The Provisional People's Council (later to be the first Parliament of Israel) and the Provisional People's Administration (later to be the first Government of Israel) held their meetings in the house of Keren Kayemeth Le'Israel - Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) in Tel-Aviv at the period between April 18, 1948 to May 14, 1948. The house - a typical Bauhaus styled building - was inaugurated in 1937. Since 1988 the house serves as an educational center and a museum in which the story of the reclamation and development of the lands of Eretz Israel is unfolded. Display and Activities 
The Educational Center and Museum are devoted to the presentation of two major subjects : The Foundation of KKL-JNF The idea of the having a Jewish Fund which led to the establishment of the KKL-JNF in 1901, the organization's efforts to reclaim and develop the lands of Eretz Israel on behalf of the Jewish People - all of these are portrayed in the Educational Center and Museum. They are presented at a unique audio-visual presentation titled "KKL-JNF - Past-Present-Future". The Activities and Decisions of the Members of the Provisional People's Council & Administration |
The Provisional People's Council (later to be the first Parliament of Israel) and the Provisional People's Administration (later to be the first Government of Israel) used to meet in the building which today serves the Educational Center and Museum. These meetings were held during the months prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. Here were made the decisions which led to the establishment of the Jewish state, and which are brought to life today by an impressive audio-visual presentation titled "Days of Fatal Decisions". Modern pedagogical and audio-visual tools have lately been installed in the Educational Center and Museum. In addition, the center included two research libraries. The Libraries are open to the public and contain documents, books, photographs and slides exposing the history and activities of the KKL-JNf. A professional team assists visitors wishing to browse through the libraries. |
