The development of hakhsharot is connected to the intensity of Jewish colonisation of Palestine in the interwar period and to the growth of the Eretz Israel emigratory and kibbutz movement. In 1937 Vorobeichic was commissioned by He-halutz [Hebrew for ‘settler’, ‘pioneer’], the largest Zionist youth organisation, to produce a photographic documentation of the hakhsharot. He visited almost twenty of them and took over 500 pictures, thus creating the largest and the only professional material documenting their operations.

In Palestine, the artist worked as a photographer and graphic artist for the Histadrut trade union, the main organiser of Jewish economic—and at times political—life. On its commission, he took hundreds of reportage photographs showing the construction of Tel Aviv and the port, as well as documenting the life of settlers in kibbutzim. He designed posters, information expositions and illustrated publications using his own photo-montages created in the style of the European avant-garde. In all his activities, he drew from the skills he had acquired in Dessau and in Paris, thus imparting a truly modern character to his artworks.
