Seminars Update #2
A lot has happened this past week with both workshop kvutsot having the History of Habonim Dror Hagshama Seminar. Each kvutsa had slightly different itineraries, and between them they visited kibbutzim and kvutsot in Kfar Blum, Kfar Hanassi, Beit Haemek, Tuval, Amiad, Yizrael, Geva, Eshbal, Ravid, Ma'agan, Ein Gev, Migdal Haemek, Hadera, Haifa, Netanya, Rehovot, Beit Shemesh & Jerusalem (phew!). The seminar started at the Kinneret Courtyard, the historic location where the first communal groups started and underwent training approximately 100 years ago. This site is very significant - as a result of cooperatives at the courtyard, many public institutions were born which were vital in the infrastructure of the British mandate Palestine and beyond (Bank Hapoalim, Hamashbir and Kupat Cholim to name a few...).
At each kibbutz or kvutsa, the workshoppers heard personal stories of trials and tribulations faced by the individual when they were in Habonim Dror, or when they made aliya, and how it relates to their current status today in the choices they have made in their lives; and also, how this relates to the story of Habonim Dror Hagshama throughout history.
The workshoppers finished up Friday afternoon and they have no programming over Saturday in order to relax and regroup before the kaveret preparation seminar starts on Sunday. On Wednesday, Lihi & Itamar's kvutsa will be moving to Carmiel, and Ruth & Amir's kvutsa will be moving to Acco. The postal address for the Carmiel kvutsa is:
[Name]
Habonim Dror
PO Box 5154
Carmiel 21662
ISRAEL
I will post the mailing address for the Acco kvutsa in the next few days, if you have anything you wish to send in the meanwhile, please feel free to send it to the address in Carmiel.
Shabbat Shalom

Seminars Update
Hi everyone!
Today the workshoppers regrouped after their winter break period, the majority of whom spent at least some time in warm and sunny Eilat.
Both of the kvutsot are spending the weekend on Kibbutz, although Itamar and Lihi's are in the north today, watching (or participating)! in an ice-hockey match in Metula. Ruth and Amir's kvutsa are going through an intense kvutsa relationships seminar [which Itamar and Lihi's kvutsa have scheduled in a few weeks]. On Sunday both kvutsot set off on Habo History Seminar, spending a few days based near the Kinneret, and then a few days based near Netanya. This seminar looks at the history of Habonim Dror, by visiting kibbutzim Habonim Dror has established throughout history and speaking with many vatikim (former movement members), hearing about the HD in their day. There is also the opportunity to learn about the crisis in the kibbutz movement, and examine how this has affected HD today. This seminar allows the workshoppers to have a new perspective and see new elements of the movement.
On Sunday 13th, the workshoppers will begin their Kaveret preparation seminar, and on the 16th they will move into Acco and Karmiel, for the Kaveret portion of workshop. The first few days in their Kaveret locations are dedicated to unpacking, setting up their houses, and getting to know their cities. As the tzevet (staff) are all on seminars with the workshoppers for the next few weeks, updates to this blog might be a little less frequent. Please feel free to email Michael Kanter if you have any questions.
