You may be a lone soldier,

but you’ll never truly be alone

Five year enveloping experience in the Kibbutzim

Home

A little about us

Welcome to the Hamsa Program,

The program is the fruit of the collaboration between KKL-JNF, The Jewish Agency for Israel and the Kibbutz Movement- Habonim Dror which was founded with the understanding that there is a significance in making a enveloping and continuously supporting program for young lone Olim from the moment of their arrival in Israel, before their military enrollment, throughout their service, and a year after the end of their service as they make their first steps in re-integration in the Israeli civilian society. In Israeli culture the Hamsa (a palm shaped amulet with an eye in the middle) symbolizes the Hand of God and serves as a protective sign which brings happiness, health, luck and good fortune to its owners. In Arabic Hamsa translates to five, thus presenting the unique five year program which encourages you to make Aliyah, experience Israel through its Kibbutzim and will provide you with a variety of unique experiences including: learning Hebrew, practicing and developing skills that will help you in your military service as well as in your daily life, a once a in a lifetime experience that opens many opportunities for you and aids in evolving your maturity and will help to successfully integrate you into the Israeli society as civilians with escort by professionals, the Lone Soldier department from the Kibbutz Movement, foster families and Kibbutz members.
