In a bold and not inexpensive move, the Yeshiva invited all 80 of the\u00a0students\u2019 grandparents to share some of their early experiences in Israel and abroad at an all day get-together in a hotel. The grandparents either wrote out their personal tales or related them in front of smaller groups of students and other grandparents.<\/p>\n<p>Sussia is a settlement of 200 families in the Southern Hebron Hills, part of a block of Jewish villages that dot the barren countryside where Arab farmers still farm their plots by hand, as their forefathers (and ours) did centuries ago. It boasts an ancient 3rd century synagogue which has been almost completely renovated, and an original mosaic floor that takes your breath away. The setting is ideal for an ecological Yeshiva High School which combines traditional religious and secular studies with an increased emphasis on the Land of Israel studies. \u201cFor kids who can\u2019t sit still, this is the right educational framework,\u201d says Doron SarAvi, one of the tour guides and teachers. \u201cEvery Friday we take them on long and arduous hikes; they learn Eretz Yisrael by walking through it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year the meeting between 9th to l2th grade students and their grandparents took place at the Ramat Rachel Hotel on the outskirts of Jerusalem. After lunch the two generations shared an educational tour of the archaeological excavations on the site, including what was probably the summer palace of kings from the First Temple Period. More pertinent to the grandparents, Ramat Rachel was a famous battlefield during the l948 War and changed hands between Jewish and Arab forces no less than seven times. Some of the grandfathers on the tour knew the site intimately. They themselves had fought in some of those battles. Aminadav Ben Shachar, for example, the grandfather of a 9th grade student, Achiah, told his story: \u201cI was in one of those fierce battles on this hill. Both the Arabs and the Jews wanted to gain this foothold which held control of the southern approach to Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a pause he continued with another experience. \u201cFollowing my placement in Ramat Rachel, I was made the commander of a unit where I knew none of the soldiers. By mistake we wandered into an Arab held neighborhood, what is today Armon HaNatziv. We found protection in the British headquarters, which is still called Government House. Outside, the building was soon surrounded by Arab mobs, who were demanding that we be handed over to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe British officers explained that they couldn\u2019t keep us there. They offered to send us to Silwan, where Jewish captives were being rounded up. We thought we were in more danger in Silwan than here, and refused to budge. So they took us to the place were the remnants of the fighters from the Old City and from Gush Etzion were held in captivity. From there we were sent to a prison in Amman over night. We knew that the next day we\u2019d be transferred to a permanent prisoners\u2019 camp in the desert. In the middle of the night, outside our cells somebody started whistling the Palmach hymn, over and over again. \u2018Who\u2019s there?\u2019 I whispered. The reply from over the wall was \u2018Electricians from Naaraim\u2019. I knew that Naaraim had been overrun by the Arabs, but didn\u2019t know anyone was left alive there. I realized then that they wanted us to let the Red Cross know that there were Jewish prisoners interned in Amman. Once we were settled in the Jordanian desert, representatives of the Red Cross came to visit us and we reported these captives. That\u2019s how the families of the prisoners from Naaraim found out that they were alive at all. Now I know,\u201d declares Ben Shachar, \u201cwhy I was in that unit that got lost; why we were captured and sent off together with the soldiers from Gush Etzion and the Jewish Quarter\u2014just so the families of those electricians wouldn\u2019t remain in the dark about their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sitting across the room from Ben Shachar was a white haired gentleman, who could barely contain his excitement. \u201cI was in the Jordanian prison camp in the desert too,\u201d he explained. \u201cYes,\u201d cried Ben Shachar looking at him over his glasses, \u201cof course I remember you.