Welcome to the third and final article in the series of stories dedicated to Moshe Jacobson's work during his years at the Shfeya Youth Village. This time we will also present photos from the village's milieu, including music lessons, agriculture and games, as well as images from Moshe's private life.
Even after leaving Shfeya, Moshe continued his public and musical activity, working to bequeath the musical education to the school's pupils.
Today Moshe is a pensioner living in Haifa, and many of his past students meet and praise him. His wife Hannah passed away earlier this year.
