Haapalah / Aliyah Bet

In April, 1938, Amiram Shochat and Levi Schwartz sailed back to Greece aboard Artemisia ארטימיסיה Ἀρτεμῑσίᾱ.

In September, 1946, Reuven Yatir יתיר was sent to Greece, where Yanni Avidov אבידב was stationed, to acquire boats for Mossad le Aliyah Bet.

Levi Schwartz and Shaar 'Sharik' Yashuv looked for for orphaned Jewish children who they could send to Palestine.

Yanni Avidov, of Mossad leAliyah Bet, prepared Henriettta Szold הנרייטה סולד for the voyage from Greece.
Shmuel Samek Yanai שמואל סמק ינאי cites: "Yanni Avidov took the place of Levi Schwartz. Yanni’s chief aim in life was to save children. He, together with his helper, Shaar Yashuv (Sharik from Kibbutz Bet Hashita), went from monastery to monastery looking for Jewish children whose parents had left them there when they were taken to Auschwitz. They gathered about 400 children and brought them to a special camp. The next ship was to be for them. Even before we had a ship, Yanni had already named it the “Henriettta Szold”, in honor of the founder of the Aliyat Ha'Noar."

Levy Schwartz Shevet, Charilos Hortis and Yitzchak Abuzi Elshaik prepared Gavriella גבריאלה for sailing from Piraeus Πειραιάς.

On September 6, 1934, Velos 'וילוס ב sailed a second time from Varna Варна, carrying 350 passengers, organized by Hechalutz.
Both WZO and Labour Zionist leaderships opposed any further attempts.
The Jewish Agency opposed illegal immigration in any form in the years after the Velos 'וילוס ב attempt, and the opposition lasted until the end of 1938.
They feared that illegal immigration would affect the granting of certificates for legal immigrants.
Jürgen Rohwer cites: Velos וילוס, on her second voyage, sailed from Varna Варна, led by Levi Schwartz.
Katriel Yaffe served as Commander מפקד aboard Velos 'וילוס ב when she sailed from Varna Варна.
