MBI woke up today for their last full day together in Israel. The last day of MBI is always dedicated to Sikkum (summary and reflection). They began after breakfast with a peulah about what else...Israel. They spoke with each other about how having this experience in Israel has effected them as Jewish people and reflected on what it felt like to be in Israel together as Jews. They also expressed their reactions about how it felt meaningful for them to be there as part of a youth movement that is striving to do more than only tour together.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Then, organized by bus they all had an activity called "warm and fuzzies," where they received booklets, decorated them and then wrote notes to each other in the booklets sort of like yearbooks. "Warm and fuzzies" are a great way to leave each other with a special note or to say something you didn't have the chance to over the summer.<br>
<br>
Later they split into kvutzot, had a few activities to bookend their summer with their madrichim and each got their shwag for the summer that they will take home. Each bus designed a t-shirt that represents as a group. In addition to the bus shirt, they all received a sweatshirt that was designed for all of MBI. Then, they all met for a tekes (ceremony) sporting their brand new tops. At the tekes a representative from each bus spoke about their experience on MBI and what they will take back with them to Habonim Dror North America.<br>
<br>
After dinner there was a final musicale where they performed for each other a few goodbye tunes and a there was a dance party that followed. Tomorrow morning they will leave for the airport at 5:40 am, to make the American and Canadian flights at 10:40 and 11:30 am.<br>

Yesterday MBI observed Tisha B'av, a Jewish day of mourning. There was a sleep in scheduled for tomorrow to begin their relaxed day. In the morning the staff showed the movie, "Life Is Beautiful." After there were chugim (special interest groups). Chanichim were able to choose one of the following topics to learn about:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The story of the book of Job. </li>
<li>A discussion on why we fast.</li>
<li>Chavka - the courier from Dror Movement ghetto flights during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.</li>
<li>How to educate youth about the Holocaust and Janusz Korczak - his history and philosophy on children.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Then there was a tekes (ceremony) to close the day before dinner where the chanichim were able to reflect in public with one another about the day. After dinner, the madrichim masa (tour guides) ran a sikkum peulah (summarizing activity) where they reviewed all of the places MBI visited and learned about. They used a giant Israel map to assist them in putting all the places in geographic perspective. After they played a few games with their madrichim and went to sleep. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today they have started their day long Sikkum (trip wrap-up). They will finish the day with a celebration tonight and leave early tomorrow morning to head home.</div>

They really enjoyed themselves especially after they found themselves at the water fall a ways down the run off. It was a great way to cool off from the hot Israel sun.<br />
<br />
After the hike they enjoyed lunch at a Druze owned restaurant. Besides enjoying Druze food, here they also learned about the Druze culture. The chanichim learned from a member of their community that Druze feel very loyal to the society in which they live in , even though they are not Jewish. This is why they too serve in the Israeli Defense Force. They are loyal to the state where they live while also seeking their own freedom of religion.<br />
<br />
Originally MBI was not scheduled to visit Rosh Hanikra, but because of the itinerary shuffling we were forced to do earlier in the summer, it freed some time this afternoon for them to do so. MBI was able to enjoy the spectacular view from the cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rosh+HaNikra/@33.093619,35.104227,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x151dd1134292089b:0x6eb9fba70bd00ca9">Rosh Hanikra</a> and also experience some of the very cool caves the geological formation has to offer.<br />
<br />
When the group returned back their hostel in Shlomi it was Erev Tisha b'av. They had a peulah by kvutza that was related to the holiday where they discussed how they choose to feel connected to Judaism.<br />

<br />
Shabbat began saturday morning for MBI with special chugim, a structure that you have probably grown familiar with if you have followed the blog closely. Chanichim were able to choose from learning rikud (Israeli dancing), playing music for each other, learning about the history of drag culture, writing letters, and learning together about the LGBTQ movement for equal rights in Israel.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon, in kvutzot, MBI had a peulah on constructive rebellion. The peulah's purpose was to prepare the group for what they would see today at the Lochme Ha'Getaot (Ghetto Fighters Museum). They used the example of the ghetto fighters in Warsaw from the Dror Movement who rebelled in the April of 1943.<br />
<br />
Yesterday was the five year anniversary of a shooting at the gay youth center in Tel Aviv. MBI learned about what happened there and led a small march around their hostel to remember the event and to symbolize their solidarity for those who struggle for LGBTQ rights.<br />

