Judy Temime is Shavei Zion's town archivist and regularly writes on different topics from Shavei Zion's history. You can now read these reports in English on the website of the Former Rexingen Synagogue. Judy Temime was born and raised in the USA. In her article “Name and Symbol: Part 1,” Judy describes the difficulties of finding a name for the new settlement on the Mediterranean.

This first part is concerned with the very early years of Shavei Zion, for example building the barracks and the role Shavei Zion played in advertisements for emigrating from Nazi Germany.
