We first met in “Hatnuak Hameochedet” and then at Kibbutz Tzopra.
My husband dedicated his life to the study of Jewish – Israeli culture and even recieved the Israel Prize for Judaism studies. I teach art history and am involved in its education and an important part of my work in connected to the teaching of Jewish – Israeli art. You could say that the two of us are cultural “agents” from different systems and levels of our culture – the Jewish – Israeli culture.
As a Holocaust survivor and a Jew she experienced a feeling of foreignness abroad, it is very important for me to be part of the “Anu” collective of our nation and of our country.
My husband said that he was excited like me, it seems natural for him to appear in Beit Hatfutzot, you could say thay he feels at home there. he was just regretting not having worn a more festive outfit.
