is your forum. So, let’s have your reflections and
views, anecdotes and memories, however
opinionated, the forum is yours.
The “Master Builder” series features Alec Collins
and the late Frank Beth, both worthy bearers of
the mantle. Wellesley Aaron used the phrase
"Master Builder" in laying out the aims of
Habonim. A Master Builder is expected to fulfil
three criteria:
1. To have made a non-routine contribution to
Israel in any aspect
2. To have been a recognized member of the

Movement, having achieved hagshama atzmit
3. To be still living in Israel

Let us know your candidates.
