Yehudit Harari
Yehudit Harari (née Eisenberg; Hebrew: יהודית הררי; October 4, 1885 – June 7, 1979) was an educator, teacher, kindergarten teacher, and writer, one of the founders of Tel Aviv. She was one of the founders of the "Hebrew Stage Enthusiasts Association" and a member of the Habimah Theater council, winner of the honorary prize for education of the Tel Aviv Municipality in 1965.
Yehudit Harari was born in Pinsk, Belarus, in 1885. Her parents, Bilha-Esther (née Meshel) (d. 1936) and Aharon Eisenberg (1863–1931), where Halutzim (Hebrew: חלוצים [he]) members of the First Aliya, who immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1886 when she was a toddler. They lived in Jaffa for the first year, while her father specialized in agriculture in Rishon LeZion. When they bought their land in Wadi-Chanin (Ness Ziona), they first lived in a tent among the Bedouins, then in a cellar in Reuven Lerer [he]'s orchard until the completion of the construction of the house in Wadi-Chanin.
In the cellar of the Eisenberg family came many guests, among them Bilu'im, Hovevei Zion (aka Hibbat Zion), activists and guests from the Diaspora. In one of the meetings in the basement, Aharon Eisenberg, one of the first pioneers of Hovevei Zion, learned that between the moshava Kfar Batya [he] and Wadi-Chanin, a plot of the land "Duran" (Hebrew: חירבת דוראן), which belonged to the Rock [he] family in Jaffa, was for sale. Eisenberg turned to his friend Yehoshua Hankin and they both organized the purchase of the land. That same year, the company Menucha VeNahala [he] (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה) was founded in Warsaw, which purchased the lands and thus established the new moshava of Rehovot. In 1890 Aharon Eisenberg began to manage the planting work of Menucha and Nachla, and the family moved to the moshava and was one of its founders.
The Eisenberg House, which was one of the first houses in Rehovot and which was called "The Eisenberg Hotel", served for many years as a center for all the actions related to the establishment and development of the moshava. Bilha and Aharon gave their daughters and sons, seven in number, the same education and taught them to Torah and work. All of them received academic education and integrated into the building of the homeland in various fields. Yehudit completed an elementary school in Rehovot and completed her high school studies with the help of private teachers (Israel Belkind, Esther Shapira [he], Israel Aharoni and Yitzhak Cohen), due to the lack of high schools in the Land of Israel.
In her childhood, she grew up in the countryside "between the vines and almonds, among the olive trees, the carob trees, the citrus trees and the eucalyptus trees, among the shepherds and the vineyard workers". As she described her childhood experiences, "In horseback riding she is the first in the village, on trees she climbs like a cat, in swimming at the pool no one can compete with her, milking cows she knows, she harvests, and at night she rides a camel to Rishon LeZion to carry the grapes to the winery. The boys list willingly to her singing in the vineyards, urging her to dance like a Bedouin with a drawn sword around the bonfire". Life in the young colony of Rehovot was vibrant and full of interest. "On the hill of love, the young people were gather in the evenings, light a bonfire, sing and discuss the future of the Yishuv and Hebrew work".
When she was 13 she met her future husband, Haim Harari (Bloomberg), a student of Mikveh Israel, a boy who came to Palestine alone to study agriculture. After graduating in 1901 he returned to Russia, and she promised that she would wait for him until he returned. For six years they constantly corresponded, to her parents' dismay, who feared for their daughter's good reputation. She documented the correspondence in great detail in her book Between the Vineyards. The young couple suffered many hardships during those years, each separately, but their love did not subside.
After six years, he returned to Eretz Yisrael to serve as a teacher at the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium. A year later, in 1907, they married. Yehudit, who was working as a teacher and kindergarten teacher at the Evelina de Rothschild Girls' School in Jerusalem, left her job and moved to live with her young husband in Jaffa. Haim Harari, a teacher, and educator himself taught at the Herzliya Gymnasium until his death in 1940. He advocated for the concept of gender equality. Because of his reservations about the dual standard of sexual purity before marriage, which encouraged men to sexual experiences and prohibited this entirely among women, he committed himself to sexual purity before his marriage. Their relationship can be seen in the pursuit of equality, but also in the latent sense that the birthright is given to the husband's desires. After a year of marriage, in July 1908 their only son, Yizhar Harari, was born.
Yehudit and Haim Harari initiated and organized the "Hebrew Stage Enthusiasts", drama groups of actors and amateur actresses who staged plays at a time when there were no Hebrew theaters in Israel. He was an actor and director, and she participated in acting and played major roles in many plays that were produced. Among other things, she played in the play Mirele Efros by Yaakov Gordin. The veterans of Tel Aviv said that the Harari's successful performances were known from a distance and attracted not only the residents of Tel Aviv and Jaffa, but also the residents of the moshavot After the establishment of the National Habima Theatre Yehudit served as a member of the Theater Council.
