Our vision: Uncover today's Israel
In 1902, Theodor Herzl authored a significant book in Jewish history, titled 'Altneuland', translated into 'Old New Land'.
The fictional narrative depicts the journey of two friends in the Old Land of Israel, evaluating the transformative changes in the society that emerged there, as a New Land for the Jewish People.
The book played a key role in expediting the return of Jews to their historical homeland.
Today, My Old New Land is your compass to comprehend your true New Land. From cinema to politics, history, and literature, enrich your connection with contemporary Israel.
Welcome back!
