Hineni (Australian youth movement)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hineni Youth and Welfare or Hineni is a Modern Orthodox, politically non-partisan, Zionist youth movement. Founded in Sydney, Australia, with centres currently in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

Hineni runs weekly educational meetings for Jewish youth from years 3-12, as well as bi-annual camps, Israel year programs, seminars and other communal events.

In Sydney, Hineni is the official youth movement of The Central Synagogue. In Melbourne, Hineni is affiliated with and supported by St Kilda Synagogue, where weekly meetings take place. In Canberra, Hineni is based at the Canberra Jewish Community Centre.

Hineni provides informal Jewish education to complement that received in school and the home. As an outreach movement, Hineni welcomes participants of all Jewish backgrounds.

Hineni is a place where learning and fun are mutually-inclusive. It provides a relaxed environment, where chanichim (program participants) forge a solid Jewish identity in place of an Australian one.
