In the battle of Tel Hai in 1920 between hundreds of Arabs and the few Jewish pioneers on the agricultural settlement of Tel Hai, Joseph Trumpeldor died from his wounds. A Russian-born Zionist activist, Trumpeldor was commander of a detachment of reinforcements from nearby kibbutz Kfar Giladi who supported the handful of Jewish residents living in Tel Hai. He organised a school for Jewish soldiers, attracting both Jewish and non-Jewish prisoners throughout the entire camp who wished to improve their education about Jews and Judaism. When the war ended and Trumpeldor was released he was determined to come to Israel and further his Zionist activity. He came to Israel and settled in Tel Hai where his memory will forever be remembered with the Roaring Lion Monument of Bravery at Kibbutz Kfar Giladi.
