Protecting Israel's Forests Restoration – Heletz Fire Lookout Tower

Photo: Bonnie Scheinman Protecting Israel's Forests Heletz Fire Lookout Tower – Restoration A fire lookout or watchtower is the first line of defense against devastating forest fires. The Heletz Fire Lookout Tower in the arid, northern Negev is one of forty fire lookouts built by KKL-JNF throughout Israel as part of its comprehensive fire prevention system to protect forests and open spaces. The Heletz Fire Lookout Tower is located about 10 km northwest of the city of Sderot, which for years has been the target of rocket and mortar attacks from the nearby Gaza Strip. The 12-meter-high watchtower is situated on a hill, 145 meters above sea level. It overlooks the planted forests of Yad Mordechai, Dorot, Plugot, Karmia, and Gvar'am and serves to protect the area's extensive agricultural fields. The lookout tower, made of galvanized steel pipes, was constructed more than a quarter of century ago, and with the ravages of time had been in need of repairs that were carried out by KKL-JNF. The Heletz Lookout Tower is manned during the summer months, from April to November, and has proven effective in reducing the number of forest fires in this vulnerable region. It 5220# affords a panoramic view of about 20 km, from Kiryat Gat in the east to the Ashkelon seacoast in the west, and beneath the tower, which covers an area of 100 meters, is a forest grove with a picnic and recreation area, making the Heletz Lookout Tower an inviting site for visitors. Project components for the repair of the Heletz Fire Lookout Tower included replacing windows, raising the railings, installing a safety net around the staircase, reinforcing the staircase, and replacing rusted steel surfaces. NIS 50,000 - 100,000 Donors will be given appropriate recognition for this project to ensure the maintenance of a vital fire lookout tower. קרן ק ימת לישראל Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael Jewish National Fund Global Resource Development Division Projects & Marketing Department Jerusalem Photos: KKL-JNF Photo Archive, Jerusalem [email protected] http://www.kkl-jnf.org.il 5220# .

Natan Rapoport's Soviet Style of the Yad Mordechai and Negba Memorials
Chapter 14 Natan Rapoport’s Soviet Style of the Yad Mordechai and Negba Memorials 14.1 Ghetto Heroism and Israeli Valor The very same year of the Herzl gravesite competition, art critic Eugen Kolb met Russian-Jewish sculptor Natan Rapoport (mentioned in chapter 8) in Tel- Aviv. The meeting resulted in an article in which he shared basic, primary ideas about the nature of future Israeli memorials: At a time that many among us begin to design memorials for our War of Independence … Kibbutz Yad Mordechai did well in taking upon itself the initiative to entrust Natan Rapoport with the mission of erect- ing the suitable memorial for the Kibbutz Fallen and to the hero of the Warsaw Ghetto, whose name was adopted by that kibbutz—Mordechai Anilewizc.1 Connecting the Warsaw Ghetto fighters with those of Israel’s Independence War was a popular contemporary Zionist concept. Idit Zartal explains it as wishing to integrate the Ghetto uprisings into the narrative of Israel’s Independence War, one link in a chain of battles for the Land of Israel. It would show that the Diaspora Jews participated in the fight for a Jewish State and that the Zionist struggle for the Jewish state meant life or death. It associated the destiny of European Jewry with the right for the establishment of a Jewish state after World War II.2 Kolb’s great admiration for Natan Rapoport is quite understandable in this context; The Russian sculptor arrived in Israel a few days after the unveiling of his memorial to the Warsaw ghetto uprising in Warsaw (April 19, 1949).

Poetic Commemoration of the Battle in Huleikat Yael Shenker
"The world is filled with remembering and forgetting": Poetic Commemoration of the Battle in Huleikat Yael Shenker and Omri Herzog Abstract The battles fought at Huleikat in the 1948 war tell a tangled and compelling story. Israeli fighters from various brigades fought there in several operations, and the area's conquest in 1948 was strategically significant for Israel. The article focuses on three memories or in fact three strategies of remembering that revolve around the site of these battles: the monument erected at the place, a photograph of Hill 138.5 in Huleikat taken by photographer Drora Dominey that was displayed in an exhibition of Israeli monuments, and a few poems of Yehuda Amichai who fought in that area and lost his close friend Dicky. Emulating terms of analysis proposed by Julia Kristeva this article makes a distinction between semiotic and symbolic memory and argues that Amichai's poetry, like the 138.5 Hill photograph, belongs in a semiotic realm that breaches the limits of consciousness and offers an alternative to national memory. The article further argues that these three memories enable us to trace the painful paths of individual and collective memory as well as the ways in which death mediates among memory, remembering, forgetfulness and obliteration in Israeli culture. The world is filled with remembering and forgetting like sea and dry land. Sometimes memory is the solid ground we stand on, sometimes memory is the sea that covers all things like the Flood. And forgetting is the dry land that saves, like Ararat.1 1 Yehuda Amichai. Patu'ah Sagur Patu'ah (Open Closed Open).
