Camp Hellelujah “Young International Leadership”
 
More than 200 chanichim, chanichot, olim and olot of Habonim Dror, from 6 different countries took part in Camp Hallelujah – the largest international educational event for young leaders. In times of very limited international and local travel due to pandemic restrictions, the people from the Tnua, The Israel Experience and other partners, have worked extremely hard and made the impossible happen – An international youth camp in Israel!
 
Camp Hallelujah is the highlight event of The Hallelujah Project. A yearly leadership training program for Israeli and overseas youth. As part of the program, the participants got to know youth from across the country and the world and took part in activities that emphasized Hallelujah Project’s core values of; multiculturalism, tolerance, environmentalism, and humanism. During the Camp they took part in peulot, engaged in educational conversations, and acquired skills and approaches towards young and impactful leadership. These were accompanied with fun integration activities such as ODT, surfing, yoga, cooking and more. We take pride that this highlight event was run by our Habonim Dror Shnat Hachshara leaders from South Africa, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Holland. Camp Hallelujah was a huge success and received wide media coverage in Israel. See here: Camp Hallelujah  /  Camp Hallelujah Press
This is an opportunity to thank those who took part in this project! Well Done!
And see you in Camp Hallelujah 2022!

It is with great excitement that we recommence our Kenim activities across the country!
