Bring the Aliyah Bet & Machal Story to Your Institution
The American Veterans of Israel Legacy Corporation offers a traveling exhibition telling the story of the overseas volunteers — the men and women of Aliyah Bet and Machal — who left their homes to help secure Israel’s independence in 1948. Designed to be hosted at schools, synagogues, JCCs, libraries, museums, and community events, the exhibition brings this history directly to your community.
About the Exhibition
The traveling exhibition presents the history of Aliyah Bet and Machal across 14 professionally produced display panels. The panels reproduce photographs from our archive alongside first-person accounts and the stories of the volunteers who served across the air, sea, and ground forces. They come with their own stands — it is a self-contained, freestanding installation ready to display in your space.
