The Volunteers of the Six Day War

June 22, 2016

Featuring our former Director Solly Sacks, he takes a look at those volunteers who came from abroad to Israel in 1967 to assist the State of Israel during and following the Six Day War. Solly was part of a group of volunteers from South Africa who were sent to Kibbutz Shluchot in the Jordan Valley close to Beit Shean.

See pictures from 1967, as well as photos from their reunion in Shluchot which took place in the days leading up to the 50th anniversary celebrations which took place in Jerusalem in 2017.
