RUTENBERG WAS ABLE TO LIVE IN THIS BUILDING FOR ONLY A YEAR. IN HIS WILL, RUTENBERG LEFT THE HOUSE AND THE EXTENSIVE GARDEN SURROUNDED BY THE WALL FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITY. ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF ROTHENBERG, THE YOUTH EDUCATION INSTITUTE WAS INAUGURATED BY PINCHAS ROTHENBERG. THE FIRST OPERATION OF THE INSTITUTE WAS TO HOLD SEMINARS FOR YOUTH MOVEMENTS.

IN 1947, THE BUILDING WAS CONFISCATED, AS PART OF THE AREA IT RESIDES, BY THE BRITISH ARMY. THE STAFF OF THE INSTITUTE MOVED TO THE DETENTION CAMPS IN CYPRUS, WHERE THEY CONTINUED. AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE, THE COMPOUND, LIKE THE REST OF THE BRITISH ARMY, WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE IDF.
