא היה בין מחוללי ומיסדי התנועה הציונית בסקאלה,
שביזמתם הוקם בית הספר העברי הראשון בעיירתנו. בתחילה
קשה מאד היה למצוא אכסניה בשביל בן טיפוחם זה כי האדוקים ־
הקנאים הטילו חרם עליו. אך בסופו של דבר, בהפצרותיו
ובהשפעתו של אבא, הסכים סבי ־ אף כי דאב שבניו עזבו אהל
תורה, והוא אדוק במצוות ־ לאכסן לזמן מה את בית הספר באחת
מדירות ביתו.Connected nodes
