History
Hineni is a young and dynamic youth movement, albeit with a rich and proud history. Since its establishment as a synagogue youth group in 1974 it has dramatically developed into one of Australia's largest youth movements, defined by its post-modern world view and vibrant in its activity:
• The movement has grown out of Sydney, branching out into Canberra and later to Melbourne.
• The ideology has developed to its current form with three pillars of Modern Orthodoxy, politically active and pluralist Zionism.
• Their acceptance into the Australian Zionist Youth Council has demonstrated the much-deserved recognition of Hineni's important role within the community.
• Membership has increased, with ever-growing attendance at weekly meetings and biannual camps.
• Large groups of high-school graduates have consistently departed to Israel for the year-long 'Shnat' program.
• Shlichim have been sent to the movement from Israel, serving as an inspiration to chanichim and madrichim alike.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
