Havatzelet – Education and Culture Institutions of HaShomer HaTzair
|
"Havatzelet"
group was founded in 1967 by HaKibbutz HaArtzi – HaShomer HaTzair, as a branch
for activity, involvement and influence in Israeli society. Havatzelet's goals
are to promote activities in the fields of culture, education, science, sport,
support new artists, assist known artists in exhibitions and projects, provide
scholarships to encourage creation and for higher education, all this and more
with an emphasis on encouraging the younger population and advancing it in
these fields.
The guiding line for the
founders was sensible management of donations and budgets, while maintaining
the height of the fund and improving it, all the while using the fruit it bears
and not the fund itself.
These fruits are used to
support Havatzelet group in educational and cultural activities at Givat
Haviva, in HaShomer HaTzair movement in Israel and abroad, at Moreshet
(Mordechai Anielewicz Memorial) and at Yad Ya'ari (HaShomer HaTzair institute
for research and documentation). Additionally, Havatzelet supports humanitarian
activities at home and abroad, as well as a variety of cultural and spiritual
activities in the various sectors of Israeli society. Looking through this
binder, which details the main activities of Havatzelet group, you will find
that the emphasis in all we do is on spirit and society, on the essence and the
contents and in this the Havatzelet group of cultural and educational
institutes challenges materialism and marks out an independent and value-based
path.
