English: Benjamin (better pronounced the French way) is sitting in his narrow crypty workshop in central Hadar with the outmoded Singer, and making clothes for the residents, from whom he also receives repair works. He has three sons, all maried - of whom one lives in San Francisco and another in Ramat HaSharon, and is very proud of them. He came from Paris, and his elitist mellah accent when practicing both French and Hebrew is anything but a shameface. He travels the bus from his Kiryat Ata home each morning, including Fridays, always with the necktie on. “A habit” - he shoots the one-word explanation straight without letting his eyes from the fabric.
