2023Meir Har-Zion - Set

Meir Har-Zion was born in 1934 in Herzliya and lived in Moshav Rishpo until age 13. His love of nature and school trips was evident even then. His writing ability was apparent in essays he wrote in elementary school and kept in a special notebook. In 1947, after his parents divorced, Meir and his father moved to Kibbutz Ein Harod. In school there, he showed extremely high capabilities and boundless curiosity, which he satisfied by hiking in the area – Mount Gilboa, Qumi Hill and Beit She’an Valley. As he grew older, he travelled extensively throughout the young country.
