The goal of its founders was, as stated in the proclamation distributed by the “Committee for the Establishment of the People’s House”, to allow the residents of Tel Aviv, especially the poor and the youth among them, to expand their education, “to hear educational lectures and enjoy concerts at affordable prices.” According to their vision, Beit Ha’am will be “a center for public education, a meeting place for all of us, a place for spreading the Hebrew language and culture.”

The activity at Beit Ha’am included a series of lectures, discussions of new literary works and Dumas matters, theater performances, and concerts. The lecturers were some of the best experts in their fields, such as Prof. Yosef Kluizner who also lectured at the Hebrew University which was opened at the same time, Ze’ev Vilnai who lectured on the Land of Israel, Dr. Yehezkel Koifman who discussed issues in the Bible, the poets Leah Goldberg and Elisheva who lectured on literary topics and Dr. Yaakov Belovstein (Brother of Rachel the poet), one of the founders of Beit Ha’am who also lectured on the humanities.

The Broom was a satirical Hebrew theater that operated during the Yishuv period and in the early days of the state. Over the years of its existence, it has produced over 70 satirical programs.

The Broom was founded in April 1928, as a stage for topical political satire, critically examining what is happening in Israel. The founder and first director of the theater was Yitzhak Moshe Daniel, who had experience in managing theaters in Bucharest and Sofia. The initial nucleus of the actors were friends who retired from the Kettle Theater.

The theater responded to every political event in the country’s life, presenting a series of satirical skits in every show on matters of immigration, Hebrew work, the Hebrew language, and the products of the country. The name of the theater is derived from the Odyssey theater called “The Red Broom”.

The material for the plays of the broom was written by writers and poets in the Land of Israel such as Emanuel the Russian and Abraham Shalonsky (who defined the broom as “the bit of tea left from the kettle”)
