Abstract:
This article seeks to shed light on the innovative and unique character of the newspaper Ha-Hed, which was published between 1926 and 1953 by the Department for Propaganda among the Haredim ofthe Jewish National Fund. In addition to Ha-Hed being exceptional for its literary quality, its editor, Yehoshu aRedler-Feldman (“Rabbi Binyamin”), promoted cultural projects that sought to increase social, cultural, and religious unity among Jews from all sectors in Israel and around the world. This was also inspired by the character and worldview of Rabbi Kook, with whom Rabbi Binyamin was closely associated.The article is based largely upon the correspondence that the Department for Haredim and the Ha-He deditorial board maintained with various organizationsand with Haredi Jews around the world, as well as upon feature articles, news reports, and opinion pieces published in the newspaper itself. This article examines the meanings and worldviews behind these projects, which included: “Oneg Shabbat” parties, the “Jerusalem Torah and Literature Club”, a journalism course, and the paper’s literary section, as well as symbols and national-religious events related to the Jewish calendar, such as the pilgrimage to Miron and festival celebrations in Jerusalem. The article will also examine the complex attitude of the national funds to those projects, and possible contributing factors.
