Claim of importance appears overstated and cannot be verified via English language sources; no article in Hebrew Wikipedia. There is a passing mention of him in a book but no details about him as an "important founder" for Rishon LeZion. Support draftifying for interested editors to work on because notability claims cannot be backed up at present. Kazamzam (talk) 15:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can ping WP Israel and see if anyone wants to take a crack at it but otherwise I think this is a draft candidate since promising potential sources do not equal sources on the article itself.
