British Habonim Jewish Movement Enamel Badge 1930

Wellesley Aron - Founder of HabonimHabonim “The builders” was created in 1929 as the brainchild of Wellesley Aron to give Jewish children a strong grounding in Judaism and the importance of Israel as a focus for the Jewish world. Chaverim of Habonim went on to be major contributors to the Labour Zionist movement establishing kibbutzim attracting the likes of Teddy Kollek as a shaliach.One of the main concepts of the movement's ideology is the idea of tikkun olam, a Hebrew phrase that means "repairing the world" which originated in the early rabbinic period of Judaism. The ideology is split under different headings for clarity. They are Hagshama Atzmit (Self-realisation), Socialism/Social Justice, Zionism, Judaism and Chalutziut (Pioneering).
