Yosef Levi was born in Germany. He joined the Israeli office in 1913. During the years Levi became the biggest private land buyer in Palestine.
In the early 1930's, the north-west part of Israel today (the Western Galalee) wasn't in the settlers' map in Palestine. Building a Moshava in such an isolated place seemed implausible to them.
But Levi didn't think that way, he dreamed that settlements can be built in such lonely places.
When the 5th Aliya from Germany began, Levi saw the problems these immigrants had and decided to help them by fulfilling his dream.
