Abstract
Apparently, the sixties did not skip Israel altogether. The article describes the hippie community of Rosh Pinna, juxtaposing it with concurrent Israeli-Zionist life. The study compares various aspects of the hippie and Zionist ideologies: political-military agendas, spiritual sources of inspiration, music, nativeness, nature, settlement and community, social behavior, and sexuality. There are currently three widespread images of Rosh Pinna: Zionist, touristic, and alternative-spiritual. The study unveils the unknown origins of the first alternative community in Israel, while also presenting some historical events that preceded and contributed to the development of globalist, liberal, and spiritual contemporary trends in Israeli culture.
