In the slope above the valley the almond tree is blooming There is a citrus fragrance in the air It is the time before the summer the gates of the heart are opened And those who enter are always blessed. On days like this We wait until night falls Waiting for the approaching footsteps We do not close the bolt We do not shut our eyes On such days we listen. The hungry will find a slice of bread The tired will find shade and water from the well Those whose homes were destroyed Will come in quietly through the door And will be able to stay forever ........................................... Those hungry will alwas find home here.... This is the house we built This is the pine tree we planted This is the path and the well Whoever comes here is our brother and is welcome to sit and join us The gate will never again be closed ........................................... Those hungry will always find home here...." ........................................... ........................................... This is the story- "Shadow and Well Water - Yoram Taharlev - Welcoming and giving refuge to all immigrants European refugees who had come to Israel after world war 2 On the afternoon of October 9, 1945, the bell rang at Kibbutz Yagur and the members were called to the slopes of the Carmel to help the new immigrants reach the Kibbutz. The children were also rushed to help. Among them was Yoram Tarlowski, later known as the famous poet Yoram Taharlev. He relates that he saw the weary new immigrants exhausted from their long journey being supported by the kibbutz members, quickly scattered into rooms. Clothing was distributed from the clothing storage and given to the newcomers so that when the British soldiers will come and inspect the kibbutz, they would not be able to distinguish between the veteran kibbutz members and the refugees. An instruction was given to all members and immigrants to answer every question with the words: "I am a Jew from the Land of Israel." The event left its mark on the young boy and later, when he wrote the song "Shadow and Well Water", he saw in his mind's eye the sights of the immigrants as they arrived at the Kibbutz."
