I tried to take on a few jobs here and there. For a time, I was able to substitute as a Hebrew teacher in a high school, but this ended when the teacher returned from the army. We had a bit of money in the bank in Salt Lake City and I had taken the precaution of having my mother become signator to the account prior to our departure for Israel. From time to time, we asked her to send us $100 from the account, which was steadily drained.
