The Bedouin of Rahma, Neighbors of Yeroham (Part 2 of Tastes and Sounds of Yeroham)

The approximately 1,500 Bedouin (262 households) who live in the unrecognized village of Rahma adjacent to Yeroham, belong to the large El-Azazmeh tribe in the Negev. Former nomads, the Bedouin wandered with their flocks in the region for ages, finding water at Hagar's Well and vegetation for grazing in the valleys. A few families lived near Hagar's Well even before 1948, but most of the current families were moved to the area of Yeroham by the IDF in the 1950's. Close and warm ties link Rahma Bedouin and Yeroham Jews for decades, augmented over the past 15 years by many joint projects and grassroots initiatives. One of these joint efforts is the establishment of an elementary school in Rahma for 270 children in grades 1-8. You will get to know what an unrecognized village is and what life is like in it, visit the Rahma Elementary School (which is a shared dream come true), meet inspiring men and women who are working to advance what is Israel's poorest population group, and see some "cooking from nature" at the White Hill Farm agricultural center, which serves both communities. Yeroham and Rahma demonstrate a unique, bottom-up and top-down model of shared society that has led to replication in other areas of the Negev. People we will meet include: Sliman Alfrejat, principal of the Rahma Elementary School, veteran nature teacher, whose BA is from Ben-Gurion University and MA in educational administration from a Jordanian university; Salima Sagaira, ground-breaking Bedouin woman entrepreneur, mother of 7 (including triplets), who was the first woman in Rahma to open a tourism hospitality tent; Shikma Doron and Ebtesam Elbadur, senior kindergarten teachers from Yeroham and Rahma, who bring their kindergarten children to the White Hill Farm, to grow vegetables and good neighborly relations together; and Yael Agmon, dedicated and tireless director of Atid Bamidbar's Incubator for Bedouin-Jewish Initiatives, and coordinator of Ajram, Bedouin Women's Initiative (www.ajram.co and Ajram العجرم- Bedouin Women’s Initiative - דף הבית | פייסבוק (facebook.com)) – Ajram was one of Salima's original ideas.
