Mordechai Segal (born December 25, 1903 , Ukraine - 1991 , Israel ) was an Israeli educator , founder of Kibbutzim College and founding fathers of kibbutz education in Israel.
Segal was born on December 25, 1903 in the Ukrainian town of Urania, to a Hasidic family. He attended a modern Jewish school and later worked in a Polish orphanage. He then moved with his family to the United States , where he completed high school and began to study philosophy, history and university education. In 1925 he immigrated to Israel and was accepted to the Labor Battalion of the Kfar Giladi Company . Worked in agriculture for 7 years until he was called in 1931 to replace the hired teacher . He was sent to the biological-pedagogical institute at Yehuda Halevi Street in Tel Aviv , under the direction of the zoologist and educator Yehoshua Margolin , and then returned to Kfar Giladi where he managed the local school for seven years.
In 1939 he founded Kibbutzim College and headed it for many years. At the same time he moved to Kibbutz Givat Haim . In 1973 , at the age of 70, he retired from the seminar and devoted himself to the publication of the yearbook "Education and its surroundings", which he founded, and to work in the field of documentation and monitoring of kibbutz education.
Marcel Janco (German: [maɐ̯ˈsɛl ˈjaŋko], French: [maʁsɛl ʒɑ̃ko], common rendition of the Romanian name Marcel Hermann Iancu[1] pronounced [marˈt͡ʃel ˈherman ˈjaŋku], last name also Ianco, Janko or Jancu; May 24, 1895 – April 21, 1984) was a Romanian and Israeli visual artist, architect and art theorist. He was the co-inventor of Dadaism and a leading exponent of Constructivism in Eastern Europe. In the 1910s, he co-edited, with Ion Vinea and Tristan Tzara, the Romanian art magazine Simbolul. Janco was a practitioner of Art Nouveau, Futurism and Expressionism before contributing his painting and stage design to Tzara's literary Dadaism. He parted with Dada in 1919, when he and painter Hans Arp founded a Constructivist circle, Das Neue Leben.
Reunited with Vinea, he founded Contimporanul, the influential tribune of the Romanian avant-garde, advocating a mix of Constructivism, Futurism and Cubism. At Contimporanul, Janco expounded a "revolutionary" vision of urban planning. He designed some of the most innovative landmarks of downtown Bucharest. He worked in many art forms, including illustration, sculpture and oil painting.
Janco was one of the leading Romanian Jewish intellectuals of his generation. Targeted by antisemitic persecution before and during World War II, he emigrated to British Palestine in 1941. He won the Dizengoff Prize and Israel Prize, and was a founder of Ein Hod, a utopian art colony, controversially built over a depopulated Palestinian Arab village (itself relocated to Ein Hawd).
Marcel Janco was the brother of Georges and Jules Janco, who were his artistic partners during and after the Dada episode. His brother-in-law and fellow Constructivist promoter was the writer Jacques G. Costin, known as a survivor of 1940s antisemitism.
