Background: The original series
A group of girls and boys set up a secret society called "Hasamba"; their adventures take place, first during the British Mandate and the struggle for statehood of Israel, and then as they battle their country's enemies: infiltrators, spies, criminals and other offenders. Though suspenseful, the writing is entertaining, with humor, as well as informative. It emphasizes loyalty, friendship, dedication, and courage.
Yaron Zahavi (the handsome guy) and his deputy, Tamar (the pretty girl), are the first leaders of Hasamba. Later they are replaced by Yoav Tzur and his deputy, Rachel, Which are not mentioned in the series.
The format of each story is similar: Hasamba's leader explains the situation and delegates tasks to each member. One member is captured and successfully escapes with help from the outside. The bad guys are punished and there is a happy end.
Their secret meeting place is a real location in Tel Aviv, known as "The Electric Cave", which upon returning from a long stay abroad, the author discovered to be destroyed for the sake of building the Tel Aviv Hilton Hotel.

Hasamba books, especially the first sixteen books, were very popular among the youth and adults in the first two decades of Israel, and constituted an integral part of Israeli culture at that time.
