About Habonim Dror Australia
Habonim Dror Australia is a Jewish Zionist Youth Movement which operates in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. One of our main aims is that of Jewish education. Habonim Dror Australia is affiliated with Habonim Dror Olami, the Takam kibbutz movement, and the Israeli youth movement HaNoar HaOved V'Lomed.
In order to achieve this aim we run weekly meetings for two hours for all ages from years three to 12. We also run two camps a year in Melbourne, and also participate in the end-of-year Federal Camp. In the winter school holidays, the junior movement (years three to eight) go on camp for five days, immediately followed by the senior movement (years nine to 12).
The aim of these meetings and camps is to educate the Jewish Youth of Melbourne and to transform them into the leaders of tomorrow. This is achieved by an intense hadracha course which is run throughout year 10, followed by a year as madaatzim and finally Shnat Hachsarah in Israel which takes place as a gap year after year 12. Upon return, Shnat participants then become the bogrim of the movement for two years or more.
