Yehudit Harari
She was one of the founders of the "Hebrew Stage Enthusiasts Association" and a member of the Habimah Theater council, winner of the honorary prize for education of the Tel Aviv Municipality in 1965.
Her parents, Bilha-Esther (née Meshel) (d. 1936) and Aharon Eisenberg [he] (1863–1931),[1][2][3] where Halutzim (Hebrew: חלוצים [he])[a] members of the First Aliya, who immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1886 when she was a toddler.
[7] In one of the meetings in the basement, Aharon Eisenberg, one of the first pioneers of Hovevei Zion, learned that between the moshava Kfar Batya [he] and Wadi-Chanin, a plot of the land "Duran" (Hebrew: חירבת דוראן),[8] which belonged to the Rock [he] family in Jaffa, was for sale.
That same year, the company Menucha VeNahala [he] (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה)[d] was founded in Warsaw, which purchased the lands and thus established the new moshava of Rehovot.
[9] In 1890 Aharon Eisenberg began to manage the planting work of Menucha and Nachla, and the family moved to the moshava and was one of its founders.
[4] Bilha and Aharon gave their daughters and sons, seven in number, the same education and taught them to Torah and work.
The boys list willingly to her singing in the vineyards, urging her to dance like a Bedouin with a drawn sword around the bonfire".
"On the hill of love, the young people were gather in the evenings, light a bonfire, sing and discuss the future of the Yishuv and Hebrew work".
[13] When she was 13 she met her future husband, Haim Harari (Bloomberg),[14] a student of Mikveh Israel, a boy who came to Palestine alone to study agriculture.
[23] David Smilansky [he], a teaching fellow of those years, said that "there were always boys and girls who had a special affection for the experienced teacher and obeyed her instructions"[31] In 1910 she returned to teach at the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium until 1913 when Yehudit and Haim Harari went to study in Paris on behalf of the Gymnasium.
At the University of Paris (Sorbonne), she studied general and French literature, psychology, pedagogy, history and natural sciences.
She claimed that she preferred to focus on educational work and refused to be elected as a woman's representative for municipal and government institutions.
In her book, she described with surprising frankness her doubts about the well-known fate of a married woman at the time: The days of vacation are over, the gymnasium is open, Ziv is busy with his work day and night, he usually comes home after midnight, Talia looks forward to his arrival and suffers from loneliness.
In the introduction she wrote: In my book A Woman and Mother in Israel, it is told about the women of Israel who took an active part in the life of the nation for good and bad, especially those who have been active throughout the generations for our people, and preserved in the homeland and the Diaspora the existence of the nation and its culture.
About the Jewish woman who illuminated the house of Israel in the dark ages of exile, [...] about the women who participated in building our homeland, in reviving our language, in flourishing our desolation, in defending our lands ....
Many are the men in our nation and especially the women who do not know much about the life of the Israeli woman and her actions, I hope that this book will teach them to know their sisters and mothers.
