Figure 1.--Here we see an Isreli boy named Tomer ready for his first day of school in Haifa. Note his huge book bag. The photos were taken in September 2005. Click on the image to see Tomer's school. The yellow writing on the wall says, "Shalom kittah 1" = "Peace (welcome) 1st class". |
We do not yet have much information about Isreali schoolwear. Isreali school children have not worn uniforms. Fashions were influenced by the generally European origins of most Isrealis. Early images mostly show boys wearing short pants. Climate was another factor. Fashions since the 1970s have generall been the same as the American-influenced pan-European fashions worn in Europe, again affected by the climate. A HBC reader describes the experiences at one school in 1979. We also note the first day of school at an Isreali primary school. The children all wear sport casual styles. Sandals seem very popular. We also see very large book packs. Hopefully our Isreli readers will provide us some information about Isreli schools and schoolwear.
