The road for Zionism this year has been a long one, however,
it has been a road full of growth, excitement, and a sprinkle of

good old Balagan (but who doesn’t need a bit of that in their
lives). At this time last year, the Zionism portofolio of the High

School was in the midst of a slight slump, with low
participation rates and few committee members. However,
this has changed. The Zionism portfolio of the school is

growing at a very promising rate due to the rapid increase in
committee participation and the arrival of our new Shaliach

who is the new head of Zionism at Herzlia - Hed Shmueli. As
expected, the precautionary regulations around Covid and the

confusion that came with it made it extremely challenging to
execute large projects, but despite this, the Zionism

committee team was able to execute many exciting projects.
The highlight of these was the Yom Ha’atzmaut celebrations
where every grade got to hear from a speaker, learn about

Israel, participate in exciting activities and of course eat cake.
Like I said, this year has not been an easy one for Zionism at

the school but through the hard work of its members and
leadership, the road towards success and the revitalization of
Israeli gees in the school has been set.
