The World Zionist Organization Executive decided Sunday on a new plan, designed to encourage the immigration of youth groups and their integration in agricultural settlements. The plan–called “The Jewish Pioneer”–was presented by Mordecai Bar-On, head of the Youth and Hechalutz Department. According to this project, participants will be required to serve for a minimum period of two years within a voluntary framework. The program will be mainly based on the pioneer youth movements, but it is planned to be extended to community organizations, student organizations and non-pioneering movements.
