The ‘Bnei HaMoshavim’ movement in conjunction with the Sapir have created the ‘Circles of Identity’ project – activities and events that introduce youth members of the movement to the circles of identity that surround them – communal, Jewish, Zionist.
Objectives:
- Strengthening the ‘Bnei Moshavim’ members’ connection with the circles of identity that surround them – the community, Israeli society, Jewish identity, and the Jewish People.
- Creating an organizational platform for each member to meet with their Jewish identity, their family and community tradition.
As part of this project, content is being developed for:
- Educational activity in the moshavim as part of educational program:
- Jewish holidays, while developing tools and methods to commemorate the holiday in the community with all age groups
- A Bar/Bat Mitzva program
- ‘My People and Me’ – content around the aliya stories and heritage of the different ethnic communities that comprise Israeli society.
- Events and external activities (trips, seminars etc.)
- A comprehensive educational and mentoring framework for leaders of activities – “gar’inim”, adult youth guides and coordinators
