The Ariel youth movement announced the name of its new tribe, joining the senior ranks, as 'Ivri' (Hebrew) following the conclusion of its organizational month. The name was chosen by a special committee after considering various suggestions, including those from movement members and leadership.

The name 'Ivri' was inspired by the biblical figure Abraham, symbolizing a quest for truth and a thirst for Torah and Jewish identity. The movement's Secretary-General, Elchanan Wolf, addressed the new tribe members, explaining that the name reflects a deep yearning within the Jewish people for spiritual connection and divine words, drawing a parallel to Abraham's search for God and his efforts to connect people to their Creator.

Wolf emphasized that the name 'Ivri' signifies a movement of seeking truth, even when the world seems distant, and the belief that the Jewish people are thirsty for spiritual guidance. He called upon the new tribe members to follow in the path of Abraham the Ivri, to seek God in their lives, awaken this thirst, and spread this message throughout the land.

The organizational Shabbat for the movement's boys' branches took place recently, with a similar event for the girls' branches scheduled in two weeks. The announcement was made as the movement looks forward to the rebuilding of Ariel.
