Once he was reunited with his sisters, Naftali wanted above all to stay with them.  Bertha, Manya, and Zahava were all committed Zionists from before the war.  They had spent many hours participating in the Zionist youth group in Zmigrod and were eager to go to Palestine and build a Jewish homeland there.   Naftali himself was less committed.  The years in Cheder had left him more religious than his sisters and moreover, he never subscribed deeply to any ideology.
