Comments:
The sign is on the wall of the building where Joel Engel lived - composer, born in Berdiansk, Ukraine (1868-1927), immigrated to Israel in 1924.
Even before his immigration to Israel, he composed many songs, to folk texts as well as to those of well-known poets.
He was called "the father of Jewish music", mainly because of his influence on music in the early days of settlement in the Land of Israel.

Translation of the text on the sign:
