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.

    Together We Are Shaping a Better Israel

    TOGETHER WE ARE SHAPING A BETTER ISRAEL “WHEN WE FIGHT HARD ENOUGH, WHEN WE MOBILIZE LARGE ENOUGH, WHEN WE CALL LOUD ENOUGH, AND WHEN WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY, WE WILL SUCCEED.” Tamara Newman, Hotline for Refugees & Migrants and winner of the NIF UK Human Rights Awards 2018 TOGETHER WE ARE TAKING ACTION – AND IT’S WORKING Throughout 2018, we have been inspired by the tens of thousands of Israelis working together with our supporters here in the UK, who have taken a collective stand for the values of democracy, equality and justice. We have shown repeatedly that out of even the most difficult moments positive change can emerge. The stories we share in this review attest to our impact. 2018 WAS A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR FOR NIF IN THE UK. WITH YOUR HELP, WE WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE MORE PEOPLE – AND RAISE MORE MONEY – THAN EVER BEFORE. We raised an incredible £3.85 MILLION this year for our partner organisations in Israel and our educational work in the UK, and we achieved a 13% GROWTH in the number of donors. We also saw a significant increase in audience, with over4,800 PEOPLE REACHED through 67 events and speaking engagements. Our success this year reflects our growing relevance within the British Jewish community, and recognises an increasing number of people who identify with the powerful vision of Israel that we represent. We have learnt that when we amplify our voice, the voices of all those who support us are amplified too. We are proud that our commitment to building a better, more tolerant and more inclusive Israeli society is one that rings true with so many people here in the UK.

    Kibbutz Fiction and Yishuv Society on the Eve of Statehood: the Ma'agalot

    The Journal of Israeli History Vol. 31, No. 1, March 2012, 147–165 Kibbutz fiction and Yishuv society on the eve of statehood: The Ma’agalot (Circles) affair of 19451 Shula Keshet* The novel Circles (1945) by David Maletz, a founding member of Kibbutz Ein Harod, created a furor both in kibbutz society and among its readers in the Yishuv. The angry responses raise numerous questions about the status of kibbutz society at the time and the position of the writer in it. This article examines the reasons for the special interest in Maletz’s book and considers its literary qualities. On the basis of the numerous responses to the book, it analyzes how kibbutz society was viewed in that period, both by its own members and by the Yishuv in general, and addresses the special dynamics of the work’s reception in a totally ideological society. The case of Circles sheds light on the ways in which kibbutz literature participated in the ideological construction of the new society, while at the same time criticizing its most basic assumptions from within. Keywords: David Maletz; Berl Katznelson; kibbutz; Hebrew literature; kibbutz literature; Yishuv society; readers’ response; ideological dissent Introduction The novel Circles by David Maletz, a founding member of Kibbutz Ein Harod, created a furor both within and outside kibbutz society upon its publication in 1945, in many ways marking the start of an internal crisis in kibbutz society that erupted in full force only some forty years later, in the late 1980s. Reading this novel in historical perspective provides insight into the roots of this crisis.
