Habonim Dror is proud to announce that the price of Israel tour has remained the same for the third consecutive year. With the help of the UJIA Israel experience we have worked hard to limit costs without reducing the quality of the programme.

Habonim Dror Israel tour provides our participants with a four week trip to Israel where they will discover the history and diversity of Israel and all the amazing sites that it has to offer!

During Israel tour, all participants will travel the length and breadth of Israel in what can only be described as a jam packed few weeks! Whilst visiting all the cultural places of interest such as the Kotel, Masada and Tzfat..... to name a few, there is also loads of fun to be had on the way. Kayaking down the jordon river, swimming in the Kinneret, camal riding and Beduin hospitality are just a taster of what is to come.

All our tours are very well orgainsed and led by experienced madrichim who have held senior positions on our machanot (camps) providing them with the neccessary experience needed. The two English madrichim are accompanied by two Israeli madrichim, one of whom is a professional tour guide and the other a qualified medic.

Israel tour is the start of an exciting journey with Habo Dror. As your amazing experience on tour draws to a close, many more habo doors open as your hadracha training begins, your chance to be a madrich/a starts here.

Habonim Dror is offering you the experience of a lifetime. Habonim Dror is a socialist, Zionist, culturally Jewish Youth Movement and our tours reflect this in the way they are run. As a socialist movement, we focus on communal living and group dynamics. The tour runs a shared 'kupah' (kitty) system for money which the group controls for themselves. A huge emphasis is also put on group building, shared decisions and mutual respect which provide an unforgettable and unbeatable month with a group who will become friends for life.

Habonim Dror is an international youth movement which exists in 23 countries all over the world. This programme offers a unique opportunity for members of HD from around the world to meet and learn from each other and share experiences together.

Habonim Dror has many connections with communal Kibbutzim and during our month, we visit many Habonim Dror Kibbutzim all around Israel. We also work closely with Hanoar Ha'Oved Ve'lomed, our sister movement in Israel, and spend time on 'Irbutz' (urban kibbutz). Here we spend time learning about what it is really like to be Israeli and spend time helping to improve some parts of society. This 'encounter' is invaluable to experiencing Israel and builds ties with Israelis which will continue into the future.

Throughout Machaneh Yisrael, we offer a comprehensive leadership training programme in Israel. Participants return from Israel qualified to be leaders on our huge range of activities - ranging from weekly Kenim to our summer and winter machanot (camps) all over Europe

We offer so many different educational and fun opportunities that we want to share with you. If you want a month of unadulterated, undiluted fun then Habonim Dror is the place for you.

"Being in Israel and having toured for a whole month with friends has been the most amazing experience of my life and I thank Habonim Dror so much for making the trip possible."
