A new initiative called "Wings" has launched at the Bnei Akiva Golan Ulpana in Katzrin, aiming to bridge the gap between current students and the town's founding generation. Eighth-grade students will participate in radio workshops and meet with the town's veteran residents to jointly produce a series of podcasts detailing the history of Katzrin's establishment and immigration.
Through the project, students will learn the intricacies of media production, from research and writing to interviews and studio recording, alongside the veteran residents. The collaboration will culminate in the creation of podcasts that preserve the life stories, immigration experiences, and local history of the town's founders.
These recordings are slated to be broadcast on Katzrin Radio during the town's upcoming 50th-anniversary celebrations and will be kept as a community keepsake. Elchanan Galat, CEO of the Yeshivot and Ulpanot Bnei Akiva Center, emphasized the educational significance of the project, stating that understanding one's roots is crucial for future direction. He highlighted that the initiative allows students to hear firsthand accounts of immigration, settlement, and the values that guided the town's builders, thereby passing this heritage to the next generation.
