Kan 1948 | The Man who Saved Jerusalem from Dying of Thirst

Simcha Blass wasn’t even a water engineer, but when he realized that was what the soon-to-be-founded State of Israel needed, he became Israel’s water planner. When Jerusalem was under siege, Blass was the one who managed to get water to it, despite Jordanian sabotage.