\u201d Then Avraham Greenbaum, the grandfather of Nahum, read from a batch of yellow pages what he had prepared. \u201cI\u2019m not a good talker, so I\u2019m going to read my story. We heard that the State had been declared while we were in captivity. I was a member of the young Kibbutz Ein Tzurim. We fought as long as we had weapons, and then surrendered. As they took us away I saw the houses and all our workshops going up in flames. It was a bitter experience. I had been in B\u2019nei Akiva since the age of ten. My madrich was the leading influence in my life. Because of him I came to Kibbutz Ein Tzurim. We worked our heads off, turning the place into a settlement. Our conditions there were terrible. We didn\u2019t have enough water; the ground really wasn\u2019t suited for agriculture, but we were euphoric because we were realizing the Zionist dream.\u201d His grandson looked on enthralled. He too was a member of B\u2019nei Akiva, and maybe he was thinking, \u201cWhen will I build a kibbutz like my forefathers?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shlomo Klein, the grandfather of another student named Achiah, spoke next. By chance he too had fought at Ramat Rachel. \u201cAfter the Holocaust my brother and I were the only ones left of our large family. An uncle who lived in New York sent us a ticket to the U.S., but I decided to come to Palestine, despite the precarious conditions here. Jewish soldiers from the Jewish Brigade influenced me. I waited two years to leave Europe. We came by ship and as soon as we arrived in the newly declared State, we were sent to Tel HaShomer to train as soldiers. After a month we were already sent to the front lines. We didn\u2019t even know Hebrew. We didn\u2019t know how to fight, but we helped protect the young State of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aminadav Ben Shachar broke in, \u201cI had soldiers like that. One dark night we were in our bunkers when we saw a figure rise up in front of us. \u2018Shu Ha-dah\u2019, (Who\u2019s there?) the figure called out in Arabic. \u2018Vus sogt er\u2019? (What\u2019s he saying? In Yiddish) whispered the new soldier next to me. \u2018Finish him off!\u2019 I commanded, telling him to shoot. \u2018Vus sogtste?\u2019 (What are you saying? In Yiddish). That was the level of our new soldiers who had all of a month\u2019s training,\u201d concluded Ben Shachar.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the participants were Holocaust survivors, and spoke of their experiences in the camps. Some had come from North Africa or Asia. One woman arrived from Yemen in Operation Magic Carpet. \u201cWe hid our children in cartons, because in Aden there had been riots,\u201d she said. Yosef Ben Aaron, the grandfather of Shilo, explained why that was done: \u201cNot too many know that after the State was proclaimed, riots against the Jews broke out all over the Mid-East. The first place it happened was in Aden, a British Protectorate, exactly two days after the UN proclamation (Nov. 29, l947). Seventy eight Jews were killed, many were wounded, and most of the Jewish shops and houses were burnt down. A subsequent investigation by the British government of that event revealed that the British police officers on duty did nothing to stop the violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben Aaron believes that there was a reason for their indifference. These \u201cbobbies\u201d had served in Palestine and had seen some of their buddies hurt by Jewish extremists, and so felt no sympathy for the Jews. \u201cThat was the general situation with the British police, even here in Palestine,\u201d declared Yehoshua Rudman, the grandfather of HarEl. \u201cBritish policemen were actively involved in the explosion at the Palestine Post and at Ben Yehuda where so many people were killed. The effects of that explosion caused windows to shatter even as far away as Geulah where I lived at the time. It was British trucks which brought the explosions inside the Jewish Agency compound where another terrible terrorist attack took place,\u201d he declared bitterly. The students all nodded in agreement. They had learned that chapter in history only the week before.<\/p>\n<p>Rudman, who grew up in Israel, and whose wife is even a 7th generation Jerusalemite, remembers that on Seder night of l947, all the leaders of the Yishuv, people like Golda Meir, Ben Gurion, Ben Zvi, etc. all gathered in protest of British policy in the Jewish Agency complex and declared a general fast. \u201cOf course they didn\u2019t really fast,\u201d continues Redman. After all Chief Rabbi Herzog lived right next door and he wouldn\u2019t let a Jew fast on Seder night. The good rabbi came in through a back door, conducted a traditional seder for the nation\u2019s leaders, made sure they ate at least some matza and marror, and then they continued their fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another \u201csabra\u201d (native Israeli), Shuka Melet, described his childhood in Yokenam where he continues to live with his three generational family. \u201cDuring the War for Independence, even children like me were enlisted in building barriers around our moshav. We were