Olim on Shlichut





                        Nathan Brown, a boger of HDOZ, made Aliyah
                        from Sydney in 2012. Today, he’s writing to us
                        from Vancouver, Canada, where he is spending
                        two years as part of the shlichut delegation to
                        HDNA.

                 The 2019-2021 HDNA Mishlachat is composed of four
                 Habonim Dror bogrimot - Carmi Tint, Leah Silverberg
                 and Sarah Fisher (HDNA) and myself (HDOZ), along
                 with Shmulik Levy (who grew up in  HaNoar HaOved
                 veHaLomed). Leah is the shlicha for HDNA’s Mazkirut
                 Artzit, and Shmulik the Shaliach to Camp Galil. Carmi is
                 a Shlicha for Ken New York. Sarah and I are in
                 Vancouver - Sarah is the Shlicha to Camp Miriam, and I
                 have the honour of being the גוז - ןב - the ‘partner’. We all

                 made the decision to go on shlichut in March of 2019,
                 arrived to North America in August 2019 and we are
                 due to be replaced in September 2021.

                 One unusual characteristic of this mishlachat is the
                 number of Habonim Dror graduates in it- four out of
                 the five shlichim were raised in Habonim Dror. We  all
                 went on Workshop in the mid-
                 2000’s, and have been
                 madrichim and Roshim in the
                 youth movement. Our time as
                 madrichimot spanned the globe,