<b><u>Sunday</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This morning they traveled to Kibbutz Lochme Ha'Getaot (Ghetto Fighters Kibbutz), a few kilometers east of Acco. The Kibbutz was founded shortly after the war ended by members of Dror Movement and other movements who fought in the uprising. There is a beautiful museum there that MBI had the privilege to tour.<br />
<br />
The first of two exhibits they saw was called, "Resistance In The Holocaust." Here they learned in depth about the struggle of the Dror Ghetto Fighters and how the Movement played a crucial role in organizing the battle against the Nazis.<br />
<br />
The second they saw was, "Children In The Holocaust." Here they have an entire room dedicated to Janus Korczak. Korczak had an orphanage in Warsaw and hid many children there during the war until tragically, he and the children were taken away to camps.<br />
<br />
After touring the exhibits MBI had a tekes (ceremony) outside the museum. The tekes featured a few songs, poems and was was in honor of Chavka Folman Raban, a former courier between the ghettos and those who established the Kibbutz. He was a great friend to Habonim Dror recently who passed away this year,<br />
<br />
After their time at the museum they toured the city of Akko and learned about the history of the old city there. They also discussed the Arab-Jewish relations in the city since there were riots in 2008. Following the tour they had some time in the Shuk (market) and then drove to the nearby <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/shlomi+youth+hostel+Israel/@33.0676064,35.146127,11z/data=!3m1!4b1">Shlomi</a> Youth Hostel where they will be located until they leave Israel on Thursday morning.<br />

They also mixed in a little pool time. Kvutza Dan and Negev participated in the Kibbutz seminar day, where they toured Kibbutz Deganya Bet and learned about the structures of the old Kibbutz and new one when they traveled to Kibbutz Eshbal and toured there as well. And Carmel and Harel kayaked down the Jordan river at Kibbutz Kfar Bloom.<br />
<br />
After all of the kvutzot completed their days they left for the <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/ohalo+youth+hostel/@32.715762,35.572943,13z/data=!3m1!4b1">Ohalo youth hostel</a> where they will spend all of Shabbat. They were very excited to be reunited, though many of them raved about the time they spent on kibbutz. Before they began Kabbalat Shabbat, they had the chance to sit with their home machanot (camps) and reflect of the last week during mishpachot. Then, after Kabbalat there was dinner and rikud (Israeli dancing)<br />

Each pair of kvutzot staying on each kibbutz will have a chance to kayak on the Jordan River, tour their kibbutz, learn about the Kibbutz Movement, and have a yom kvutza on their kibbutz. During yom kvutza their madrichim run bonding activities and value based peulot (educational activities) for them)<br>
<br>
Kvutza Kinneret and Arava, who are staying on Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan, toured their kibbutz today. They had a walking tour of the grounds where they visited the chadar ochel (dinning hall), the children's house, refet (barn) and other locations on the kibbutz. Through the tour they learned about the original Kibbutz Movement. They learned how all of the structures on kibbutz came to be through values that the chalutzim (pioneers) held close. The madrichim challenged them to then think about the institutions they have at machaneh (camp) and the structures they implement every summer to resemble the kibbutz and to adopt the values of the chalutzim.<br>

Afterward they had some much needed pool time (it was really hot there today). In the afternoon they visited Kibbutz Eshbal, a modern kibbutz that is not privatized. The Kibbutz is run entirely by members of Hanoar Haoved. Tamir, MBI's techni (technical director) lives there and showed the group around the boarding school that is based on the Kibbutz where he is a teacher. He explained to them how the boarding school came to be and about the demographics of the chanichim (students) enrolled. Many of the students are Ethiopians who come from underprivileged backgrounds. They come to the school for an alternative schooling because things were not working out for them in the schools where they were originally enrolled. The boarding school and where they go to school during the week is entirely run by HD's sister movement Hanoar Haoved and based in Karmiel. <br>

For kvutzot Negev and Dan, it was there chance to kayak at Kibbutz Kfar Bloom down the Jordan. After the rush of kayaking ended and they were back on land, a pizza lunch awaited them. Afterward they had an afternoon of activities with their kvutza back at the guest house on Kibbutz Deganya<br>
<br>
Carmel and Harel had their yom kvutza today. The yom kvutza the most relaxed day of the three in the rotationhey. Both kvutzot had chugim (interest groups) run for them. They had the option of learning about the Scottish Revolution, Israeli Literature, Kiyum Meshutaf (shared existene in Israel), and journal writing. All four of them enjoyed the pool later on, and bonding activities run for them by their madrichim.<br>

