Abstract:
Deborah Kallen (1888–1957), sister of Horace Kallen, was an American-born Israeli artist, teacher, and painter (1888–1957). She emigrated to Eretz Israel in 1920 and created a unique educational experience in a school she established in Jerusalem. Kallen created classes on topics as diverse as painting, carpentry and athletics. Gardening, crafts and nature walks throughout Israel were typical school day activities. Among her more famous graduates was Yigael Yadin, and some of Eliezer Ben Yehuda's children. The school was funded through Kallen’s personal efforts and the help of Jewish social reformers, such as U.S. Federal Judge Julian Mack.
