Project “Connections”
Like a tree, a nation needs roots if it is to produce fruit!
THE GREAT DIVIDE
One of the greatest problems challenging us today is the ongoing erosion of both Jewish and Zionist values among Israeli youth. The cracks in Israeli society threaten to drive many of our most talented youth overseas, undermine the motivation of our armed forces and de-stabilize the basic truths that unite us as a nation.
THE HEBRON CONNECTION
The word Hebron in Hebrew means “connection”. Hebron is the way we can connect our youth to their roots. We have found that the Jewish concept – “Emet M’Eretz Titzmach” – “Truth Springs from the Ground” is more valid today than ever before. Boring formal lectures and textbooks cannot touch the hearts of our young people. They must experience our ancient history with their own eyes and see firsthand the application of age old principles to modern times. It is when they walk over the very bedrock of our civilization, reach out and touch the very roots of our people and drink directly from the wellsprings of our tradition – only then can they begin to appreciate their unique heritage.
CONNECTIONS? - HEBRON & THE HEBREWS, JEWS & JUDEA!
We must make an enormous effort to reach out to the non-observant population that is unconnected to Jewish tradition and to bond them with the historic heritage of the Jewish People in Hebron, Gush Etzion and the Judean Hills. We must extend Noam Arnon’s expertise with the IDF and Simcha Hochbaum’s great success with English speaking groups to all parts of Israeli society.
THIS IS YOUR CONNECTION!
We need your help now to increase and deepen the connection with the non-observant public. We must focus on younger, secular students from high schools and pre-military programs. If we bring hundreds of thousands of youth to Hebron in the coming years – together, we can change the face of Israeli society! For every $1000 donation you can bring an entire busload of unaffiliated youth to Hebron for a life-changing experience they will never forget!
