ORT was established in Israel in 1948 and the first school opened in March 1949. Since then ORT has contributed considerably to shaping Israel’s workforce. The ORT online archive currently holds two documents related to these activities. More information on activities in Israel can be found in the 1948-1998 reports submitted to World ORT's governing bodies and in the World ORT Report (formerly the ORT Yearbook). These can be found under World ORT. Our photo galleries include more from Israel and a brief history of ORT's activities in the country is available here.
