Boneh Orientation

Boneh is an intensive three-month learning experience located on Kibbutz Ein Dor. The aim of Boneh is to develop the theoretical frameworks and practical skills of the leadership of Habonim Dror, while beginning the immersion in and exploration of Israeli society. Orientation Seminar helps prepare the Workshoppers to approach the next three months from a place of responsibility towards the program and each other, as well as introducing them to the content of the next three months.

In addition to peulot, Tuesday was a siyur (day-trip) day. The chanichim got to know the area a little better with a visit to Mt. Precipice and Nazareth, and a trip to the beach in Haifa. The trip to Nazareth gave them a chance to learn more about the many different groups of people living in the Galilee, and to see the Church of the Annunciation.

 This week was also the start of Sukkot. Building their own Sukkah was their first chance to choose how to celebrate Jewish holidays as a group, and it is actually warm enough here to sleep outside!
