He served during the Israeli War of Independence and in 1940 joined the Palmach, the underground Jewish army's elite force. He also had a very successful career in politics. Shamir's talent for writing became apparent while he was still a child. His stories won attention because they evoked poignant political questions, even while Shamir was still very young. With all that attention came a lot of opposition. He was one of the founders of the Movement for Greater Israel shortly after the Six-Day War. The movement pushed for Israel to keep everything it had conquered during the war, including the Gaza Strip. Shamir is one of Israel's most prolific writers, publishing more than fifty books, six collections of short stories, thirteen plays, and a host of other poems, essays, and other creative works. In 1955, he received the Bialik Prize, and in 1988 he was awarded the Israel Prize. In 2002, he received the ACUM Prize for Lifetime Achievement. At least six of his novels were translated into English. He published his first story in 1940. His 1947 novel "He Walked Through the Fields" won him the Ussishkin Prize and went on to become the first play performed in Israel after it was established as its own state. In addition to writing, Shamir also edited many publications throughout his career, including the Bamahane, the official newspaper of the Israel Defense Forces. --------------------------- Learn Hebrew with HebrewPod101!

It has been a tourist favorite for over two thousand years. The seventeen mineral-rich hot springs are famous for curing skin and other diseases. Redeveloped in 1929, this city is the lowest city of Israel (technically, it's Jericho, but some would consider that a political debate) at two hundred meters below sea level. It is another place significant to the history of Christianity. Tiberias holds the part of the Sea of Galilee where Jesus is said to have walked on water. This is also where the baptism of John the Baptist supposedly took place. There are some beautiful churches in the area that are dedicated to events in the life of Jesus. The beautiful scenery and the calm environment of this place gives one the peace a person can only dream of. One of the more interesting museums in Tiberias is the Dona Gracia Museum, which tells how Gracia Nasi helped Jewish refugees in pictures. The museum, which was once a castle, is divided into halls that show different portions of history. One of the most exciting ways to see Tiberias is to rent a bicycle and ride around the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This "tour de Tiberias" is one trip you will definitely remember, even though you might be exhausted after a whole day of cycling. You can also visit Kibbutz Ein-Gev. Take a boat ride to the place, where you can enjoy a variety of seafood and explore the resort village. Tourists can explore the Sea of Galilee using boating services. The natural spa of Tiberias, made up of hot springs, is known for its magic ability to cure skin diseases and other ailments. --------------------------- Learn Hebrew with HebrewPod101!
