The only squabbles we may have between us and the Ozzies is when there are rugby matches… or cricket.” Another “huge factor,” continues Daniel, “has also been the IDC Herzliya which is attracting more and more South Africans to study there in English. This is only going to increase with the chaos taking place at South Africa universities.” Project Management and Project & Property Development One new Olah that Daniel’s committee welcomed in February was Kelly Brook from Johannesburg who last year was Mazkira Klali (Secretary General) of Habonim Dror in South Africa. She joins her brother Josh, who made Aliyah a few years back and who is active with the Lone Soldiers’ centre in Jerusalem. Kelly has joined her youth movement garin in Haifa. “We are mostly Australians, North All Smiles. Kelly Brook arrives on Aliyah. Americans, one Argentinian and me,” says Kelly. Apart from attending ulpan, Kelly will be the madricha for this year’s Habonim Shnat group from South Africa. Kelly foresees many more “of the chevra from South Africa” making Aliyah. “There has been a change in atmosphere in recent years in the Movement – a Zionist reinvigoration; we see this same development in Australian Habonim. Our garin is a product of this development in both countries”. With all these exciting developments, “We are ready and waiting,” says Telfed’s Youth Committee Chairman, Daniel.

It was only from the Second Lebanese War, he was no longer allowed in the frontline but could bring supplies by truck “to my boys.” On the 15th of June 1967, “we were lined up under our camouflage nets, amongst the trees at the side of the road in company formation. We had orders not to move around too much so that we would not be spotted by the Egyptian air force. At daybreak, we saw our airplanes fly over us, flip their wings in salute, and continue towards the Sinai. Suddenly a dispatch rider on a motorbike came charging down between our columns shouting, “switch on your radios.” As soon as we did, we heard the password “red sheet” and the orders “move, move, move”! We launched our attack against the Egyptian forces in Sinai.” Towering Teperson. Having participated in all Israel’s wars, David Migdal’s division was ordered to break through a fortified “Migdal” Teperson visiting the sites of previous battles, including the stronghold at Rafiah, situated between the Gaza strip, Sinai Six Day War. and Israel.

We heard the Egyptian news broadcasts in English Total, 5,043 and Hebrew. They were reporting on major battles being waged towards Tel Aviv, with hundreds of Israeli dead and prisoners of war taken. We were also listening to the Israeli news, on which we heard that east Jerusalem, and the Western Wall had been captured by our paratroopers. On hearing the news, the boys cried, especially the old soldiers who had fought in the 1948 war.” Migdal would fight all the way to the Suez Canal and remained there after the ceasefire. “Being English speaking, whenever international newspaper reporters arrived, it was my duty to explain to them whatever was permitted about our lines and about the battle. I met many famous reporters and media people, for instance the photojournalists from Time-Life.

Wanting to educate people as to what Jewish life was like in the Old City before the exile in 1948, Mendel invested in the restoration of an ancient stone house located between the Armenian and the Jewish quarters of the Old City in Or Ha’Chaim Street. Today it is known as the Old Yishuv Court Museum and provides a window into Jewish life in the Old City in the 19th century, revealing how Jewish families communally lived together around a central courtyard. The museum opened on the 28th April 1976 by President Eprahim Katzir. Today, in the 21st century, Jewish life in the Old City is more vibrant than ever before in history.

Fifty years on from the Six Day War and the reunification of Jerusalem, the nation is strong. Israel is a vibrant democracy in a neighbourhood of autocracies. Its economy is booming 29 and its universities are churning out graduates that will spearhead our small country into a big future. Men with a Mission.

The only squabbles we may have between us and the Ozzies is when there are rugby matches… or cricket.” Another “huge factor,” continues Daniel, “has also been the IDC Herzliya which is attracting more and more South Africans to study there in English. This is only going to increase with the chaos taking place at South Africa universities.” Project Management and Project & Property Development One new Olah that Daniel’s committee welcomed in February was Kelly Brook from Johannesburg who last year was Mazkira Klali (Secretary General) of Habonim Dror in South Africa. She joins her brother Josh, who made Aliyah a few years back and who is active with the Lone Soldiers’ centre in Jerusalem. Kelly has joined her youth movement garin in Haifa. “We are mostly Australians, North All Smiles. Kelly Brook arrives on Aliyah. Americans, one Argentinian and me,” says Kelly. Apart from attending ulpan, Kelly will be the madricha for this year’s Habonim Shnat group from South Africa. Kelly foresees many more “of the chevra from South Africa” making Aliyah. “There has been a change in atmosphere in recent years in the Movement – a Zionist reinvigoration; we see this same development in Australian Habonim. Our garin is a product of this development in both countries”. With all these exciting developments, “We are ready and waiting,” says Telfed’s Youth Committee Chairman, Daniel.

