Photograph of 16 members of the girls group of Histadrur Hashomer Hazair Kibbutzim Dror, including two male instructors in the front row. A young woman in the back row is holding up a flag, emblematic of the movement that this organisation aims to enact. The Histadrur was originally formed as a trade union for solidarity and organisation of Jewish economic activity amongst Jewish workers. The founding principles are socialist and zionist in nature, with a concerted effort to promote the use of Hebrew and Jewish culture, as well as organizing and enacting emigration to Palestine as part of aliyah. The youth division focused on fostering these ideals in young Jews, primarily educating the youth in Jewish culture and Hebrew language, as well as politics and ideologies associated with the aims of the organisation. One of the Zionist-related aims is to promote kibbutzim, which refers to a way of life proposed for sustainable living in the homeland, where agricultural skills and community-centred lifestyle are central, and Jews are prepared to live in a kibbutz (community/group). The organisation similarly facilitated group activities, including sport as well as practical activities that suited the aims and intentions of aliyah and worker solidarity. The young women are in uniform, in line with the ideals of solidarity and unionship of the organisation. The rifle-wielding member in the centre of the front row is an indication of some of the militarization and armed-activism training involved in this organisation, whereby members are trained to rise in unison to fight for the organisational ideals.
