Imagine the shores of the Galilee Sea – the Kinneret – at the turn of the 20th century – a parched, blistering landscape. And the early Zionist pioneers – young people who had left Europe and their families to build the dream of a Jewish national home - had no air conditioning. We will explore the place, period, and phenomenon of pioneering. What were the hardships? And what was the dream? And where are we at today?   Links for Additional Reading: Go Cemetery Hopping — It’s Not All That Grave - Jessica Steinberg, Times of Israel Rachel Bluwstein - Dana Olmert, The Jewish Women’s Archive The Second Aliyah - The Israel National Library Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn!
