jewish palestine israel 1943 Ayanot youth village school ww2 holocaust survivors
The foundation of the village began with the purchase of 140 acres (0.57 km2) of land by Ada Maimon as a girl's training farm [2] in 1926. The village was established on 30 March 1930, though no-one lived on the site until Maimon, ten girls and a guard moved in on 12 January 1932; until then they had lived in nearby Ness Ziona. The village was named after the numerous springs in the area, though other sources claim it is taken from Deuteronomy 8:7;
For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills.[3]
The Jewish National Fund wrote in 1949 that the name is derived from the Arabic.[2]
During World War II, the village became an agricultural school and took in young Holocaust survivors who had succeeded in immigrating. Today it is home to a boarding school for 180 pupils.
