Özet:

 Alliance Israelite Universelle, established in the capital of France, Paris, in 1860, embarked on a rapid schooling activity in the Middle East. The schools opened in cities such as Tangier Morocco, Thessaloniki and Istanbul were followed by the Mikveh Israel Agricultural School opened in Jaffa in 1870. Charles Netter, one of the 6 founders of the society, established this school. With the opening of the school, it was planned to raise agricultural experts in order to carry out more qualified agriculture and animal husbandry in Jaffa. Furthermore, this school, which is hoped to make a significant contribution to the establishment of a Jewish state in the time to come, was named Mikveh Israel, that is, Israels Hope. Thanks to the economic and political support of the society and wealthy Jewish families such as Rothschild and Hirsch, the school achieved a remarkable success in agriculture over time. Theoretical and applied courses were scheduled for 7 years in order to teach European style agriculture to students. Being in the limelight thanks to its stable and disciplined education, non-Jewish families had started to enroll their children in the school. Failure to take deterrent measures against school administrators who did not hesitate to act against the Education Regulations declared in 1869 and 1885 by the Ottoman State paved the way for the harmful activities of the school increasingly. In the preparation phase of this study, the main sources in the Presidency Ottoman Archives, researchanalysis works in Turkish and English were utilized. Thus, in addition to the activities of the aforementioned school in the field of education, the study gives information about its contributions to Zionist activities until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

 1860ta Fransanın başkenti Pariste kurulan Alliance Israelite Universelle, Ortadoğuda hızlı bir okullaşma faaliyetine başladı. Tanca Fas, Selanik, İstanbul gibi şehirlerde açılan mektepleri 1870te Yafada açılan Mikveh İsrail Ziraat Mektebi takip etti. Cemiyetin kurulmasında yer alan 6 kişiden biri olan Charles Netter bu mektebin kurucusu oldu. Mektebin açılması ile Yafada daha nitelikli tarım ve hayvancılığın yapılabilmesi için tarım uzmanları yetiştirilmesi planlanıyordu. Ayrıca, ileride kurulması amaçlanan bir Yahudi devleti için önemli katkı sunacağı ümit edilen bu mektebe Mikveh İsrail İsrailin Umudu adı verildi. Cemiyetin, Rothschild ve Hirsch gibi zengin Yahudi ailelerinin ekonomik ve siyasi destekleri sayesinde mektep zaman içerisinde ziraat alanında önemli başarılar elde etti. Avrupa tarzı ziraatın öğrencilere öğretilebilmesi için 7 yıl boyunca teorik ve uygulamalı dersler verildi. İstikrarlı ve disiplinli eğitim sayesinde dikkatleri üzerine çeken mektebe artık Yahudi olmayan aileler de çocuklarını kaydettirmeye başladılar. Osmanlı Devletinin 1869 ve 1885te ilan edilen Maarif Nizamnamelerinin hilafına hareket etmekten kaçınmayan okul idarecilerine karşı caydırıcı önlemler alınmamasıalınamaması mektebin zararlı faaliyetlerin artmasına zemin hazırladı. Bu çalışmanın hazırlanmasında Cumhur- başkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivindeki ana kaynaklardan, Türkçe ve İngilizce araştırmainceleme eserlerden yararlanıldı. Böylelikle adı geçen mektebin maarif alanındaki faaliyetlerinin yanı sıra 1948de İsrail Devletinin kurulmasına kadar olan Siyonist faaliyetlere katkıları hakkında bilgi verildi.