here – he held the exclusive honour in the IDF of having participated in every war from 1948 to Protective Edge - mostly in combat. It was only from the Second Lebanese War, he was no longer allowed in the frontline but could bring supplies by truck “to my boys.” On the 15th of June 1967, “we were lined up under our camouflage nets, amongst the trees at the side of the road in company formation. We had orders not to move around too much so that we would not be spotted by the Egyptian air force. At daybreak, we saw our airplanes fly over us, flip their wings in salute, and continue towards the Sinai. Suddenly a dispatch rider on a motorbike came charging down between our columns shouting, “switch on your radios.” As soon as we did, we heard the password “red sheet” and the orders “move, move, move”! We launched our attack against the Egyptian forces in Sinai.” Towering Teperson. Having participated in all Israel’s wars, David Migdal’s division was ordered to break through a fortified “Migdal” Teperson visiting the sites of previous battles, including the stronghold at Rafiah, situated between the Gaza strip, Sinai Six Day War. and Israel. For Migdal, it felt like déjà vu. Following the War of Independence, the 1956 war and “now again in 1967 – this List of countries from which volunteers came was the third time I was fighting in the same area.” and their numbers as at the 5th July, 1967. His division’s objective was to cut off El Arish. “We captured close to 800 Egyptian prisoners of war, who we kept in a England, 1,295 Southern Africa, 861 France, 607 temporary stockade. I had taken prisoners of war around USA, 301 Belgium, 285 Argentinia, 277 the same position in 1948 as a corporal; in 1956 as a platoon Spain, Germany, Switzerland & Austria, 262 commander, and now again, in 1967 as number 2 company Canada, 236 Scandinavia, 135 Uruguay, 117 commander.” Australia, 111 Italy, 110 Holland, 90 Brazil, 68 Chile, 66 While waiting to move on, “we listened to a small battery Venezuela, 55 Other Latin countries, 164 radio. We heard the Egyptian news broadcasts in English Total, 5,043 and Hebrew. They were reporting on major battles being waged towards Tel Aviv, with hundreds of Israeli dead and prisoners of war taken. We were also listening to the Israeli news, on which we heard that east Jerusalem, and the Western Wall had been captured by our paratroopers. On hearing the news, the boys cried, especially the old soldiers who had fought in the 1948 war.” Migdal would fight all the way to the Suez Canal and remained there after the ceasefire. “Being English speaking, whenever international newspaper reporters arrived, it was my duty to explain to them whatever was permitted about our lines and about the battle. I met many famous reporters and media people, for instance the photojournalists from Time-Life. My family from abroad would send me clippings from their local newspapers with articles in which I featured.” 27 Le[\i=`i\ Far from Migdal in the Sinai, was 31-year-old Ian Rogow fighting fiercely on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

The three projects in the reunited Jerusalem were: The City standing, where King David established his kingdom and of David, the Western Wall Tunnels and the Old Yishuv he chose this sight, rather than the high ground where the Court Museum. Old City stands today, because beneath us lay the source Back in the seventies “when few had even heard of the of water.” original capital of the Jewish People we began preparations While today, most tourists to Israel will take the tunnel here at the City of David,” explained Mendel on his 70th tour next to the Western Wall, few would be aware that birthday, while acting as a guide through the City of David it was Mendel that sponsored Dr. Dan Bahat, the district with the late Dr. Yigal Shiloh who carried out the early archaeologist of Jerusalem for many years, to make a excavations. detailed plan of the Western Wall area. “This was the first “It was here,” continued Mendel, “where we are now time that this had been done,” revealed Mendel. Wanting to educate people as to what Jewish life was like in the Old City before the exile in 1948, Mendel invested in the restoration of an ancient stone house located between the Armenian and the Jewish quarters of the Old City in Or Ha’Chaim Street. Today it is known as the Old Yishuv Court Museum and provides a window into Jewish life in the Old City in the 19th century, revealing how Jewish families communally lived together around a central courtyard. The museum opened on the 28th April 1976 by President Eprahim Katzir. Today, in the 21st century, Jewish life in the Old City is more vibrant than ever before in history.

Fifty years on from the Six Day War and the reunification of Jerusalem, the nation is strong. Israel is a vibrant democracy in a neighbourhood of autocracies.
