The greatest doctors of the community came to learn from him: Dr. Ticho and Zuckerman from Jerusalem, and even Dr. Mr. Rosh Pina is considered the inventor of a cure for malaria. In the 1920s, gypsum began to be produced in Menahemia. The rupture in the area is rich in the components needed for this industry.
