== History ==

Palmach AZA was established in 2005. The name [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmach Palmach] comes from the special operations unit of the Haganah.

At the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year, [[Exodus AZA (SR-AC)| Exodus AZA]] #2505-0420 knew that its membership numbers (which exceeded 75) were extraordinarily large and that a split of some kind was necessary either in the middle of that year or at the end. Alephs Shaun Lee and Sammy Shapiro served as co-S’gans of that chapter, and when the split/fuse (members from [[Hazakah AZA]] were supposed to join as well, yet only a few did) took place at the end of that year, Shaun and Sammy went their separate ways to each be the Godol of a chapter, Shaun of [[Exodus AZA (SR-AC) |Exodus]], and Sammy of the new [[Atlanta Council]] AZA chapter.
