Mikve Israel

The outside view from the main building within Mikve Israel, the first agricultural youth village to be established in Eretz Yisrael. The location of the village sits on the outskirts of Tel Aviv just near the entrance to Holon. It is was founded by members of the Alliance IsraĆ©lite Universelle during the Ottoman period in 1870 and exists today as one of the few remaining open green spaces in the Tel Aviv district. The school served as a base of operations for Palmach units during the War of Independence in 1948 and it remains a historical landmark whose legacy has shaped the Zionist movement.
