It has been exciting time in the north. We have had over 250 participants with our school activities. It seems like everyone has got the Habo fever.

News of the Yom’s

Yom Hazikaron

Yom Hazikaron ceremony was held at Shrubberies Shul Hall with Tsofim from Israel, Habo turned up with 15 members. It was a meaningful ceremony with the Manchester Jewish Community.

Yom Hashoah at King David

Yom Hashoah at King David with 100 pupils learning about the Holocaust and Drors involvement in the Shoah and huge part they played in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

Yom Israel Day(s)

Yom Israel Day(s) at Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School and King David Junior School was a great day for both the pupils and the Madrichim.

Pupils learnt in Habo’s usual creative way about different places in Israel. They learnt about the water shortages in the Kinneret as well as apple bobbing at the Dead Sea and even designed items to be sold in the Tel Aviv Shuk and when they realised shekels were worth five times more than the pound were all running around celebrating.

Batya Landes Head of Jewish Studies at King David: “On behalf of the KS2 pupils, I would like to thank you and the madrichim for running the Yom Yerushalayim Day in our school. Your staff were lovely with the children and we appreciate all the hard work and effort”

Poland Journey with March of the Living
It was a truly meaningful experience for 20 participants who went on the journey to uncover the roots of the Zionist revolution and the youth movements’ rebellion.

Rounders Fundraiser Event

We have also held a rounder’s tournament to raise money for bursaries on camp, tour and Shnat, to ensure that Habonim continues to provide for all who wish to take part in our activities. Not only did this event raise money for a great cause, but it was also a great day out which saw the Maccabi Ladies Team win the tournament.
