Habonim Dror is a Socialist Zionist Culturally Jewish youth
movement that has been at the forefront of Jewish education for
over 75 years. Habonim “The builders” was created in 1929 as the
brainchild of Wellesley Aron to give Jewish children a strong
grounding in Judaism and the importance of Israel as a focus for
the Jewish world. Chaverim of Habonim went on to be major
contributors to the Labour Zionist movement establishing
kibbutzim attracting the likes of Teddy Kollek as a shaliach.
Dror “freedom” was created in 1915 as the secular pioneers of
Russian Zionism. Just under 30 years later they found themselves
on the frontline of the struggle in the Warsaw ghetto and
tragically many members died fighting for Dror.
In
1980 the movements united and “The builders of freedom” was
formed. Today Habonim Dror has members in over 20 countries from
Argentina to Zimbabwe and still holds true to the aims and
values of educating and inspiring Jewish youth that have been at
the core of the movement since its conception. Our activities
reflect these ambitions from our summer and winter machanot
“camps”, to our programmes in Israel which are designed to
revitalise the chalutznik “pioneering” spirit which helped build
Eretz Yisrael. Habonim Dror is proud of its heritage and hopes
that we can continue to inspire for another 75 years and beyond.
Habonim Dror runs annual residential
winter and summer camps for ages 10 – 16, as well as weekly
Sunday meetings in Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Oxford
and London.
