ROSH BONIM
MAX MENDELOW
Since Max was 10 years old, he has been attending Habo events. Now that he’s a little older, he dedicated a lot of his time making sure that other kids get to have the same experiences of fun and learning that he was privileged to receive. The lessons he’s learnt through Habo leadership have taken him far in his engineering degree and he often says Habo has been the best education he’s had. This December he’s excited to take all he’s learnt and use it to make the best Bonim Machaneh Habos ever seen.

OSCAR REITENBERG
Oscar is a passionate member of Habonim Dror SA and cannot wait to lead Bonim on the best machaneh in years. He has been coming on machaneh for 10 years, and is so excited for the unique experience each new camp presents. He studied economics and political studies at Wits University. Every lesson he has learnt from Habo has informed his studies and paradigms, and he cannot wait to impart new lessons and skills on Jewish youth in the community.

JENNA SHORKEND
Jenna’s been hooked on Habo magic since their first machaneh in 2019. Through the organised chaos of running peulot and connecting with Habo culture, the amount of learning and growth for both themself and the channies always marks every camp as the highlight of their year. As a motion design student, Jenna has found that the creative thinking and problem solving skills that they utilise intertwine perfectly with the role of being a maddie. They feel that the campsite is the best place to be yourself, where the craziest memories are sure to be made. Jenna maddied for Bonim in 2023 and could not be more excited to do it all again as S’gan Rosh Bonim to make this December twice as good as the last!
