Teller From Jerusalem

TFJ Season 5 Episode 3 Absorbing and Employing Unskilled Immigrants, Government Relations with Israel’s Most Religious Jews, and Reserve Army Service


Listen Later

A vast program of public works was initiated by the Israeli Government to provide employment opportunities for the refugee immigrants who were mainly unskilled. Likewise, the Jewish National Fund embarked upon a nationwide forestation project that totally transformed the landscape of the country.

After figuring out how to absorb the greatest number of immigrants the world has known, Prime Minister Ben Gurion had to deal with other burning issues such as how to deal with the deeply religious residents of Israel referred to as “Haredim.”

Critical attention also had to be devoted how to secure Israel’s borders when each neighboring country was hostile and sought Israel’s destruction. This resulted in the Army Reserves for every able-bodied soldier.
