Last night (Monday), Maccabi faced Hapoel Petah Tikva at Bloomfield Stadium for a league match, as during the match, the club hosted the “B’Kef Hachshara” group from Maccabi World Union.
The group is made up of young adults from San Diego, USA, and from Mexico, who come to Israel for around a year through Maccabi World Union, with the goal of getting to know the country and experiencing it in the most authentic Israeli way. As part of the program, they participate in various experiences such as a two-month period of military service, living in a kibbutz, as well as time spent in urban settings.
During their stay, they take part in educational and experiential activities and volunteer in a variety of settings, all with the aim of gaining a deep understanding of Israeli culture and society. The purpose of the program is to connect young Jews from the Diaspora to the Land of Israel and to create a generation of ambassadors who will represent Israel in the communities and countries from which they came. Some participants even choose to remain in Israel and make Aliyah.
