Diaries of Israel’s Founding Generation

NLI’s Archives and Manuscripts Department is launching an inspiring project, Operation Diary: The Founding Generation, featuring personal diaries written at the time of the establishment of the State of Israel. Starting in February 2023, Operation Diary will highlight and publicize excerpts from diaries that are part of the Library’s collections and also will appeal to the public to share personal / family diaries that will then be preserved and made accessible through NLI’s digital platforms. Follow NLI’s blog and facebook page for updates.
