As a "Hovav Zion", Natan joined the "Menucha VeNahala" company, which was founded in 1890, and intends to eventually immigrate to Israel and settle there. As a first step, in 1891 he sent his 17-year-old eldest son Gershon to the streets, so that he could work for the Menucha and Nahala company and specialize in agriculture. In 1897, after the members of "Menucha and Nahala" received their plots, Gershon served as his father's successor and cultivated his land, while Nathan continued his activities abroad.
In 1908, Gershon built a house, which was to be used by his father's family when it came to the streets. In 1914, Nathan and Feiga liquidated their businesses abroad and came to the streets to settle there.
In 1912, Gershon married Shoshana (Rosa) nee Shulman. In 1918, Gershon received a plot of land from his father Nathan and became a farmer in the streets. In 1927 he planted an orchard in place of the grape vineyard. But with the crisis that befell the citrus industry in World War II, the orchard was uprooted and its land was divided into construction plots.
