A new initiative called "Wings" has launched at the Bnei Akiva Golan Ulpana in Katsrin, aiming to bridge the gap between current students and the town's founding generation. Eighth-grade students will collaborate with elderly residents, referred to as the "veterans class," to produce a podcast series documenting the history of Katsrin's establishment and immigration.
Through this project, students will learn the intricacies of radio production, including research, writing, interviews, and studio recording. The collaboration will culminate in a series of podcasts that preserve the life stories and immigration experiences of Katsrin's founders. These recordings are slated to be broadcast on Katzrin Radio during the town's jubilee celebrations and will be kept as a community keepsake.
Elchanan Galat, CEO of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center, emphasized the educational significance of the project. He stated that understanding one's roots is crucial for future direction, and this initiative allows students to hear firsthand accounts of the immigration, settlement, and values that shaped Katsrin. Galat believes this process will effectively pass on the legacy to the next generation.
