Rosh Bonim
Sasha Rodenacker
Ever since my first Habo programme, more than a decade ago, I have loved the space that Habonim creates. I have felt nurtured, challenged, and safe to be myself. It is this feeling of freedom and pure elation that I received all those years as a Channie, that I am determined to bring to this Machaneh. From amazing beach days, spending time on the soccer court, hanging with friends and engaging activities, such as the carnival, wrestlemania, Illegal immigration etc.. There is always something exciting happening at camp.
In a personal capacity I feel well equipped to run an outstanding camp: having training in informal Jewish education in Israel, to my experience as S’gan Rosh of these kids last year, and the amazing leadership around me. Camp this year promises to be one to remember, catering to the needs of every Channie!
From the Bonim team, we hope to see you there!

Hi, I’m Sarah and I am a Med Student at UCT, but Medicine is just a side project to my real passion: Bonim! Throughout the years, Habo has brought me an enormous amount of joy and love. The movement has allowed me to learn and explore in a capacity that school and university simply cannot offer. Habo offers me a second home – a place in which I truly flourish. I can’t wait to share this feeling with the Bonim Channies, and to ensure that they also find the Habo magic.
I’ve been hard at work to help the Habo team plan the most incredible Machaneh. Through stimulating discussion, energizing activities and engaging tasks of self discovery, the Bonim team intends on creating a December like no other.
I’m beyond excited to spend Machaneh with Bonim and to ensure that the time is nothing short of perfect.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am so excited to be spending my December holiday as S’ganit Rosh Bonim. I spent a gap year living in Israel, and I am now studying English and International Relations at the University of Witwatersrand.
Habonim has given me a place where I feel totally at home. My time in the movement has nurtured, grown, and made me into the person I am today, and I credit a significant part of my personal growth and critical thinking skills to my time spent on Habonim programs. I love being a Madricha, and have learnt so much from Habonim Channichim over the years. I can think of nothing more fun and exciting than Bonim Machaneh. I can’t wait to spend these weeks going to the beach, dancing, eating ice bites, having fun, and making unforgettable memories with you!
