In the 1920s the '' Joodse jeugdfederatie '' ( Jewish Youth Federation ) was founded by Zionist Jewish youngsters . The federation was open to all Jews in the Netherlands and it brought together a large number of young Jews seeking unity and comfort . The Federation supported the creation of a national Jewish home in former Palestine . During the World War II , many members were murdered in The Holocaust . After the war , those who survived and former members came into contact with the in 1928 formed Habonim in the United Kingdom . For 22 years the two movements worked together and this eventually led to the creation of Haboniem beHolland in 1950 ( It would not receive official international recognition until 1951 ) . During the following decades Haboniem gathered many followers , many of them Jewish teenagers seeking a way out of their lives with their parent . The purpose of Haboniem beHolland was to help in the building of Israel by supporting the aliyah , the movement of Jews to the Promised Land . The purpose has since changed to educating members about Israel , the Israeli – Palestinian conflict and the history of the Jewish People . In 1958 Haboniem merged with the Kibbutz movement '' Meyuchad , '' this lead to the merging with the in 1915 formed '' " dror " '' . In the present day , Haboniem-Dror counts around 300 members of which around 150 are active and pay a contribution . The supporting of aliyah is mostly put aside for educating the Jewish youth on Israel , although it still remains something that some members undertake
