A day long monthly meeting

There are currently more than 50 Mechinot (Army Preparatory residential programs) and midrashot preparatory courses in the State of Israel. Every year, thousands of trainees with high leadership potential who are qualified to bring about change in Israeli society pass through the preparatory courses. The way to leverage the full leadership potential is to train and educate the instructors –in terms of professions, idealism and values. A broad group of instructors who see the choice to guide in preparatory courses as a joint mission, which is the shaping of Israeli society in the spirit of the values of Judaism, Zionism, humanism, and mutual guarantee, can contribute to the broad and in-depth educational process.
As part of the training, the instructors will undergo conceptual and educational enrichment in the main content realms of Mechinot: Zionism, Judaism, humanism, social solidarity and pioneering. The instructors will learn and experience a variety of educational and pedagogical tools; Group psychology, identification of extreme cases, methodology, work with text, physical fitness as an educational tool, group and active listening. There will also be an in-depth acquaintance with the world of preparatory schools and its goals, as well as the characteristics of today’s youth.
