HeHalutz

HeHalutz

HeHalutz ( _he. החלוץ, lit. "The Pioneer") was an association of Jewish youth whose aim was to train its members to settle in the Land of Israel, which became an umbrella organization of the pioneering Zionist youth movements.

Established by Joseph Trumpeldor in 1918, following World War I the movement spread all over Europe, as well as overseas. At its peak between 1930-1935 the movement counted 100,000 adherents, with 16,000 members in "hakhsharot" (training centers) for the pioneering life in the Land of Israel.
