A life's story intertwined with historical events during an unprecedented time for the world and for the Jewish people. A personal tale unfolding a couple's journey through years of turbulence, change, creating and building, years full of struggle and achievement, times of sorrow and happiness, and of learning and teaching.Avraham Avi Navah was born in Baghdad and moved to Israel with his family as an infant in 1951.
