FROM OUR PAST Templer Record 739 – June 2011 Page 33 THE HERITAGE PAGES This month we explore the beginnings of the Templer movement in the light of our 150 year celebrations. In 1861, the situation was entirely different from our modern, fast-moving world, but I admire our forebears for their strong belief in the message of Jesus Christ and their trust in the power of the Almighty, as well as for their determination and sacrifice. To our younger generations it may appear unbelievable that our forebears gave up their homes in Germany and made a new start in that primitive and most neglected corner of the Ottoman Empire – Palestine. While other religious groups had tried to settle in Palestine with little success, the Templer pioneers succeeded and built something that is still remembered and valued in Israel, where considerable efforts are being made in restoring Templer houses. Historians like Alex Carmel, Haim Goren, Yossi Ben-Artzi, Jakob Eisler, Yaron Perry and Danny Goldman have reawakened interest in our past and they present it in the light of time through their positive publications, which surprises and pleases many of our members. Young people who have not experienced the deeply felt Templer spirit in our former settlements may find it hard to appreciate the effort and sacrifice expended in achieving such admirable results. It would be wonderful to see parents making greater efforts to impart more of our history to our future generations. (Please see the list of publications following the pictures). The pictures on the following pages give a small indication of early Templer Community life. Horst Blaich A glowing tribute thanking Horst has been received from Bruno Weinmann for Horst’s Heritage work, and especially for promoting respectful and friendly interaction between Australian, Israeli and German historians.
