Hadracha Bet Leadership Course

 Hadracha Bet is the second year of our flagship leadership programme, designed to guide participants on their journey from chanichim (participants) to madrichim (leaders).

How does it work?

In the same format as Hadracha Aleph, once enrolled participants will come to weekly sessions that explore a range of themes centred on leadership and FZY. The course also includes a Shabbaton weekend called 'Hadsem,' where participants from both the Aleph (Year 12) and Bet (Year 13) come together for a special FZY shabbat cantered on the theme of leadership.

This year part of the course will include completing a Level 2 CPD-recognised safeguarding course, further enhancing our participants skills and qualifications.

It genuinely is some really great fun, I highly recommend it as it’s a way of enjoying yourself which is especially important during A level year - I’d always get excited when I remember we have Hadracha later which was a really good boost to the day/week particularly when things were getting really busy. On a side note you can also add to your CV/UCAS application and it helps you to lead camp should you want to in the future.

I wasn’t sure what Had Bet was going to be like- I thought it was just going to be a continuation of Had Aleph. However I have been given so many opportunities to meet new people, lead camps and have a close group of friends before you move to uni. In had bet, you get to lead a session, and I think this has been the highlight of my year, getting to laugh with my friends and feel like an actual madrich. I have learnt so much in had bet and I can’t wait to go on to leading camps and tours with FZY!

The sessions included are a chance to build on the foundations from Year 1 (Hadracha Aleph), but also welcome newcomers. Some of these sessions include, ‘How to Discipline’, ‘how to effectively work with your fellow madrichim’, ‘how to run and write a session’ and many, many more fun and exciting programming. The cohort will also have the opportunity to write and lead their own sessions for their fellow participants, giving them the opportunity to practically apply the skills they have learnt.

Participants not only receive leadership training but also are given the space to explore their relationship and connection with Israel, Judaism, and social action. We believe this holistic approach equips them to become the next generation of FZY Madrichim (leaders). Many of our top leaders have risen through the ranks after graduating from our Hadracha course, demonstrating our proven ability to train and inspire future leaders.

The skills gained from this course are ideal for highlighting in job and university applications, and the opportunities provided to participants will significantly boost their career prospects as well.
