Shnat Hachshara at
Herzl Seminar
|
The Herzl Seminar at IDC Herzliya was attended by Latin America and South African Shnatties. The day started with a sumptuous breakfast, a tour and an explanation of programs abroad. The day resumed with activities focusing on the change of consciousness of Herzl, from assimilation to becoming the father of Zionism, the anti-Semitic influences in the process and why Zionism is a historical milestone. They also focused on activism, Tikkun Olam as a basic Jewish value and the effect of these on the life of Herzl. The day finished off with a play on the live of Herzl. It was an enriching and fascinating Day indeed!

This year, Habonim Dror is sending six Shlichim and Shlichot and two young Shlichot (“shin-shiniot” – pre military sevice) around the world. Each of the Shlichim is undergoing training by the Jewish Agency and Habonim Dror and will work as educators in various kenim of Habonim Dror in Europe and North America. In the next two months we will dedicate a place in our newsletter to get to know the Shlicim and wish them great success in their new role.
This month we're proud to introduce: Tamar Levy, Shir Doctorman and Gal Itzik!

I am Tamar Levy, a graduate of Habonim Dror North America. I made aliyah to Israel a little over ten years ago from Victoria, Canada. Today I live in Kibbutz Eshbal with my group, my spouse, and my daughter. In the past, I worked for Habonim Dror in Shnat programs and I'm really excited to go to Habonim Dror North America in Philadelphia as the main Shlicha. I'm also excited to drink American coffee there, but I will miss the vegetables and cottage cheese in Israel. Aleh Vehagshem!
