B'Shetach

Who weare

We take Israeli kids and teens out of their screens and onto the trail.

B'Shetach is an Israeli educational NGO, founded in 2022. Small, intimate groups meet every week across the country, and every month a group sets out on a three-day journey carrying everything on their backs.

Nothing here is a one-off activity. It is one long path — from a first weekly campfire to the young staff guiding the next generation.

What we believe

What guidesus

  1. The group practising together in a circle on mats in a green field
    Small, intimate groups

    The same group and the same educators walk together for years — belonging you can build on.

  2. The journey's desert night camp — sleeping bags in a circle, from above
    Real responsibility

    Teens navigate, cook on open fires, carry the gear and look after each other. Skills stick because they matter.

  3. A participant with a pack spreading their arms out towards the view
    Nature as the classroom

    Long trails, quiet nights, no screens. The landscape of Israel does the teaching; we set the pace.
