"In all cases where the nurse prescribes a skin and hair disease ... we are necessarily going to cut the hairs without taking into account all the religious reasons, that is, the haircut will also include the peot..." - a rare collection of documents documenting the religious harassment of religious immigrants


After many complaints were filed by religious sources about religious discrimination against religious immigrants in the immigrant camps in 1949 and the early 1950s, a ministerial committee was set up to examine the 'matters of enlightenment in the immigrant camps', after re-examining the committee comes with a detailed report describing the dismal situation of the religious immigrants in the immigrant camps, and the attempts to seduce the religious immigrants, and the deliberate reduction of educational resources to the religious groups. before us stencil-printed pages with objections to the report  submitted, and accompanying documents dealing with the committee's conclusions. From the leaves before us emerge the serious findings regarding the difficult encounter, and the attempts to transfer to religion from their  faith. Collection of printed pages in stencil, Israel, 1949-1951.


A document in response to the results of the committee's conclusions reads: "The committee recognizes that there have been cases of cutting off peot for health reasons ...The committee took into account the possibility of Ashkenazi phenomena in Yemeni boys, The possibility of the adaptation of some of the new Yemenite immigrants to the custom of the country, by their relatives who have Ashkenazi, while visiting their home, the possibility of malicious acts by elements who have infiltrated outside camps! ... In any case, the department did not issue a circular "How to cut the peot of Israeli children ...". It was also written about movies brought to the camp: "As for the accusation of bringing movies to the camp that harmed the morals and modesty of its occupants, It is a fact that the department brought only the Jewish National Fund and the Keren Hayesod film to the camps. Ordinary movies were shown in the camp by the "Culture for Immigrants" section of the Histadrut." There are also harsh descriptions of: children from Rosh HaAyin who are precisely those who study Torah do not receive clothes and shoes, of "disturbances in Torah study", of "sanctions against religious teachers", evidence of smoking on Shabbat in the Atlit camp, "disturbances during prayer", of discrimination Receiving religious teachers for the immigrant camps, evidence of discrimination in the Talmud Torah in Pardes Hanna Camp III, horrifying testimony given by Ms. Landau, a Torah teacher at the Beer Yaakov immigrant camp, in which she tells how Natan Mamoni entered the religious girls' class where she studied, and inevitably announced in the middle of the lesson about A folk dance evening that was to take place at the youth center. A document appears on behalf of the "Teachers' Association in Ein Shemer" in which they deny that peot were cut in the camps, and deny that hacking dances of youth in the camp were organized, and also deny most of the accusations made by the  committee. In addition, there are lists with the names of the youth counselors in the immigrant camps, programs of cultural activities in the camps, leaves with various instructions from the Ministry of Education and Culture, and more.


Among other, there is a document from December 9, 1949, written by Dr. Klein from the clinic of the Ein Shemer A. immigrant camp, from which one can learn about the sad phenomenon of cutting peot in medical disguise. The document reads: "In all cases where the nurse prescribes skin disease and contagious hairs, we are necessarily to cut the hairs without taking into account all the religious reasons, that is, the haircut will also include the peot - otherwise the infection can not be overcome, " and more.
