The "Alef" periodical of the "HaIvrim HaTze'irim" movement (formerly "Ha'Va'ad LeGibush HaNo'ar HaIvri") was published and edited by Aharon Amir and Yonatan Ratosh together with various movement members, including Adaya Horon (A.G.

The movement was founded in 1939 and reached its peak in the 1940s, influencing political thought, art, literature and the intellectual life in Eretz Israel and the State of Israel.