One of the main ways they do this is by running seminars, like they did for our chanichim today, that challenge their views of the Arab-Israeli conflict from multiple angles.</span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br></span>
When they arrived, each bus was designated their own madrichim (guides) that led a lecture about the conflict. The lecture differed from what the MBIers had previously experienced on our program. This time, the madrichim spoke about the history through different stories of individual experiences from both sides. Most of the narratives shared with the group were from those who live in the neighboring villages. It's important to understand because the seminar center is located right near the green line border, separating Israel from the West Bank where historically tensions have been high.<br>
<br>
Then, all of MBI then came together for a lecture from an Amir, an Arab-Israeli. He told the group about his experience as an Arab Israeli. He focused on the discrimination in regards to the amount of public funding there is for Arab schools in Israel and the discrimination he faces in the job market. He told MBI that while he is proud of his Israeli citizenship, he identifies as a Palestinian.<br>
<br>
They then left the building and went to an area that overlooks the Palestinian village of Barta'a. What is especially compelling about the village is that the green line border runs right through the town. To make things more complicated, the separation barrier that separates Israel from the West Bank runs behind the village placing the village within Israel. The Palestinian Authority still has governmental control over the village, but doesn't have much access to it physically because of the wall. This makes running the city extremely difficult for the Palestinians. The consensus among the chanichim was that it was interesting to see how the conflict and borders actually affects peoples lives. This seminar gave them many examples of this on both sides.<br>
<br>
After their visit they were split by kvutzot and left for the kibbutzim where they will stay for the next three days. There will be two kvutzot on each of the following Kibbutzim: Deganya Bet, Ashdot Ya'akov, Sha'ar Hagolan. I will be sending out an email following this post with a document attached that shows who is in each kvutza and where they are staying the next three days.<br>
<br>
When they arrived at the kibbutzim they all went to the pool and later had a peulah where they processed what they had learned today. They finished the day by reading a speech given by Yitzhak Rabin to Hanoar Haoved (the movement he was a part of growing up) about the importance for the youth to push for peace.<br>

Yom Habonim is an event put on by the office of Habonim Dror Olami (World Habonim organization). Habonim members on Israel programs from all over the world were there. Julian, the Mazkir (director) of Olami spoke to all of the chanichim who were there for the party. He spoke about how there is a tradition in Judaism to celebrate a simcha (happy event), even during difficult times. He spoke about how important it was to be together as folks with a similar vision for the Jewish people even though they were clearly from all different walks of life. After he spoke they got to hang out on the beach, enjoy the water slides there, and chat with the other members of Habonim Dror.<br>
<br>
After lunch they left the beach for Haifa to explore one of Israel's most unique cities. Haifa,<br>
Israel's third largest city, is built into the Carmel Mountain on the Northern part of the coast.<br>
Haifa is well known as being a multi-ethnic city where Arabs and Jews have lived and worked<br>
together for years. Before they reached the urban center they visited Elijah's cave in the Carmel mountains. The cave is said to be where Elijah lived and hid 29 centuries ago.<br>
<br>
Afterward, there were two stops in the city before dinner. The first was the beautiful Baha'i gardens where they had a conversation about the origin of their religion. They asked themselves what role religion should have in the modern world. Lastly, they had a conversation led by Sarah Fisher, our educational director this summer, about the Tnuat Bogrim (Movement graduates who have made Aliyah). They learned about the different kvutzot (communes) they have formed in Haifa and the type of educational work they do in and around the city. For dinner they had the chance to purchase their own meal in a neighborhood at the top of the Carmel mountain.<br>
<br>
Back at the hostel in Acco, they had an evening activity run by Australian Shaties (Workshop age Austrailian Habonim members living in Acco) which was was all kef (fun). They played Australia's got talent and split into groups to put on different musical acts. At the end of the night, one group was crowned Australia's most talented!<br>

There, they also met with new Habonim United Kingdom peers. The Habo UK group is on their Israel trip as well which they call "Tour."<br>
<br>
After saying their initial hellos they were split into mixed groups that included members of the British movement and started their seminar playing "outdoor training games." These included a variety of different activities using ropes and other materials as props in the games that forced them to use teamwork.

