In Jerusalem, in the historic Ben-Gurion Hall of the World Zionist Organization headquarters, a solemn ceremony was held dedicated to the second graduation of the “Geula” program – a project for preparing young women leaders for Jewish communities in the diaspora.

Today evening begins the holiday of Sukkot or “Feast of Booths”.

119 years ago, on October 22, 1905, the first secular Jewish school in the territory of modern Israel was opened.
