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.
