The Shomeric Campaign Is Ongoing – Help Secure Hashomer Hatzair Activities

Our campaign runs until the end of February. We are asking you, as our community, to take an active role in securing the future of Hashomer Hatzair — not only right now, but also for future generations.

You can support us by:

• Making a donation
• Becoming a supporting member
• Encouraging people in your network to contribute

Without your active support, we will not be able to manage the rising costs and ensure long-term stability.

You can find further background information in our previous community email here.

Purim-Messiba (party) on 27.02. – instead of Purim-Sleepover

Due to the temporary absence of part of our team, and out of responsibility for the well-being of our Chanichimot, we have decided to cancel the Purim Sleepover.

Instead, we warmly invite you to a Purim Messiba:

📅 Friday, 27.02
🕔 17:00
📍 At the Ken (10243 Berlin)

Families are welcome!

Please bring a small snack to share for our communal buffet.

For more information, please contact the Madrichimot.
Registration link:
https://cloud.hashomer-hatzair.de/apps/polls/s/rRgVOFU5

Chanichimot who registered for the sleepover will receive a separate email regarding reimbursement.

SAVE THE DATE: Sommermachane 11–20 July 2026

Our biggest and highlight activity of the year is coming up!

The official invitation will be published soon, including a special reduced price for members of Hashomer Hatzair Ken Berlin.

This year, we need your active support more than ever, dear parents:

• Camp setup and dismantling (Auf- und Abbau)
• Kitchen team
• Additional logistical support

A volunteer call will be published very soon. You are welcome to contact us already at:
Sommermachane {@] hashomer-hatzair [.] de

The official invitation for Chanichimot will be published on our website:
https://www.hashomer-hatzair.de/sommermachane/
and on our social media channels. Stay tuned!
