Welcome to a brand new podcast series all about my great-grandfather. It’s based on a book he wrote, we lovingly called “The Diary of a Cabinetmaker”. It’s a fascinating tale of the time, of how people lived, the trials and the tribulations. More importantly, it’s a personal tale that I’ve tried to bring to life and I hope you enjoy this little piece of family history. Follow this podcast now, wherever you normally listen to your podcasts, so you don’t miss an episode. --- Hatikvah (The national anthem from Israel) courtesy of Israel Science and Technology: https://www.science.co.il/
