How Noa Tishby’s RADICAL Socialist Jewish Grandmother Helped BUILD Israel!

Noa Tishby shares the wild story of her grandmother, one of the young socialist Jewish pioneers who came to the Land of Israel before World War II and helped build the country from the ground up. From planting tomatoes and building roads to communal living, equal pay, free love, and raising children collectively, Noa explains just how radical the early kibbutz movement really was. While researching her book, she read her grandmother’s diaries and discovered a world of idealism, sacrifice, experimentation, and some very surprising personal details. For Noa, those stories are also a reminder of how improbable the creation of Israel once seemed, and how much that pioneering generation accomplished.
