Biographical Details

Note. Sherman family lore has it that Jack Sherman and his son Alvin had contributed "money and other items" to support the establishment of the State of Israel. The recipient of these contributions was said to have been "a woman in Yonkers." The "other items" were arms.

Adele Grantz was the woman in Yonkers. She and her husband William received contributions from other Zionist members of the family, including the Shermans. As a businessman, William Grantz had financial facilities which enabled him to freely direct monies. Open contributions were made to Kibbutz Negba for, among other things, an ambulance, which the Grantzes delivered themselves. Funds were also quietly sent to an associate of Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun. The Irgun was more violent and radical than Haganah, which was the larger Jewish Zionist group in Palestine. The Shermans' contributions to Irgun were almost certainly used for arms.

Menachem Begin became the sixth Prime Minister of Israel.4,5
