Translation of the text on the sign:

Isidor and Yaffa Srejski House

The house was built in 1936.
Isidor Srejski, a mechanical engineer, a member of a Zionist family from Warsaw, Poland, immigrated to Israel in 1925.
On the recommendation of the PICA, he joined the settlers of Binyamina, and engaged in agriculture. He planted an orchard, established a dairy, experimented with growing tobacco, bananas, and jasmine, which he excelled at and was called the "Jasmine King".
Between 1939 and 1945, he served as the village chairman, with security and education at his forefront. During his tenure, the library, a branch of the Popular Health Insurance Fund were opened, and the village garden was planted in front of the synagogue.
Yaffa and Isidor were involved in holding music evenings in the colony.
Isidor was credited with transferring many of the PICA properties to the ownership of the colony free of charge.
Family circumstances led the couple to leave Binyamina.
