Abstract
Avigdor Hama'iri, a Jewish poet, writer and journalist, was born in 1887. He wrote many poems, stories and essays. The first of his works was written in Yiddish, and then he began to write in Hebrew. In the First World War, Hamairi was involved in captivity, and his wealth of war and families wrote many things. In this research, we focused on his writings, influenced by war and alienation. Hamairi was part of the Zionist system. He sang in Palestine even though he was not born like many Jewish writers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This writer has used many terms that encourage immigration to Palestine and the rejection of alienation and integration into European societies, such terms: the land of the Fathers, Christ, promised land, the land of alienation, etc .His use of literary productions depicting the tragedies of war and alienation had a great impact on the reader, which reflected on the goals of this writer who wanted to send messages to the recipient with political objectives .In this research, we wanted to find a link between the personalities of the people and their future world in the Promised Land (the Land of Israel), according to the goals of this Jewish writer.
