=Speech= My fellow Jews!!!!!!

After constant problems with the Turks, we decided to start work in practice for the end of Turkish rule over Palestine One of our friends suggested organizing a military uprising of the settlement with the help of the British. Even though we know that the Turkish army is afraid, we decide not to take a risk, we fear the consequences if the plan will fail.

In the end we decided to establish an organization that will provide military information to the British so that they can take over Palestine from the Turks. We tried a number of times to make contact with the British but most of them failed, and also if we did made contact with them it did not hold for a long and the British were not really enthusiastic about the idea. After two members of the organization were attacked, I decided I had to return to Israel from Turkey to support the organization and quickly I was trained as a spy. Before a few days my brother Aaron Aronson renewed the connection established from different countries and asked the British to support the British in Palestine. He started to organize regular cruises ships of various countries to reach the shores of the country. We are members of the underground, hope you can explain the movement to make the Jewish nation join and support this movement and make it clear to us the importance of the settlement of the land of Israel. We have a desire to live as an independent agency, and have Jewish sovereignty in Palestine. We are members of the Nili working hard together to achieve the British government our goal and we urge the Jewish audience to come and join and support this important movement. We take this opportunity to thank you all sincerely for those who contributed and helped overseas, donated financial contributions and showed interest and support.

Hopefully the success of our organization will be the fulfillment of all! Sarah Aronson and members of the organization.

=rationale= The teacher chose to write about Women of Valor. We chose to write about Sara Ahronson because she was an outstanding fighter in the Nili underground. We chose to research about Sarah Aharonson because we see her as a role model. She was a true heroin who paid with her life. She was brave and dedicated her life for her nation and did as much as she could to promote the ideas she believed in. She promoted the Nili underground which was very important to her and her family. Even in her death she chose the brave path, choosing to die with respect, not allowing the Turks to humiliate the Jews. May we all be worthy of her memory.
