The Mission of Betar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

             The duty and aim of Betar is very simple though difficult: to create that type of Jew which the nation needs in order to better and quicker build a Jewish state. In other words, to create a
"normal", "healthy" citizen for the Jewish nation. The greatest difficulty is encountered because,
as a nation, the Jews today are neither "normal" nor "healthy" and life in diaspora affects the
intelligent upbringing of normal and healthy citizens.

             During two thousand years of exile, the Jewish nation lost the habit of concentrating its
will-power on an all-important task, lost the habit of acting in unison as a people, lost the ability
to defend itself, armed in case of emergency, instead, the Jews became accustomed to shouts
rather than deeds, to disorder and disorganization, to negligence, both in social and personal life.
Every step of the Betar education signifies, therefore, a desire to reach the top and achieve this
"normalcy" even though it will take a long time for every Betari to grow up in the proper ways of
life and behavior. The goal is not easily attainable but at the very beginning, it is reassuring
indeed to know that the Betari remembers them and aspires even if slowly, to arrive at the
heights.
