The Betar Movement is a world Zionist youth movement founded 85 years ago by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Betar members played important roles in the creation of Israel. Today the Betar Movement is active in many world branches and is involved in Jewish and Zionist activism.
The Betar World Leadership is the central co-ordinating body which connects the many Betar branches throughout the world.
The World Leadership in the current period is striving, via its shlichim, and via the local leaderships throughout the Gola, to continue the united and determined campaign to maintain Jerusalem as the united and eternal capital of the Jewish People. Within the framework of this campaign, the World Leadership is organizing a wide variety of activities.
Aliyah to Israel represents the fulfilment of the Betar idea in the Gola, and each year the movement absorbs hundreds of Olim, who go on to join the IDF and continue their activities in the movement in Israel.
Dozens of Betarim visited Tel Chai on Yud Alef Be'Adar. Betar held the annual commemoration with the participation of Gideon Saar, the Minister of Education and MK Danny Danon.
Even epic flooding could not stop Betarim from three states across Australia coming together to take part in Betars Annual Federal Machaneh.
Stay tuned for more on this Machaneh. Pictures and updates to follow soon...
Following Machaneh, the annual Australian Betar Conference took place. This three day conference is the forum for the leadership to outline the movement’s goals and objectives for the year ahead. Lively and lengthy discussions went on until early hours of the morning, various proposals were deliberated and ideas were voted on.
Well done to the outgoing Leadership. We wish the incoming Betar Leadership the best of luck in their new positions.
Recently, Betar South Africa ran an ideology and leadership training seminar for its bogrim on the beautiful Uvongo campsite. The event was attended by Betarim from South Africa, Australia and Israel and focused planning for the coming year.

7 Betarim of Betar Uruguay made Alyiah to Israel! In 2008 the seven came to Israel as Shnatim at Shnat Betar. They are going to stay at Ulpan in Kibutz Maagan Michael and then join the IDF and academy. Betar sends warmest wishes to the Betarim who left everything behind and made Alyiah out of pure Zionism and love of Israel.
