Goal: To get the chanichim to think about:

2-the specific hardships encountered by the immigrants detained in Atlit and why their situation was particularly difficult and historically important.
Atlit Peula
(Note: Although this peula was designed specifically for Atlit, it can be run in any location where aliyah is being discussed.)
Advanced Preparation: Print out one copy of each of the four sheets below, as well as the memoir at the bottom.
Goal: To get the chanichim to think about:

Intro: Break the chanichim into 4 groups. Any creative game can be done. The way we did it was to get everyone into a circle and ask each chanich/a to remove one shoe and throw it into a big pile in the middle. Then they were asked to close their eyes and we deposited the shoes into four spread out piles and they were told they had to hop and find their shoes and stand next to their pile, which became their group.
Activity: Each group got one of the four sheets below describing a different period of aliyah and was given 5-10 minutes to prepare a short skit with the information provided. Gauge the attention span of the kids to see exactly how much time is needed. Have each group present their skit.
-You may want to have Atlit group go last. As they finish, one madrich should be prepared with the memoir—either to recite or retell it, and should get up without hesitation or advanced warning (to keep the kids’ attentions) and begin the story. This will give the chanichim a better sense of what it felt like to be in Atlit.
Sikkum: Depending on the nature of the group and the counselor availability split the chanichim back into groups for a wrap-up (try to mix up the original groups so that some from each skit will be in each discussion group.) or bring everyone together for a madrich to summarize. Ask the chanichim to try to restate and then compare and contrast the various challenges that each aliyah faced. Make sure they got all the main points (and any skits that weren’t great make sure to clarify.)
Discussion points:
A-The aliyot can be broken down into two categories: 1-aliyah from persecution (Atlit, Operation Moses) and 2-aliyah for ideological reasons (Bavel and modern day), and this is a very important distinction that should be noted and discussed. Which is harder? How so?
B-Realizing that we don’t have to move because of persecution, how should this affect our thinking about aliyah? What really are the challenges? What can we learn from history?
C-By taking a survey of various aliyot through history, we see that despite the unique hardships that each generation was faced with people persevered and made aliyah and fought to start their lives in

A dream comes true.
When the ship was maneuvering her entrance into the port, we were standing crowded on the deck, we saw a small motorboat aboard in which were four persons waving their hands welcoming us to Eretz
After a lot of maneuvers the ship managed to cast anchor in the harbor. The date was January 1st 1947. We really arrived. We were sure that we would soon get off the ship – free and happy. But the British thought otherwise. We were still under guard. We had to obey the instructions of the British army. We could not understand what was going on. We asked ourselves: ‘are we still prisoners? Why should we board British lorries accompanied by British guards? Where are the Jewish Agency people? Don’t they know about our arrival? Where are our friends from Mizra whom we were sure would come to welcome us? It was a weird reception that we could not understand.
Later on we heard that the British closed the port and did not let civilians come in, especially not Jews. They had their own reasons for that blockade. Disappointed, enclosed in a British ship, escorted by four British guards, we left the first Hebrew harbor with mixed feelings. We were happy to at last be in Eretz
We were astonished and shocked by the fact that the British held a detainees’ camp of Jews in Eretz
The British soldiers answer was: ‘you are not free yet. Meanwhile you will be in Atlit camp until your turn to be set free comes, and the British Mandate government only allots that according to the quota of permits. Meanwhile all the permits have been detained as retaliation for the Hebrew Community protest actions against the deportations to Cyprus and the British forbidding the immigration of the Holocaust survivors to Eretz Israel‘.
We arrived at Atlit camp and were shocked over again. We were in a real prisoners camp. Huge fences, guard towers manned by armed soldiers and long neglected wooden buildings. The sight reminded us of the not so distant past that we wanted so much to be free of. Our disappointment was harsh and bitter.
We had no choice but to resign ourselves to the new situation. We were comforted by the fact that at least we were in Eretz
In the camp we met hundreds, maybe thousands of detainees that had come before us. The population consisted of people from many countries and ages. Most of the people were lonely. There were very few families with children. The atmosphere in the camp was gloomy. Just the fact that once again, we, Holocaust survivors, were segregated in a crowded camp without a daily organized schedule brought us back to the days from which we wanted to be cut off…
