The Machal Exhibit
May 15 - June 30

During Israel's War of Independence, approximately 4,000 Jewish and non-Jewish volunteers from 29 countries risked their lives to fight for the new Jewish state.  These volunteers, known as "Machal Volunteers" or "Machalniks", are the  focus of this exhibit, which includes 16 historic photographs and storyboards  created by Machalnik Dr. Jason Fenton, who volunteered at age 16 to serve for two years in the Negev Desert.   Click on the image for a larger view.
