Tour "In the Footsteps of Pioneer Women and Warriors" at the Atlit Illegal Immigrant Camp and the Hannah Szenes House in Sdot Yam

An experiential day that traces the stories of pioneering and inspiring women from the past and present who fought to realize their dreams for Israeli society and the state. During the tour, participants will delve into the reality of Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel during the Holocaust and the establishment of the State, learn about the challenges and dilemmas faced by those who lived then, learn about the pioneering fighters Hannah Szenes and Ada Sereni, and make connections between then and now.

Tour stops:

  • The Atlit Illegal Immigrant Camp: Here we will learn about the story of the illegal immigrants, most of whom were Holocaust survivors, and the challenges they faced on their way to Israel. We will meet the figure of Ada Sereni and learn about her work on behalf of the illegal immigration enterprise through a play performed by the students. Finally, we will connect the challenges they faced to the challenges facing Israeli society today.
  • Hannah Szenes House in Kibbutz Sdot Yam: Through a video, exhibition, and study of her poems, we will learn about Hannah Szenes, the values she believed in, and the path she chose to follow in light of those values. We will ask whether these values are still relevant to our lives and what we would like to learn from her character and choices for our own lives. In addition, we will talk about female combatants from the Iron Swords War and connect their actions to the legacy of Hannah Szenes and Ada Sereni.

Tour objectives:

  • An in-depth examination of the dilemmas faced by the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine during the Holocaust, and an analysis of the courses of action taken – including the decision to join the fight against the Nazis as part of the British Army.
  • Introduction to the story of illegal immigration and the challenges of immigrating to Israel; understanding the historical background of illegal immigration operations, exposure to the difficulties experienced by immigrants on their way to Israel, and examination of the ethical and personal significance of immigration then and now.
  • An introduction to the inspiring figures and stories of Hannah Szenes and Ada Sereni – young women who acted with determination and courage for the values they believed in, foremost among them the Zionist idea, a sense of mission, love of the people, and the pursuit of doing good.
  • Connecting society's challenges to our personal dreams and choices today, by encouraging a sense of personal responsibility and belief in our ability to influence and create change.