Lunch was a special one. A food provider brought portable pizza ovens for the group to the park and cooked a few hundred personal pizzas to feed everyone. Not to worry, gluten and dairy free options were available.<br>
<br>
After lunch they left the park for the hostel where they are now in Acco's old city (one of my favorite places in all of Israel). The hostel was built only in the last few years and has a <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x151dc850a3332989:0xfd9085d7fb5f60bb!2m5!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://plus.google.com/102998230642312033521/photos?hl%3Den%26socfid%3Dweb:lu:kp:placepageimage%26socpid%3D1!5syouth+hostel+old+city+of+acco+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ei=XXvVU_XRNpWgyASWloGoDw&ved=0CMQBEKIqMAs">view from its roof like none other.</a> Here, they had their first peulah together. It focused on what it means to be youth movement. The peulah was a round robin with stations. The first focused on why we play games in Habonim.They spoke about how trigger games (short fun games before peulot begin) are not only silly and fun, but serve a purpose and help shape the dynamic we aim to create during Habonim activities. The second station was a discussion of the goal of the youth movement to create a "children's society." And how important it is that everyone's voice is heard. In addition, they spoke about how within the youth movement, youth take on responsibilities and have lots of autonomy. The third station addressed the idea of rebellion and how creating an alternative culture within the youth movement is a form of rebellion. They also spoke about Habonim's history of rebellion politically, on a societal level. And the last station was about the madrich (counselor) chanich (participant) relationship and the type of relationship we aim to create between the two by using dialogue and encouraging respect.<br><br>
In the afternoon there was also a round of chugim (interest groups). There was a chug about language differences and different slang between the UK and HDNA. One was on high school experiences and how their experiences differ across the two cultures in North America and the UK. Another was making arts and crafts, there was one on story telling, Rikkud (Israeli folk dancing), and also improve games.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Dlm9aSiNka5MU2BRszIvVJiaA9tUFtcMJ0hBzqfudjROseYIWfc5jG6pIMxnmIt-vlpUvUQS2stsGLi4XQcQjBFAPeA_zQtIyv8gG01gmUZcIy_YUIbXDjwkF5O5ilGQ3ejUB0Aip7bP/s640/blogger-image-283928241.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Dlm9aSiNka5MU2BRszIvVJiaA9tUFtcMJ0hBzqfudjROseYIWfc5jG6pIMxnmIt-vlpUvUQS2stsGLi4XQcQjBFAPeA_zQtIyv8gG01gmUZcIy_YUIbXDjwkF5O5ilGQ3ejUB0Aip7bP/s640/blogger-image-283928241.jpg"></a></div><div>Arts and crafts. </div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWQJzjhb6gnZwu35XKsZ9MK6DHlmbFzG8I2PKIG_tNUPICJhkNowzuVF5xKBupTncY-6WCVxU6uh_660fsvMgmoNHJYQ2WVRNGiBty3CkzsaARYWuPpQJ0UVlorxxrEDzlkmCzlPutpxn/s640/blogger-image--1817959116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWQJzjhb6gnZwu35XKsZ9MK6DHlmbFzG8I2PKIG_tNUPICJhkNowzuVF5xKBupTncY-6WCVxU6uh_660fsvMgmoNHJYQ2WVRNGiBty3CkzsaARYWuPpQJ0UVlorxxrEDzlkmCzlPutpxn/s640/blogger-image--1817959116.jpg"></a></div>Dancing Rikkud<br>

After dinner they had what the madrichim called "cafe Habonim." They discussed their relationship individually with Habonim and the differences between the two movements in the UK and in North America while eating treats in small groups.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow is Yom Habonim where they will meet with members of Habonim from all over the world on a beach called Tzemach, on the Kinneret near Kibbutz Deganya.</div>Madison Slobin - HDNA Tochniothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02578190597385829015noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620289176783937176.post-23847255607417458232014-07-26T20:47:00.000-07:002014-07-26T21:13:29.579-07:007/26 Shabbat and Visitors DayAll three buses had relaxing and fun days at their respective hostels. Each bus had chugim (interest groups) planned by their madrichim for them to attend. Chanichim (participants) were given a choice as to which one they wanted to attend. Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts), the history of Habonim and a massage workshop to name a few were featured in the list of options across the three buses.<br />

Bus 1 got a kick out of planning and celebrating an elaborate mock wedding for two of their madrichim (counselors) where they planned and threw a party for them. Each member of the bus had a different character/role to play as different family members and friends of the "couple." This was all pretend of course, but they had a lot of fun with it.<br />
<br />
Bus 2 enjoyed some pool time after special Shabbat chugim and bus 3 had an outdoor music session overlooking a beautiful view of the Kinneret from the Poriya hostel.<br />

