“Fifth ‘Hapoel’ Convention”, illustrated poster. Lito. Press “Dafna”, 1952. Design: Richard Blass.
Illustrated poster for the fifth convention of “Hapoel” in Pesach (April) 1952.
The illustration depicts a parade of sportsmen. On the right – two flags – a red flag with the emblem of “Hapoel” and the flag of Israel.

The Hapoel convention was a national and international sports event that was held once every four years under the auspices of the President of the State of Israel. The public council of the convention was headed by the general secretary of the General Workers’ Union. The first convention was held in 1928, and the 15th and last convention was held in 1995.

In the beginning, there was a national gathering of all members of Hapoel, athletes in a variety of fields, who held meetings and competitions that lasted several days. As the number of “Hapoel” members increased, so did the nature of the event. At the center of the convention – international and national events.
