Hashomer Hatzair gears up to celebrate 95th anniversary

The Hashomer Hatzair youth movement is set to mark its 95th anniversary later this month, in a star-studded affair designed to celebrate the major role of the socialist movement in Israeli history.

In preparation for the celebrations, famous singers have signed on to adapt songs popular in the movement since its inception, but rendered anew.

Hashomer Hatzair, which was founded in Europe in 1913, is the oldest Zionist youth movement, and currently has more than 6,000 members in Israel and at least that many abroad.
