===Early life and education===
Yitzhak (Isaac) Rabin grew up in [[Tel Aviv]], where the family relocated when he was one year old.

The school taught the children agriculture as well as Zionism.<ref>Slater, pp. 28–29</ref> Rabin mostly received good marks in school, but he was so shy that few people knew he was intelligent.<ref>Slater, p. 31</ref>

In 1935, Rabin enrolled at an agricultural school on kibbutz [[Givat Hashlosha]] that his mother founded.

He joined a socialist-Zionist youth movement, [[HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed|HaNoar HaOved]].<ref>Slater, pp. 37, 39–40</ref>
