The Kibbutz Brigade in Eilat

Between the mountains of Edom and the Red Sea, the younger and older workers of the United Kibbutz Brigade positioned themselves in order to build and settle the city of Eilat. Under the leadership of Beni Marshak, the organization’s secretaries are exploring the possibility of establishing permanent structures while supervising British activities in the area. Meanwhile, in the brigade camp, meals are being prepared and clothes are being thoroughly washed by the dedicated female brigade members. The brigade members take on tasks for the preparation of the settlement, in carpentry, fishing, planting gardens and orchards, and in the construction work of a Solel Boneh. The 12th grade students from the Kibbutzim come to be impressed by the pioneering work in the city.
