Tenth graders from the Jacob Sapirstein “Ariel” High School for Boys in Ramot, Jerusalem, went on a four-day journey in cooperation with the “New Guard” movement. 

The boys hiked, learned about the importance and challenges of agriculture from a veteran farmer who was once David Ben Gurion’s aide, and helped farmers in processing olives and restoring grazed lands. They also played social games and talked about life and about themselves, about their relationship to the country and the people, and about the need to take responsibility and better the world.
