Ariel Youth Movement Names New Tribe 'Ivri' After Organizational Month

The Ariel Youth Movement announced the name of its new tribe, "Ivri" (Hebrew), following its organizational month. The selection process involved input from movement members, counselors, and leadership teams, with a special committee ultimately choosing the name. The "Ivri" tribe members will join the movement's senior cohort. The organizational month, which included a special Shabbat for the boys' branches, will conclude with a similar event for the girls' branches in two weeks.

Elchanan Wolf, the Secretary-General of the Ariel Youth Movement, congratulated the new tribe, explaining that the name "Ivri" was chosen to reflect the Jewish people's thirst for Torah and Jewish identity. He drew a parallel to Abraham the Hebrew, who he said was the first to seek God and connect with the souls of his generation. Wolf stated that the name symbolizes the pursuit of truth even when the world seems to be on the opposite side, and the belief in the Jewish people's desire to hear God's word. He urged the "Ivri" tribe members to follow Abraham's path, seek God in their lives, awaken this thirst, and spread God's name throughout the land.
