"Will Moshe become a Gang Leader...We were not Sure." Propaganda for immigrants from the Orient. 1960s
Propaganda on behalf of Sephardic immigrants issued by Beit HaRasha"l, Jerusalem, 1960s. English.
Vivid description of the social and mental difficulties faced by those who immigrated from the Sephardic countries[North Africa, and other countries]. The writer depicts the typical immigrant with two choices before him: to be a leader worthy of his community, or to be a gang leader. "We want Moshe to become a communal leader when he grows up, not a gang leader."
The writer describes the daily schedule of an immigrant who finishes his work in the afternoon, spends the rest of his day with nothing to do, and - with no other choice - ends up in the streets...The solution to the problem is joining "Beit HaRasha"l" in Jerusalem, where there are extended study hours, a high-quality dorm and emphasis on self-actualization.
[10] pages. Not in the National Library.
Very fine condition.
