This marked the beginning of the Israeli Air Force and its most esteemed, iconic, and admired pilot course, which to this day is considered one of the toughest courses in the IDF and certainly the most famous.

The poster was printed right after the Israeli Independence War (1949-1950) and is in very good condition. We only know of the existence of two posters that survived, one in the Zionist archive and this one here.

Mapai (Mifleget Poalei Eretz Yisrael—The Workers Party of the Land of Israel) was established in 1930 as a result of the union of two parties: Ahdut HaAvoda party and Hapoel HaTzair. Throughout its existence, Mapai was the largest, strongest, and most dominant party on the political map. During the British Mandate, it controlled the national institutions, the Zionist Congresses, and the Histadrut labor federation. After the establishment of the State of Israel, Mapai assumed a central position in the Knesset, in the government, in most of the local authorities, and in many other institutions, authorities, and organizations. Four Prime Ministers—David Ben-Gurion, Moshe Sharett, Levi Eshkol, and Golda Meir—were from Mapai. As a typical mass party, Mapai was very involved in the lives of citizens, inter alia providing social services such as a health fund, sports club, and youth movement.

Mapai’s support bases included the Histadrut, the cooperative settlement movement (moshavim), and the collective settlement movement (kibbutzim), although in the decades following the establishment of the State, the agricultural forces lost some of their clout to urban forces. Although Mapai’s socialism was always pragmatic, the younger generation in Mapai demanded even greater pragmatism, as opposed to the veterans, whose socialist ideological positions were stronger. Mapai’s security policy was also pragmatic compared to that of its sister parties in Europe, due to Israel’s unique security problems. This position made it easier for Mapai to form coalitions with parties to its right. On matters of religion and state, the party supported maintaining the status quo (which Ben-Gurion had initiated), which meant integrating the religious and ultra-Orthodox sectors into Israeli society while opposing the possibility of having the state governed by Jewish law (Halacha).

In 1965, Mapai and Labor Unity ran together under the Alignment (Ma’arach) list. In 1968, These two parties, along with Rafi, merged into the Israeli Labor Party.

The poster was designed by Levi Yitzhak BK. He was an Israeli artist and self-taught artist, a man from the old settlement in Jerusalem.
He is known for his murals FRESCO in synagogues and yeshivot in Jerusalem.

Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת תפארת ישראל‎; Ashkenazi Hebrew: Tiferes Yisroel), most often spelled Tiferet Israel, also known as the Nisan Bak Shul (Yiddish: ניסן ב”ק שול‎), after its co-founder, Nisan Bak. was a prominent synagogue between 1872 and 1948 in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.

The synagogue was inaugurated in 1872 by the Ruzhin Hasidim among the members of the Old Yishuv[citation needed] and was destroyed by the Jordanian Arab Legion on 21 May 1948 during the Battle for Jerusalem of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

The synagogue was left as ruins after the recapture of the Old City in the Six-Day War. In November 2012 the Jerusalem municipality announced its approval for plans to rebuild the synagogue.[3] The cornerstone was laid on May 27, 2014.
