Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • SPNI's Winter Ponds Report for 2014
    SPNI Seasonal Pool Activity Report 2014 Presented to the Swimmer Family Foundation Thanks to the support of the Swimmer Family Foundation the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) has expanded the largest preservation project for seasonal pools in the country. The project takes a holistic approach to protect these rare habitats. The winter of 2013/4 was the driest in Israel’s recorded history. This arid spell understandably caused problems for the creatures that live in the seasonal pools, and rely on the wet season to mature and reproduce. The support of the Swimmer Family Foundation enabled us to carry out vital work in a total of 30 seasonal pools in Israel, including the 5 for which we asked your direct support in our proposal last year. In these 30 seasonal pools we carried out an array of educational, communal, ecological activities, while working with decision makers to protect them over the long term. Altogether over 8,000 people took part in activities organized by SPNI to educate local residents about seasonal pools as part of our ethos that protecting nature is a result of loving nature. Map of Seasonal Pools where SPNI worked in 2014 Educational and Community Activities: We ran educational programs at 28 seasonal pools. These programs included class from elementary, junior and high schools, and informal groups such as scouts, kibbutz groups and other youth movements, and also adults in various frameworks. In formal education each class enjoyed one theoretical lesson in the classroom followed by a trip into the field to get their feet wet.