For those on MBI who either visited with friends and family at their hostel or left for the day with them, all were back with the group by 5:00 pm. After they arrived back they ate all together and did Havdalah together.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow the group leaves for Acco where they will be staying in the old city along with members of Habonim Dror United Kingdom who are their age. They will have a day long mifgash (meeting) seminar that will lead into Yom Habonim which is scheduled for Monday.<br />
<br />
Itinerary Change: On Monday, Yom Habonim has been moved for security reasons from the coast of the Mediterranean to a beach on the Kinneret close to where they are staying tonight.<br />

Today was a restful, but productive day for the group. In the morning, while the whole group was on Kibbutz Deganya Bet they went swimming. Following swimming they split into their buses and left for their hostels where they will spend the next day. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At their hostels they had time to plan out a special Shabbat for themselves. They were given a lot of autonomy over how it would look. They planned their Kabbalat Shabbat, Havdallah and other activities they wanted to do together including Rikud (Israeli Dancing). After this asepha (meeting) they had another asepha by bus where they decided which article of clothing they would like to design an illustration on to take home at the end of MBI. Bringing this piece of clothing has been an MBI tradition for years. They were really excited to take part.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">Then in smaller groups than normal, because of the bus split, they had mishpachot where they spent time with only the members of their machaneh that are on their bus. After Kabbalat Shabbat and dinner they had rikud.</span><br>

Founded in 1909, the Kinneret courtyard was part of the first agricultural training farm in the history of modern Israel, where young people would come through in small groups and learn to work the land, before leaving to somewhere else for permanent settlement. The MBIers heard stories of young people from Eastern Europe who came to Palestine and the hardships, dilemmas, failures and numerous successes that they endured in their time at the Chatzer.</span></span></span><br>

Here, the MBIers could hear the stories of some of the most famous personalities in the history of Israel and Zionism, ranging from the early Socialist Zionist thinkers and writers Moses Hess and Dov Ber Borachov, to the early Chalutzim (pioneers) Berl Katznelson and Rachel, the poetess to some of the integral figures of the modern</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">state, such as Israeli song-writer Naomi Shemer.</span></span></span><br>

As stated in my previous email, all of the buses will be staying within a short drive of one another. Bus 1 will stay of Kibbutz Deganya Bet, Bus 2 will head over to Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan, and bus 3 will be staying at the Poriyah Youth Hostel and Guest House.</span></span><br>

They found themselves this morning on the side of the Kinneret (sea of galilee) with the task of building a raft that would sail accross the immense lake that supplies most of Israel with drinking water. The raft that they are currently in the process of constructing is made from three main supplies, rope, bamboo and large metal barrels that serve as flotation devices. All morning, afternoon and evening they worked on these rafts in their kvutzot with instruction from their madrichim (counselors) and staff from HeHalutz. HeHalutz, the organization who runs rafsodia, runs many rounds of the raft building each summer for many different organizations. They taught our chanichim how to tie the special knots needed to set together a raft at this size. Tomorrow, when the structure of the raft is complete, they will decorate a sail with a decoration that represents their kvutzah and see which of them is the first to reach the other side. Rafsodia is a special component of the MBI journey. While touring can be a very passive experience, rafsodia is anything but. During rafsodia, they are given the chance to create something great together, to transport themselves to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. They will accomplish a lot together over the course of the two days. <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZDuOS6g57r68Dr4jaatgA4cTtA5BCv9Yqy3aUtQXe2QiQUddlVIuye_EYWjNb8ucRMEmi5I-0EhOIB_KGbIwWTKKpMFOJULCNF3D1fRLJJ3JJr2p-SVxO-Llg9MQz6LU8UeGO7xV4BpO/s640/blogger-image--1223637568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span size="3">We are aware that the U.S. State Department released a warning yesterday for any tourists traveling to Israel. Today, select airlines canceled flights out of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. At this time El Al, the airline our group will fly home on, has issued no warnings and </span>canceled<span size="3"> no flights out of Israel. We are surveying the situation carefully and will continue to do so, but as of now, we will not be shortening the MBI program. Today the group is building rafts on the western side of the Kinneret and the location has been approved as secure by the Cheder Matzav (the Situation Room). As always you are welcome to contact us, but please feel assured that the safety and security of the group is always our top priority. </span></span></div>

