About the Iqrith Heritage Society

About the Iqrith Heritage Society
The association seeks to collect all significant information concerning Iqrith's population, property and history, so as to plan the reconstruction of the village. It also works to raise awareness - locally, nationally, and internationally, about the problems facing the community and its exiles, through the use of posters and booklets in Arabic and English.

Goals

  • To work for the repatriation of Iqrithi people who were deported, and repatriating them;
  • To preserve the heritage of Iqrith and its community for future generations

Main Activities

  • Census of original citizens of Iqrith, whenever they have been dispersed;
  • Established a database which maps the demographic structure of Iqrith exiles, both inside and outside the borders of Israel;
  • Publishing a book on inheritances within Iqrith;
  • Setting up a database of legal documents relating to this issue;
  • Raising this issue in local and state forums whenever possible;
  • Ensuring material (and moral) inheritances are passed down generations of Iqrithi citizens;
  • Summer camps for young Iqrithis
