JEWISH BACKGROUND\u200b<\/h2>\n

Habonim Dror alumni report evidence of childhood Jewish socialization somewhat more intense than that reported by American Jews generally, and on par with that reported by those who attended Jewish camps. About a third of them, in fact, attended or worked in a Jewish camp other than their Habonim \u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

JEWISH ENGAGEMENT\u200b<\/h2>\n

ISRAEL ENGAGEMENT\u200b<\/h2>\n

Habonim Dror characterizes itself as politically progressive, at one point explicitly aligning with the international socialist movement. In terms of political identity and views, its alumni fall disproportionately on the left.<\/p>\n
