yad tabenkin

Yad Tabenkin is the "research and documentation center of the United Kibbutz Movement". The library of Yad Tabenkin at the seminar center in Ramat Efal is shutting down a substantial portion of its English language section. I have been empowered (through Hechalutz) to claim books before they are discarded and recycled.

Before the North American machzor of boneh, my tzevet and I raided a used book store on Allenby on a budget for books related to Jewish history and Israeli society. Now the only consideration is how many books will fit in my backpack.

Is this heaven? No, it's Yad Tabenkin.
