About Magshimey Herut

Many people who influence the course of history begin their careers of service in youth groups, protest movements and student organizations. Many among today’s Jewish young adults will be assuming positions of responsibility in the future.

Magshimey Herut was founded in 5759 (1999) in order to answer the need for an activist hagshama movement of young adults dedicated to personal implementation of their commitment to social justice, the unity of the Hebrew nation and integrity of the Land of Israel.

Magshimey Herut attracts idealistic volunteers throughout Israel and the Diaspora who are willing to give of themselves and their time, identify with the objectives of the movement and wish to make a difference concerning the future of Israel. Our programs throughout the world aim to prepare young adults, idealistically and tactically, for responsible leadership in the life of our nation.
