90th Anniversary of Haganah

The Haganah (Hebrew for Defense) Organization was the largest and most centralized military organization of the Jewish Settlement enterprise, called the Yishuv, during the time of the British Mandate. The Haganah was a Jewish paramilitary organization in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine from 1920 to 1948, which later became the core of the Israel Defense Forces. The Haganah is currently celebrating its 90th anniversary.

From 1921-1948 there was a course for Haganah Division Commanders, from which all Haganah commanders emerged. This Haganah Division Commander Course also produced 6 IDF Chiefs of General Staff and 27 Brigadier Generals.

Division Commanders from the Haganah gathered at the IDF Goa'ara base on September 14, 2010 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the organization's establishment.

The evening was hosted by former Israeli President and current President of the Haganah organization, Mr. Yitzhak Navon; Deputy Minister of Defense Mr. Matan Vilnai; Chairman of the National Haganah Organization, Maj. Gen. (res.) Tzvika Lebnon; and Chief Education and Youth Officer, Brig. Gen. Eli Sharmiester.

IDF Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen Gabi Ashkenazi, addressed the ceremony, saying, “You, the members of the Haganah are fighters in the War of Independence, who have written chapters of gold in the book of heroes of Israel, you were the ones to pave the way for the IDF as the army of the Jewish people, and as a body that can promise to the world ‘never again’. I salute you.”

About 2000 members of the Haganah and their family members participated in the event, which included reunions, a performance by the Ha'givatron band, a performance by the IDF Orchestra, and a Colour Guard presentation of the 11 Haganah brigades who fought in the War of Independence.
