Alexander Zaid, (1886-1938), Zaid was born in 1886 at the village of Zima, in Irkutsk Oblast, Siberia. His father had been deported from Vilna to Siberia due to revolutionary activity and his mother belonged to the Subbotniks cult. In 1889 the mother was murdered and the family moved to Irkutsk. In 1901 the Zaid family returned to Vilna but after two years the father died too. The orphaned teenager met with Michael Helpern, one of the figures of the First Aliyah, who had come to Vilna encouraging emigration to Palestine. Zaid emigrated to the land of Israel alone in 1904 under the auspices of the Zionist Labour Movement, worked at a winery in Rishon Letzion, as a construction worker in Ben Shemen and as a stonemason in Jerusalem.
