Silver Medal - Zionist Organization "Ben Yehuda" in Tripoli, Libya
Silver medal of the Zionist organization "Ben Yehuda" (named after Eliezer Ben Yehuda) in Tripoli, Libya, [1930s].
Obverse: Star of David with the word "Zion" within and the legend ""Hahis' [Hahistadrut] Haz[Hazionit] beTripolitana M' [machleket] hch' [Hachinuch] / 'Ben Yehuda'". Reverse: Open book with the letter Aleph-Yod (The Ten Commandments) and the legend "Revival of a language - revival of a people" (Hebrew).
The organization "Ben Yehuda" was founded in Tripoli in 1931 and was engaged in Zionist activity focusing on teaching the Hebrew language. The organization held ceremonies and gatherings, organized sports games, produced Hebrew plays and opened a Hebrew library and a Hebrew school "HaTikva". In 1932, in view of the great success of "HaTikva" school, the organization undertook the education department of the Jewish congregation in the city (with the approval of the Italian authorities who recognized the importance of the educational activities of "Ben Yehuda"). The operations of the organization spread outside Tripoli. When WW II broke out, the Italian rule banned all official Zionist action. However, the organization continued to exist secretly until Italy joined the war.
