Though her husband still has more than four years of his sentence to serve, the couple felt that it would be better for the wife to leave for Israel with their two children. In March, 1976, Levinson was arrested on charges of “dealing on the black market in manufactured goods.” He was sentenced to six years at hard labor on May 29. 1975.
