The house where Achad Ha’am, late Jewish philosopher, lived and died, was dedicated today as a national institution. The room where he worked will be preserved just as he left it. The library and other belongings of the house will later form a nucleus for a collection of Judaica and Palestinica.
Chaim Nachman Bialik was the principal speaker at the dedication exercises. Representatives of many organizations attended the ceremonies.
