About Our Speaker: Ephraim Lapid

About Our Venue: The Hagana Museum
The Hagana Museum, located in a historic building on Rothschild Boulevard, showcases the establishment of the Jewish Yishuv during the British Mandate and the operation of the Hagana, which defended this community. The museum is centered around the former home of Eliyahu Golomb, the Hagana's founder. This site played a crucial role in pivotal discussions regarding defense, security, and immigration in pre-state Israel.
Much of the original structure has been preserved, housing exhibits that narrate the history of the Jewish Yishuv during the British Mandate and the efforts of the Hagana.
