Rosh Pinna with Morris Zemach: Stories You Haven’t Heard -

Rosh Pinna is more than a collection of beautiful stone houses. To discover its character, we need to meet the farmers, pioneers, artists, hosts, and unusual personalities whose stories still live among its lanes and courtyards.

As we walk through the old village, I will share stories collected for my book, Sipurim Rosh Pinna’im. Some are connected to well-known residents and historic buildings, while others begin with small, curious details. Why were the doorways in Aharon Feinstein’s house so low and wide? How did a piece of cheese help save a fig tree? These local stories open a window onto relationships, hardships, humour, generosity, and daily life in the early village.

Rather than following a fixed list of stops, we can shape the walk around what interests you. We might place more emphasis on the settlement’s pioneers, its architecture, local characters, family memories, or the unexpected stories that rarely appear in standard histories.

This is a personal introduction to Rosh Pina for visitors who enjoy looking beyond façades and dates. Those who would like to continue exploring its stories can also purchase the book directly from me.
