Joseph Levy

My Great Grandfather Joseph Levy(ז"ל) was born in 1899 in Glasgow, Scotland. He was one of eight children. His whole family moved form Lithuania to Scotland in 1890.

In his early years after finishing school he worked in a shipyard on the River Clyde, on the construction of a famous ship called HMS (Her Majesty Ship). Later on in Grandpa Joseph's life he worked for a few factories making travel bags, school satchels, rucksacks and things of that sort.

My Grandpa Joseph was a keen zionist and raised money for Israel for many years. He was mostly involve in rasing money for a place called "kfar Blum" where trees where planted in his name.
