Judy Temime is Shavei Zion's town archivist and regularly writes on different topics from Shavei Zion's history. You can now read these reports in English on the website of the Former Rexingen Synagogue. Judy Temime was born and raised in the USA.
Judy's article “Transportation and Transport” centers on building up the transportation and traffic system in and around Shavei Zion.

After founding the settlement, Shavei Zion needed access to the regional transport system. A road to Shavei Zion was built with sand from the beach, a logistics system had to be set up, and a bus line was opened. In Shavei Zion itself, transportation often consisted of donkey carts, horses, and tractors. And the sea played an important role in supporting the settlement during the War of Independence.
