Abstract

What is the source of the Alternative Spiritual image if Rosh Pinna? In many ways, it has to do with the history of the first Israeli Hippie colony, that operated at the picturious upper street of the colony since the 1960s.

The lecture presents the Alternative Spiritual image of contemporary Rosh Pinna, and its unknown historical roots. We focus on the various spiritual identities characterestic of the settlement in Old Rosh Pinna and in its sorrouding, as well as the confrontation between the Zionistic-agricultural-institutional and the Hippie-spiritual narratives.
