The Jewish Brigade, founded in 1944, was characterized by a vibrant cultural life. The Jewish Agency endeavored to strengthen the Zionist sense of identity of the soldiers. Besides the Zionist emblems of the Brigade, the use of Hebrew, providing a rabbi for every unit and holding public prayers every Jewish holiday, the Jewish Agency also strived to expose the soldiers to Hebrew culture. The Brigade had, for an example, a theater and music group – "Me'ein Ze" ("Sort Of", in Hebrew), that performed stage plays and music performances in Hebrew.
As part of this trend, every unit of the Brigade had a Hebrew journal. After the Nazi defeat, it was decided to publish one newspaper for the whole Brigade: Ha'hayal ("The Soldier"), that appeared daily until the Jewish Brigade was disbanded on June 26, 1946.
The caricatures before you were published in the Ha'hayal newspaper, and were penned by Avi Beeri and Shmuel (Mula) Tzeitlin (who received his 15 minutes of fame when he took part in the first Chasake trip from Tel Aviv to Haifa in 1950).
