This is an explanatory movie and tour of the home and grounds of a Jewish family that spied on the Turks for the British in the first part of the 20th century. I'm so glad I got to see it and you will be too!

First Aliyah Museum

Reviewed By gittyb2015

Museum was made very well with intricate figurines, movies, and exhibits. The museum taught me all about the struggles the early pioneers faced, things I was unfamiliar with before.
