  Jabotinsky Institute in Israel
The new youth movement aimed at educating its members with a military and nationalistic spirit and Jabotinsky stood at its head.
The three bodies headed by Jabotinsky, The New Zionist Organization (N.Z.O), the Betar youth movement and the Irgun Tzvai Leumi (I.Z.L) were three extensions of the same movement.
The New Zionist Organization was the political arm which maintained contacts with governments and other political factors; Betar educated the youth of the Diaspora for the liberation and building of Eretz Israel; and the Irgun Tzvai Leumi (I.Z.L) was the military arm which fought against the enemies of the Zionist enterprise.

  Youth Movements
Youth movements provide an opportunity for teenagers to put their feelings and ideals into action; to make an impact on the world around them, by helping others and by building their land; and, not least in importance, to form connections with other young persons around the globe whose ideals match or complement their own.
Most Jewish youth movements were established in Eastern Europe towards the beginning of the twentieth century, motivated by the desire for the national revival of the Jewish people in their homeland.
Youth movements in Palestine began to organize in the 1920s, chiefly under the influence of movement alumni who had come from the Diaspora.

 Kibbutz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of the leftist youth movements the most significant in kibbutz history was to be the Marxist Hashomer Hatzair.
Remembering her youth on a kibbutz by the Sea of Galilee, a woman remembered "Oh, how beautiful it was when we all took part in the discussions, [they were] nights of searching for one another—that is what I call those hallowed nights.
The leftwing, Marxist faction of the kibbutz movement, Kibbutz Artzi, was the last major element in the yishuv to favor a binational state, rather than partition.

 Betar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
He castigates, he teaches, and when from his lips the words are heard "Whither Jewish Youth?" then you fell that before you stands a father with a big heart, a heart that bleeds because of the fate of his children and at the same time does not fail to show the only true way.
He was a member of the Betar and later became a member of the Irgun.
My father was very active in the Irgun at the time and was arrested by the NKVD in an attempt to infiltrate the movement with the hope of helping establish a Communist Jewish State in Palestine.

 daniel rose: the world of the jewish youth movement
Classical Jewish youth movements would find themselves generally towards the right side of the pendulum swing, and it is these movements that I wish to focus on for the remainder of this paper.
BETAR (the initials of Brit Yosef Trumpeldor, Joseph Trumpeldor Alliance), the educational youth movement of the Revisionist Zionist Organization and, subsequently, the Herut movement (and later Likud political party).
More and more they are realizing that youth movements and informal Jewish education is an important way to achieve their goals, providing Jewish youth with a strong sense of affiliation to the Jewish community and world, and that these movements should be celebrated and fully supported in every way.

 Faith in Nathan » Blog Archive » Betar Reunion
Barry Liben, a Betar alum from New York and owner of Tzell Travel, in whose offices I used to meet with the New York Betar alumni group, donated a major part of the museum in the honor of American Betar.
Members of Betar in Europe from 1923 until the end of World War II were prominent activists in the Irgun and Lechi.
Betar was in the forefront of championing both local and global Jewish issues through demonstrations and protests, the likes of which were rarely seen in the Jewish world.

 zeev jabotinsky vladimir zabotinsky
In forming Betar out of a handful of Riga high school students in 1923, Jabotinsky imbued the everyday lives of hundreds of thousands of Jewish children from the ghettos of Eastern Europe with a spirit of malchut Yisrael (Jewish nobility) that their people had not known since the dispersion 1,800 years earlier.
But his concept of chaluziot (youth pioneering) became embodied in Betar's Plugot Hagius (Mobilization Corps) in which every new Betar arrival in Palestine was required to spend two years giving whatever service to the country that was needed of him.
Though, by nature, he was a man of peace, and a liberal in the broad sense of the word, he knew that the strength of arms became the spoken language of the twentieth century.

 Menachem Begin - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
The son of an Orthodox Jew who supported Zionism (the movement for the settlement of Jewish people in Palestine), Begin became involved in Zionist youth organizations at an early age.
At age 16, Begin joined Betar, the youth movement associated with Revisionist Zionists, who advocated more forceful action to establish a Jewish homeland than did mainstream Zionists.
When the Germans invaded Poland in 1939, marking the outbreak of World War II, Begin fled east, but he was arrested by Soviet authorities and confined in concentration camps in Siberia and elsewhere until 1941.

 Menachem Begin - The Sixth Prime Minister
He soon reached important administrative and leadership positions in the Betar movement, and in 1932 became a member of the national administration of Betar in Poland and Head of its Organizational Department.
In 1937 he was appointed the Betar representative in Czechoslovakia, and in 1939 he was elected by Jabotinsky as Head of Betar Poland, an organization which trained approximately 70,000 youths for missions of defense and "illegal" immigration to the land of Israel.
In the autumn of 1945, "The Hebrew Resistance Movement", which united the "Hagana", "Etzel" and "Lehi" in a common struggle against the British, was established, with Begin serving as the Etzel's representative in the movement's headquarters until it disbanded in 1946.

 The Jews of Harbin
To further the activities of the Zionist movement a branch of the Maccabi Jewish youth movement was established in 1921 and it functioned until 1925.
Betar became the dominant movement in Harbin, and Mordechai was forever proud of the fact that many Jewish members of other movements, including communists, joined Betar.
Mordechai was a lifelong activist in the Revisionist Movement, later Herut, serving as a member of Knesset (1955-1961), and heading the Settlement Department of the Herut Movement, through which he founded various villages and towns all over Israel.

 Olmert's Dilemmas/ Palestinian Elections
When Ehud Olmert was a teenage leader of the right-wing Betar youth movement in the 1950s, he would mark May Day by tearing down the red flag that hung over the trade union building in his northern village of Binyamina.
Betar's fantasy map of a once-and-future Israel--incorporating the West Bank and the Kingdom of Jordan--hung on the walls of the clubhouse where Olmert served as "commander," and it was imprinted on the patch of his military-style uniform.
His most important ally will be Kadima's candidate for foreign minister, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who grew up in Betar and comes from a family steeped in Revisionist pathos; engraved on the tombstone of her father--a hero of the pre-state Irgun underground--is the old Revisionist map, including both banks of the Jordan River.

 Jewish Youth Movements and Organizations
The B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO) is a youth led, worldwide organization which provides opportunities for Jewish youth to develop their leadership potential, a positive Jewish identity and commitment to their personal development.
This leads to a tnua (movement) with a potentially high chinuch (education) level as it is members’ different beliefs which lead to an all-round education without any bias in a certain direction - a situation virtually unique in todays youth movements.
The movement's social outlook calls for responsibility towards one's fellow man and woman, a desire for social justice both in the Diaspora and in Israel and a Jewish identity based on the moral values of the Jewish prophetic vision.
