The narrative follows Dr. Mordechai Helfman, a Ukrainian Jew whose life was shaped by the tumultuous events of the early 20th century. Fleeing anti-Semitic persecution, he pursued medical studies in Prague and Berlin, eventually specializing in ophthalmology. His passion for Zionism drove him to play a pivotal role in preparing Jews for immigration to Mandatory Palestine. Based in Jerusalem, he dedicated himself to fundraising for the Jewish community while practicing medicine, contributing significantly to the establishment of Israel in 1948.
