🎬 Did you know our historic site recently turned into a TV set? One of Israel’s biggest comedy shows chose the Ayalon Institute as their filming location because our unique grounds look just like an authentic military base! It’s actually the perfect fit- back in the 1940s, we were a top-secret underground am******on factory disguised as a kibbutz. We loved hosting the production, and we can’t wait to host you too.
Come visit us on your next trip to Israel to discover the incredible, real-life history behind the scenes 🤫

The Museum was honored to host representatives from "Prayerland", a Christian organization based in Darmstadt, Germany. The organization’s core mission focuses on prayer, youth empowerment, and strengthening ties with the State of Israel. During the visit, we had the pleasure of meeting the organization's directors, Debora and Tobias, who shared insights into their meaningful work. Joining them was their infant son, whom they beautifully named Jaron - a reflection of their deep appreciation for the Hebrew language and heritage. We extend our sincere gratitude to the directors and the delegation for their valued visit and steadfast friendship. We wish them continued success in all their future endeavors.
