Hakhshara, Hebrew for ‘preparation’, is a common name for the places where European Jewish youth prepared to emigrate to Palestine. The development of hakhsharot is connected to the intensity of Jewish colonisation of Palestine in the interwar period and to the growth of the Eretz Israel emigratory and kibbutz movement. In 1937 Vorobeichic was commissioned by He-halutz [Hebrew for ‘settler’, ‘pioneer’], the largest Zionist youth organisation, to produce a photographic documentation of the hakhsharot. He visited almost twenty of them and took over 500 pictures, thus creating the largest and the only professional material documenting their operations.

An exhibition of a genius of avant-garde photography discovered after many years.
