Name: Lucy Travis

Tafkid in the movement: Rakezet
hadracha and shlav hachshara bet for
HDUK

Years in the movement: 2001-13

Favourite socialist/zionist: A D
Gordon, because even though he was
surrounded by young and fit chalutzim
and himself was relatively old and weak when he came to Palestine
to work the land, he still gave it his all and rose to the physical
demand. Kol hakavod to him.

Funniest movement moment: Classic British story from tiyul, but
when we were woken up by cows at the foot of our tent on ofarim.
After doing some shouting, we got up and ran as far away as we
could - with no shoes on of course.

Current ringtone: Boring iPhone standard ringtone.

Food you would rather not eat: Coriander (devil herb)

What are you reading right now: Yehuda Amichai love poems

What music are you listening to right now: I’m always listening to
old classic campfire songs. The nostalgia will never die!

Vision for the new Kibbutz Movement: Reinvigoration of old
institutions such as shlichut, understanding that this is a core
part of our mission in the world and especially in this day and age,
to bridge the relations between Israel and the Diaspora.
