    1 Oppenheim , Moshe (Moshe Op) Born 25 December 1926 in Niederohle, Germany Made Aliya in 1939 Joined the Palmach in 1943 Joined the Palyam in 1945 This is the Way it Was The episode of the weapons of “J” Company, HaPortzim Battalion, Harel Brigade The story starts with a prelude… I made Aliya from Germany when I was 13 years old. This was just three months after the start of World War II. I arrived in Haifa on December 20, 1939. My brother, who was three years older than I, made Aliya three months earlier within the framework of Youth Aliya. My parents and two sisters were killed by the Germans, but this only became known to me some time later. In 1940 I was accepted as a student in the Max Fein Technical High School in Tel Aviv and started to learn metalworking. In 1941-42 there seemed to be a danger that the Germans might invade Palestine from the direction of Egypt and the sea, under the command of Field Marshal Rommel. I was a bit young but enlisted with almost the whole class, in the Hagana. I swore my loyalty to a fellow called Al Dema in the Borochov quarter of Givataim. Al Dema was the director of the Herzliya Gymnasium in Tel Aviv. We began training, with light weapons during the day and had field practice on Saturdays. We often stood watch at strategic locations to make certain that the Germans didn't try to land paratroopers there. The peak of our service was during the vacation period of the summer of 1942 when we were taken to an English camp at Tel Litvinsky and swore our loyalty to the English monarch.

  • Memories of Palestine
    MEMORIES OF PALESTINE Narratives of life in the Templer communities 1869-1948 Translated by Peter G. Hornung Heinz Arndt and others Published by Temple Society Australia 152 Tucker Road Bentleigh Victoria 3204 E-Mail [email protected] .au Tel. (03) 9557 6713 Fax (03) 9557 7943 www.templers.org 1 About the book This book contains 46 stories from different authors, 544 pages, 60 photographs and maps ISBN – 0958722986 Price A$40.00 GST inclusive Printed in Australia, Trendprint (Aust) Pty Ltd; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 This collection of stories is not a history book in the traditional sense, but it has much to do with our history. The individual contributions should convey to what extent Templers are in touch with their origins and their traditions. This is how the story came to be told: Palestine, home to several generations of Templers, had been lost. What with internment and deportation, the point of no return had truly been passed for many hundreds of people. The new beginning in unfamiliar Australia was not easy. But they made it; they found their way back from dispersal to rejoin each other. After all the terrible times, fathers and mothers in reunited families told their children about Palestine, about the land whence they had come and which they could not forget. This book is more about oral history than reference. You will ‘hear’ the people talk; you will listen to their anecdotes, take part in their highs and lows, their triumphs and their tragedies, and perhaps look deeply into their souls.

  • Lapid Organization & Tourism Division
    World WIZO Lapid Organization & Tourism Division No. 109 August 2013 Dear Chavera, This issue of the "LAPID" is the last for the year 2013/5773. The High Holidays are approaching, and we are all getting ready to receive the New Year in high spirits and good health. In the section on Holidays you will find an article on the process of self examination and personal change that characterizes the period from the beginning of the month of Elul until the end of Yom Kippur. As with most Jewish holidays, food plays an important role but more importantly holiday celebrations are a highly effective means of binding families and passing on traditions. We have included a collection of family-favorite recipes courtesy of WIZO chaverot around the globe. Enjoy! "Successful Jewish Woman" pays homage to Leah Gottlieb, founder of Gottex, the swimsuit brand that has put Israel on the map of high fashion. Sticking to the theme of water, making a splash in Hollywood is the Israeli series "Hatufim" on which Channel 4's US hit "Homeland" is based. On the subject of the "The Jewish World" we present the fascinating story of the unique Jewish community of Iquitos in the Peurvian Amazon which is a true testimony to the survival of spirit, belief and heritage. Thinking Israel and Germany usually ends up with thinking Holocaust. Contrary to this, the "Templer Saga" highlights the positive contribution of the German Templers to the State of Israel. On a less optimistic note "Antisemitism" addresses the harsh reality of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiments Jewish community leaders are grappling with.

  • Footprints of the Templers
    Following the call of their faith, they began moving to the Holy Land in 1868. They were the first to successfully drain swamps and make the land habitable for Europeans. To this day, many traces testify to their beneficial activity. FFFooooootprints of the Templersss The Württemberg Templers in the Holy Land Templer settlements in the Holy Land Who are the Templers? First of all a necessary distinction: they have nothing to do with the Knights Templar of the crusader era. That order was dissolved in 1312 AD. The Christian community of the Templers evolved out of mid-nineteenth century Protestant Pietism. The Temple Society was brought into being by the theologian Christoph Hoffmann (1815-1885), who was the son of the founder of the Korntal Pietist Community near Stuttgart and a delegate to the 1848 National Assembly in the Frankfurt Pauls- kirche. Its special concern is to return to the core message of Jesus, to his promise of the kingdom of God and his directive to contribute to the making of a better world through personal action to bring about this kingdom of love and kindness. In view of the grave social ills of the time and guided by this basic attitude, Hoffmann and his followers saw the renewal of society in line with Jesus’ teachings as the foremost challenge facing a Christian community. They separated from the Church because they believed that, along with all the other Churches, the Protestant Church was neglecting this main task. They perceived such renewal to be achievable through a more profound Christianity, where individuals strive to align their life and the choices they make with the words of Jesus in the New Testament, and where creeds, dogmas and rituals are of secondary importance in line with the Society’s motto: Set your mind on God’s kingdom and his justice before everything else.

  • THESIS- THIRD Format Corrections Completed
    ABSTRACT Policing Palestine: British Security Strategy in Palestine, 1917-1947 Robert B. DeBoard, M.A. Mentor: George W. Gawrych, Ph.D. Throughout the British Mandate for Palestine, the British Government attempted to establish a policy that reconciled the dueling aspirations of Palestine’s Arab and Jewish communities. This thesis examines British security operations to suppress the Arab Revolt of 1936, Jewish terrorism during World War II, and the post-war United Resistance Movement. This study contends that the British adopted a colonial policing model that stressed the security forces’ reliance on native support in order to suppress active threats to peace. Second, it demonstrates that shifting British policy led to the alienation of the Jewish community, which had provided important support in suppressing the Arab Revolt. As Jewish intelligence sources dried up, the British were increasingly unable to counter violence coming from the Jewish Underground. This thesis adds to the historiography of the Mandate by demonstrating the complex relationship between British colonial policy, security strategy, and Arab and Jewish national interests.