<span size="3" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Sunday the group was originally scheduled to stay at Kfar Hayarok near Tel Aviv. Working with the program provider, the Israel Experience, we have moved their visit with Habonim UK to a youth hostel in Acco. Yom Habonim, scheduled for next Monday, is still in question whether it will happen or not. I will keep you updated if there are any further itinerary changes as they come. </span></div>

The youth hostel on Kibbutz Deganya Bet has informed us that they will not be able to accommodate all of the chanichim over the free weekend. We have split the group by bus. Each bus will be staying at a separate hostel within a 15 minute ride of each other. Bus 1 will be staying on Deganya Bet, Bus 2 will be staying over Shabbat at the Poriyah Youth Hostel, and bus 3 will be staying at the hostel on Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001GfgLHhjGmhegoLgbgVU9MtfvjBvBo6Ds-qQlsThCFXy2eSWLue7DbLM4yIQ-SekVi7Vi9QqFN2B1352h9sG7aa9K9ioN-pEc7CzjnXYQGQK9ZEnD977rLAgHyHD1T-FcfmxXe_oc3zgxhGXUjvKnBr0-sZHik00s-Cuz9UazkHQIQEXq7K2kP6cF2TWHWPRIEWg0QXnOWV4=" linktype="document" ref="ACCOUNT.DOCUMENT.181" shape="rect" style="color: black;" target="_blank" track="on">Click here</a> to access the bus list if you do not know which bus they are on. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
After receiving many requests from family and friends to visit with chanichim for a longer period of time and to take them from these three Kibbutzim, we have decided to adjust our original decision about Saturday the 26th. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
We will allow for families and friends who were planning on visiting the Kibbutz to pick chanichim up and leave for the day if they wish as long as the following requirements are met:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="background-color: white;">
<li style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">They must be picked up after 10:00 am and brought back no later than 5:00 pm.</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">They will visit with the participant only within the Galilee (no visiting Haifa or anywhere south of Haifa)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', ' Times', ' serif';">The last requirement that we would like you to be aware of is that they will be asked to sign a form stating that the visitors who are picking up participants for the day are liable for the safety of the participants for that day and that they are planning to abide by the rules we have laid out for travel and return time. If your child is planning to leave one of the three Kibbutzim on Saturday we also will need to receive a <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001GfgLHhjGmhegoLgbgVU9MtfvjBvBo6Ds-qQlsThCFXy2eSWLue7DbLM4yIQ-SekVi7Vi9QqFN2B1352h9sG7aa9K9ioN-pEc7CzjnXYQGQK9ZEnD977rLAgHyHD1T-FcfmxXe_oc3zgxhGXUjvKnBr0-sZHik00sFFMrnEX3QfyJvyaIiAVBQxIHswqyi12D_qW8DRjU9Sw=" linktype="document" ref="ACCOUNT.DOCUMENT.182" shape="rect" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" track="on">Free Weekend Form </a>.</span></div>

The grouped learned together during their visit there about Allon, a commander of the Palmach, a pre-state militia. The Palmach ran similar to a youth movement. When someone graduated from the youth movement branch of the Palmach, they went to live on kibbutz and trained there. In the Palmach there were no ranks or officers, the army was built on equality values similar to Habonim Dror. The difference was obviously their emphasis on self-defense. Igal Allon was a major figure in the Palmach who was one of the founders of Kibbutz Ginnosar. He was the one who brought Yitzhak Rabin into the Palmach. After joining the IDF after the state was formed, he fought in the 1948 war. He eventually went into Politics and served as a leader in the Knesset for 25 years. Despite the fame of being a "military man," he always pushed for labor party issues, education for all and worked for a just and peaceful society during his time in Israeli politics. This portion of the day at the museum was focused on looking at the 1948 war through the lens of the Palmach.<br />

After visiting the museum they then headed to Mitzpe gadot, an observation point overlooking Syria and Lebanon. Here they learned about the 6 day war. Israel an even smaller country at the time tripled in size after the war. MBI learned how the ground they were standing on was actually a Syrian base before the war. Then, they transitioned to learning about the Yom Kippur war when they traveled to Har Ben Tal, another lookout over the Syrian border. Here they learned about The Yom Kippur War, a different story, Israel was surprised during this war by the attack from their neighboring countries and they paid a big price as a result. The group used the wars as a starting place to discuss the changes that Israeli society has gone through as a result of these conflicts.<br />
