Hagshama - Article III: The Relevance of Zionism Today
The World Zionist Congress opens on the seventeenth of June, 2002… and there is no way of predicting what the situation will be in either the Middle East or in the World. What is clear, is that if the Congress does not involve serious ideological debate on relevant Zionism, those who claim the World Zionist Organisation and our National Zionist Institutions are obselete will gain the upper hand by default. There is a vital need to re-examine our expressions of Zionism and ensure that our ongoing Zionist goals, actions and ideals are meeting the demands and challenges of the 21st Century. A vital need to rejuvenate and revitalize the Zionist Movement. [Full article...]By: Haim Hayet

Redefining the Israel-Diaspora connection: The Tnuot and the Shaliach
The old terms no longer apply to the increasingly complex Israel-Diaspora relationship; classic Zionism and classic Diaspora community organization are undergoing far-reaching changes. Their impact is evident in the day-to-day interchange, sometimes encouraging, sometimes downright embittered, that exists between them. Marky Levy is a long-time Israel Diaspora worker with ample experience and knowledge of the mutual needs and recriminations of both sides. He takes a perceptive stab at ways in which these changes can be channeled positively. [Full article...]By: Marky Levy

Hagshama and the New Millenium - Article II: Youth Is Not a Question of Age
In this edition, the Head of the Hagshama Department of the World Zionist Organization, outlines the action plan which is being implemented together with university-age Jewish youth throughout the globe. For Hayet, being biologically young will not make the grade... one must be young in thought and deed as well. The youth representation proposed in keeping with affirmative action at the next Zionist Congress is far from assured, and we are going to have to fight for it. Let’s take a look at what the next three-quarters of 2001 have to offer here at Hagshama... [Full article...]By: Haim Hayet

Conversing with Haim Hayet, Director of the Hagshama Department, regarding the last Vaad Hapoel - Article I: Towards a Young Zionist Revolution
The last Vaad Hapoel, for those not directly involved in the theme, may have appeared highly irrelevant. But the fact of the matter is, that a number of resolutions taken may spread the hope, however faint, that the Zionist movement need not die of hunger or old age. This is particularly true regarding the motion passed which stated that 25% of all delegates to the next Zionist Congress be under the age of 30! [Full article...]By: Marcelo Kisilevski Haim Hayet

The basis of the Betarian viewpoint consists of one idea: the Jewish State: The Ideology of Betar
The duty and aim of Betar is very simple though difficult: to create that type of Jew which the nation needs in order to better and quicker build a Jewish state. In other words, to create a "normal", "healthy" citizen for the Jewish nation. The greatest difficulty is encountered because, as a nation, the Jews today are neither "normal" nor "healthy" and life in diaspora affects the intelligent upbringing of normal and healthy citizens.
