HaShomer HaChadash was established by Yoel Zilberman, from Moshav Tzippori in the Galilee, and On Rifman, from Kibbutz Revivim in the Negev, in response to the pressing need for protecting agricultural lands. The two realized that safeguarding is based on a foundation that embodies a deep educational idea – love of the land, or in its more recognizable form, Zionism.
Since its establishment in 2007, HaShomer HaChadash has inspired the love of the land by connecting tens of thousands of volunteers to the farmers and ranchers in need of assistance and to each individual’s personal identity. This is accomplished through various innovative work and education projects that deepen our shared roots, further cultivating the love of the land.
