The Ariel youth movement concluded its intense organizational month with celebratory events across its boys' branches nationwide this past Saturday night. The highlight of the events was the announcement of the new tribe name: "Ivri" (Hebrew). As is tradition, the closing ceremonies featured performances by the trainees, counselors, and parents.
In Beit Shemesh, the Ariel branch celebrated the inauguration of its renovated premises after extensive refurbishment. The event was attended by the community's Chief Rabbi Avraham Nachshon, Mayor Yehuda Butbul, Youth Department Director Yachikam Gamaliel, and other community leaders, alongside counselors, trainees, and parents. A particularly moving moment occurred with the arrival of Uzi and Sigal, parents of the branch's co-founder Efi z"l, accompanied by their grandson Yakir, who has recently joined the movement. Mayor Butbul also announced that the girls' branch in Ramat Beit Shemesh will begin construction on a new building within ten months.
In Jerusalem's Homaot Shmuel neighborhood, Minister of Settlement and National Missions Orit Struk attended the Ariel branch's closing event. She congratulated the trainees and expressed her support for their future leadership. Struk also mentioned her intention to visit a tent protest outside the Knesset, established by IDF fighter Elisha Medan, calling for national unity and a unity government.
Meanwhile, in Rehovot, approximately 220 trainees at the Ariel branch marked the end of the organizational month with a festive gathering attended by Mayor Matan Dill. The branch, currently operating out of a shelter, faces a need for a larger, more suitable facility due to its growing number of participants. Mayor Dill pledged to help find a new location, a promise that echoes similar statements made last year without concrete action yet.
The Ariel movement noted that while the boys' branches concluded their events, the girls' branches will hold their organizational month finale in two weeks.
