A transnational lens
This article employs a transnational educational history framework to examine the diffusion of knowledge between medical and educational professionals in Ottoman Palestine. It posits that ideas travel across borders through professional networks of actors, who then adapt, or “lend and borrow,” these concepts to suit local conditions. The key actors in this study are the interacting networks of European-trained physicians and teachers in Jaffa-Tel…
Caring for others” - a coping mechanism to attain meaning
This study is grounded in the existential framework of Viktor Frankl, particularly his theory emphasizing the pursuit of meaning in life as a fundamental human drive, even in the face of adversity and catastrophic circumstances. The research examines the relationship between psychological coping mechanisms—specifically regarding caring for others: problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and mindfulness—and their role in fostering a sense …

Introduction
To Be a Teacher, a Wife and Mother, and a Zionist Culture Creator in the Pre-State Era
Following earlier studies on progressive education, nation building, and women teachers’ history, this article examines the lives of four women during the period of the Yishuv who cultivated professional identities while also raising families. All four strove to educate students according to their own pedagogical visions despite a lack of appropriate educational means. The four women teachers faced the challenge and created educational tools base…
Rural schools as Israeli acculturation agents for immigrant communities in the first two decades of statehood
This article examines the role played by rural schools in forging the Israeli identity of immigrant children in the new villages during he 1950s and 1960s. The modus operandi of these schools is interesting due to the nature of these communities and to the role of the ethos of the rural way of life in the Zionist narrative. An important education device the schools implemented was the enacting of celebrations, involving the entire community. Thus…
The Hebrew Teachers as Creators of the Zionist Community in (the Land of) Israel
This article discusses the role of teachers in the formation of Israeli society, from the First Aliyah until the 1968 integration reform. The period studied is comprised of four sub-periods, during each of which teachers filled different roles. These roles included a contribution to reviving and spreading the language, creating educational and establishment tools, ideological training, and integration of the new immigrants into Israeli society. T…
Jewish Philanthropy, Zionist Culture, and the Civilizing Mission of Hebrew Education
Cultivating the Soil as an Educational Message in Israeli Schools During the 1950s and 1960s
One of the founding principles of the Zionist ethos is cultivation of the soil. This article examines the ways in which this ethos was “translated” into educational values in Israeli State (secular) primary schools during the 1950s and 1960s. The translation took place at three levels. First, agriculture was presented as a paragon and the rural way of life as idyllic in the written curriculum. Reading textbooks included collections of stories abo…
Shaping landscape identity in Jewish state education during the 1950s to 1960s
This paper discusses the attempts of Israeli education, in a similar fashion to other national educational systems, to shape a territorial identity for the pupils of the new State. The Israeli school used a variety of educational means to shape a person who would be modelled on his new birthplace’s landscape, including the use of textbooks, illustrations, and maps, to aid in the process of creating a desired image of the homeland’s landscape. The…
