Scope and content
Photograph of 11 boys who were members of Histadrur Hashomer. The young man standing on the far right 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 language and Jewish culture, with a particular focus on promoting aliyah. The youth division of Histadrur 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. The organisation similarly facilitated group activities, including sport as well as practical activities that suited the aims and intentions of aliyah and worker solidarity. In line with the goal of solidarity and unity, the members are in uniforms. [Source: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-histadrut].
