Moshe Nissim Smolizanski, birth 7 Feb 1849 Kalvarija, Lithuania, died 24 Jul 1894 Rishon LeZion, Israel, son of Mordechai Zvi Smolizanski and Rachel Gedalia Rosengold
Moshe Nissim came to Palestine in 1884 with his six children, and boughta large
plot of land in the newly established agricultural settlement of RishonLeZion.
His parents Mordechai & Rachel came a few years later
together with his sister Bertha and brother Yaakov.
Moshe died in Rishon LeZion in 1894. When his son Bernard
died in Paris in 1953 his grandson Roger discovered the land
that Moshe Nissim still owned in Rishon LeZion.
The grandchildren then sold the land after a long process in 1961
for 200,000 French Francs so it must have been a really big plot!
