Informations historiques : 1933 saw the beginning of "Youth Aliyah" activities, in Germany, when Recha Freier devoted herself to saving Jewish children from the hands of the Nazis. In 1934, the first group of children was welcomed to Israel by Henrietta Szold and sent to Kibbutz Ein Harod. Since then, over 200,000 children from all over the world have received their education in Youth Aliyah institutions. Today,18,000 children study in kibbutzim, youth villages, boarding schools and centers for youth - among these, some 2,000 new immigrants, and youngsters are spending a year of their high school studies in Israel. Youth Aliyah endeavours to match learning situations to pupil abilities (boarding schools with vocational training and academic studies, centers for youth and kibbutz groups), in accordance with the verse: "Start a child on the right road". The issue of this medal marks the Youth Aliyah Jubilee.
