Irish Habonim - A Short History (pt.1)

This article is reprinted from the April 1998 edition of Kol Vatikei Habonim. It was written by Asher Benson (z"l").

As a chaver of the Dublin Peleg in the period 1948-51, I am taking the liberty of filling in some of the blanks in Asher's story. It will be in a future posting to follow shortly.

In particular I want to recall the names of those very special people who are not mentioned. They were the madrichim and shichvat vatikim who were the heart of Habonim in those exciting days when Israel was reborn. On a personal note they helped lay the foundation for my own personal "Ahavat Zion"

Comments from other Irish Chevra would be most welcome

Simchat Torah in Dublin

Does anyone remember the time a group of us led by Mike Abels (z"l) danced with a Sefer Torah somewhere around the entrance to Trinity College? 

If you have more information add it here?

Dublin Habonim - June 1950

We went to camp on a Friday June 23 and returned on Sunday to find that the Korean War had started.