in danger of being overrun by Iraqi forces from the north. I had an older brother who lied about his age to get into the Palmach. He was sent to Revivim in the Negev where for weeks they were under siege from Egyptian forces. Once a plane piloted by Ezer Weizman brought in supplies and took out mail from Revivim. That\u2019s how I received a letter from my brother on the eve of my Bar Mitzva. The letter (parts of which Shuka read out to the audience) was a real Zionist sermon\u2014and this from a youngster of only 17. He wrote that he was fine and we shouldn\u2019t worry about him. He wrote his conviction that we would one day be a great nation in control of our destiny, and that we had a great responsibility to devote our lives to the welfare of our land. Then he came to the purpose of his letter to me. He suggested that I forego the party they were planning for my Bar Mitzva and instead donate the proceeds for the \u201cgeneral cause\u201d. As it was,\u201d continues Shuka, talking matter-of-factly, which is so typical of sabras, \u201cthe main battle for control of the Emek broke out on the day of my Bar Mitzva so I had no choice. One week later we were informed that my brother was killed in battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The unique program that characterizes the Ecological Yeshiva High Schools (there are already three of them in Israel) is their emphasis on history, archaeology, nature, and all the other sciences included in Eretz Yisrael studies. In addition to the weekly outings, the youngsters receive intensive botanical and zoological tours, and wherever possible their educators link the traditional sources, whether from the Bible or the Talmud, with the Land as they learn to know and to love it. For the last three years each graduating class has put out a well documented and attractive book on one such aspect of Jewish tradition and ecology. As noted, youngsters seem to love the Yeshiva\u2019s approach and take to the integrated studies enthusiastically. According to Rosh Yeshiva Noam Perl, they also absorb more material and in a more personalized manner from their highly motivated and devoted educators.<\/p>\n<p>One last story that was related, by a quiet and demur elderly lady, was perhaps the most moving. Mrs. Esther Levavi, the grandmother of Yosie, explained that she too was a Holocaust survivor. All her family perished and she remained completely alone after the War. Esther recalls many miracles which allowed her to survive. After the war she came on Aliyah and joined a settlement. There she married another Holocaust survivor. Today she still lives in Masuot Yitzhak near Kiryat Melachi and is blessed with a large family. She has four married children, 31 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren (\u201cso far\u201d) and most of them live in the same Moshav Shitufi (cooperative farming village). Only one daughter with her ll children live in a nearby village. When she walks down the streets of Masuot from all sides she\u2019s greeted, \u201cHello Savta\u201d \u201cHow are you Savta\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s new Savta\u201d, and her heart is full. One of the group asked her if she remembers all her offspring\u2019s names, and she admitted, \u201cIf I forget, I have a large board on my wall divided by four different colors (for the names of her children and their children); so if I forget I look it up on the board.\u201d Everyone laughed, and then in a serious view Esther continued: \u201cEvery Friday night when I light candles I give blessings to G-d for three things: that he allowed me to survive the Shoah; that we have our own State and that I\u2019m blessed with a wonderful family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This message typifies the grandparents who attended this unique gathering where members of the older generation told their offspring snippets of modern history in which they themselves participated. The grandparents obviously enjoyed retelling their stories (and in certain dramatic cases were happy to meet up with colleagues they hadn\u2019t seen in half a century). The grandchildren learned important history lessons told at first hand, but more important, they found out new things about their forefathers, and perhaps got to appreciate them more. The educators made good use of \u201cmaterial\u201d easily at hand which was both authentic and often most inspiring and uplifting. It\u2019s what they call today, a real win-win situation, and it\u2019s very likely to become an annual tradition for the Sussia Ecological Yeshiva High School from now on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Leah Abramowitz is a geriatric social worker who is the coordinator of the Geriatric Institute of Shaare Zedek Hospital and Melabev.
