The Betar Movement is a world Zionist youth movement founded 85 years ago by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Betar members played important roles in the creation of Israel. Today the Betar Movement is active in many world branches and is involved in Jewish and Zionist activism.
The Betar World Leadership is the central co-ordinating body which connects the many Betar branches throughout the world.
The World Leadership in the current period is striving, via its shlichim, and via the local leaderships throughout the Gola, to continue the united and determined campaign to maintain Jerusalem as the united and eternal capital of the Jewish People. Within the framework of this campaign, the World Leadership is organizing a wide variety of activities.
Aliyah to Israel represents the fulfilment of the Betar idea in the Gola, and each year the movement absorbs hundreds of Olim, who go on to join the IDF and continue their activities in the movement in Israel.
