Shalom Pollack – Visits to The Museum of Babylonian Jewry

 Visits to The Museum of Babylonian Jewry, Machon Ayalon, and Garin Torani Ramla

A very rich day of touring, learning and inspiration

Wednesday, February 9
Depart from the Inbal hotel at 8:30 a.m.
Return approx  5:30 p.m.

The Museum of Babylonian Jewry in Yehud

We will visit the world's only museum that offers a glimpse into the world’s oldest Jewish
Diaspora. We will take a journey through 2600 years of Babylonian history.
The museum is designed around the motif of a traditional twentieth-century Iraqi Jewish home;
visitors can stroll through a typical alley in Baghdad’s old Jewish Quarter and can be inspired by a replica of the
Great Synagogue.
The museum explores Jewish integration with Arab culture, expansion into foreign markets,
education, the Farhud (1941), Zionism and other movements, the mass exodus of the Jews (1950-1952) along with integration in the State of Israel
and the secret saving of Torah scrolls.

"Machon Ayalon" Institute in Rehovot.

Under the very noses of the British Mandatory occupation, young kibbutz members produced millions of bullets for the coming struggle for Independence, literally underground.
Their story is unique and hard to believe. The entire underground operation is now open to the public.
Features include an educational film and a tour of the secret munitions factory: we relive a story of idealism, determination, and a "Yiddishe kup."

The "Garin Torani" of Ramla

We will have the honor to visit with the idealists  of the Garin Torani of Ramla.
Dragged into the eye of the storm and bruised by the riots in May 2021, these stalwart young families and yeshiva students are redoubling their efforts
to strengthen the Jewish presence and spirit on the front lines for Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.
We will be hosted at the Hesder yeshiva by the eminent Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Aryeh Handler.
