Hanoar Haleumi – Beitar youth movement was founded in 1934 by the Histadrut Haleumit (National Labor Federation) as a Zionist social youth movement that educates towards identification with the values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
In its first years, Hanoar Haleumi – Beitar operated as part of the Histadrut Haleumit Youth Division, but over the years grew and became an independent youth movement. Within its framework its graduates established garinei Nahal (garin refers to a broad group comprised of several small groups and Nahal refers to a unique track that includes IDF service in the Nahal Brigade as a group after the Shnat Sherut - Service Year, ) and heachzuyot (pre-kibbutz army settlements) which eventually became the settlements Ganim, Kadim and Homesh.
Hanoar
Haleumi – Beitar educates its members according to the social doctrine of Ze’ev
Jabotinsky, whose main values are: contribution to the community, love of
country, developing young leadership, significant IDF army service and the five
components: food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care. Jabotinsky’s
firm belief in the power of youth to heal the ailments of society underlies the
establishment of the youth movement. Hatikva (the hope) and the Israeli
flag were chosen as the youth movement’s anthem and flag. Its song is ´Shir
Hadegel´ (Song of the Flag) and its motto
“Had Nes” (one flag, a singular focus)
Dozens of years of educational activity have positioned this youth movement as a quality and leading commando unit – the spearhead of Israeli society. Hanoar Haleumi – Beitar youth movement has tens of activity centers spread across the width and length of the country, which continue a quality and family tradition. The thousands of youth movement members, as well as the training staff, coordinators and graduates, comprise one big quality family. Hanoar Haleumi – Beitar offers a wide range of activities, community projects, field trips, training courses, camps and social initiatives conducted according to an orderly annual doctrine and plan and in line with current needs. In 2012 the Hanoar Haleumi youth movement and the Beitar Youth movement were unified into one youth movement.
