9/19/1944: The Jewish Brigade was established. It fought well in Africa and Italy.

          La-olel, v'larach,                   For the helpless and the young,
          She-arim po niftach!                 Wide the gates we fling!
          Lamach v'lazaken,                    For the aged and the lame,
          Anu po chomat magen!                 The shield of victory we bring!
  
                  "Shir Ha-Palmach" was written in the Brigade and became a most popular 
                  song of the Palmach, the striking force of Haganah.  From Ruth Rubin, 
                  A Treasury of Jewish Folksong
