Who are we?
Netzer South Africa is the non-profit, Progressive Jewish and Zionist youth movement of South
Africa. We form a branch of the international Netzer movement, Netzer Olami (worldwide), which
has its offices in Jerusalem. Netzer exists in over ten countries, including Panama, Australia, North
America, Belarus, Brazil, Germany, France, Israel, England, Russia, Spain and the Ukraine. Our parent
bodies include the South African Union for Progressive Judaism (SAUPJ) and the South African Zionist
Federation (SAZF).
One of our main aims is Tikkun Olam (social action), through Jewish education and community. The
Jewish values of equality, tolerance and respect for all humanity form the core of our ideology and
help create the unique warm atmosphere on our Machanot (camps).
Highlights from 2012
2012 has been an interesting and challenging year in the Netzer world. We have an almost
completely new leadership body, which leads to fresh ideas as well as needing to ask for help quite a
bit. Luckily, we have an eager group of bogrim (graduates) who have been on call to help with nearly
everything.
The year started off with Marni Riese going to Israel for Netzer Olami’s worldwide Veida, or
conference, where decisions are made about Netzer policy and ideology as a world movement. It
creates ties with all the sniffim (branches) around the world and bonds and connections are formed.
We have two participants in Israel on Shnat Netzer, Netzer’s ten-month gap year programme. They
spend their year learning and living Netzer’s ideology, with parts of intensive learning, community
living, leading, growing, volunteering, and working, from Jerusalem to Karmiel to Kibbutz Lotan in
the desert. When they return they will have a two-year commitment to the movement, and we trust
that they will work with the current management body to keep the movement growing and moving
forward.
Sofia Zway, Nina Hoffman and Sivan Zeffertt attended the SAUPJ 80th Anniversary Conference to
represent Netzer. It was a very interesting and valuable experience.
Other than that, on a regional level, there were a variety of activities throughout the year, including
Shabbatot, Mini-Machanot, celebration of chaggim, Day Camps and many others!
I hope that this camp inspires everyone involved, both channichim (participants) and madrichim
(councillors) and that everyone gets to feel that Netzer spirit which is loved by so many!

About Machaneh Lazuz
Netzer has been moving to its very own unique beat for over 30 years, and it’s stronger than ever!
Netzer is all about kefucation [fun-education], and this Machaneh will be no different!
‘Movement’ has so many different connotations, many of which will be explored on Machaneh.
From traditional Israeli dancing to ridiculously fun 80s style ‘aerobics’ classes, a lot of literal moving
will be done at Machaneh. We will also, however, be moving our minds, finding new ways of
discovering ourselves and moving to ‘the beat’. Each person has his or her own beat, and this will be
explored at Machaneh Lazuz.
How have the Jews moved across the globe, from generation to generation? How have we, as
individuals, kept up with the pace of the ever-changing society in which we live? We will be looking
at all sorts of ways that we can move. With amazing and creative activities and discussions, we
promise to stretch every participant’s mind to its full capacity as we tackle these important
questions of identity, belonging and purpose.
With the hard work and passionate commitment of the Mazkirut of 2012, who have put this
Machaneh together, we will continue moving from strength to strength, developing and growing.
Machaneh Lazuz will get everyone thinking, doing, and most importantly, moving to their very own
beat!

Greetings from our friends
Steve Lurie - SAUPJ National Chairman
In 2012, Netzer ushered in a completely new management body, including new schlichim. These
young people continue with the notable leadership roles in the community-wide events on Yom
Hazikaron and Yom Hashoah. SAZF support for Netzer, the Progressive Jewish Zionist Youth
Movement, is a source of strength. The honours received by Netzer in recent years include
recognition for the most Zionistic Programmes and nominations of Madrichim and Shlichim for
leading roles in community functions.
Netzer is directly involved in the day to day life of our shuls, running regular youth services, youth
activities at religion schools as well as teaching at Reddam School and doing activity work at various
other schools in Gauteng and Cape Town. They continue with their Tikkun Olam projects,
environmental projects and social outreach programmes as well as being very involved in Mandela
Day and Mitzvah Day where they work with the underprivileged youth and the elderly.
Last year’s camp, “Song of the Sea,” was a great success and the South African Zionist Federation
and Israel Centre continue to acknowledge this with accolades. Netzer programmes are committed
to Reform Zionist ideals. The campsite, set in nature, lends to a vibrant and exciting camp
atmosphere while Netzer leaders ensure that our children learn how to share, lead and live the
Progressive Jewish dream. By going on a Netzer youth camp, you are not only learning about
Judaism, being a good Progressive Jew with high moral values and ethics but it will also teach you
about Zionism, and the love for Israel.
On behalf of the South African Union for Progressive Judaism, we wish Netzer and all our youth an
exciting, enjoyable and successful camp in 2012.
Maoz Haviv – Mazkir Klali (Chairperson) Netzer Olami / TaMaR
Dear members of Netzer South Africa – Shalom:
Your Machaneh theme this year is "LAZUZ," which in Hebrew means “to move” or “to get from one
point to another.” Actually, in Hebrew, “to move” is also "LANUA" and from “LANUA” comes the
word "TNUA" – and this is exactly what you are members of: "TNUAT NOAR" or, in English, a
"YOUTH MOVEMENT".
This December, you will participate in a summer camp that intends to implement the essence of the
movement – to move on: to move towards a better future for each of you, both within the
movement and personally, to move on to a more meaningful implementation of Tikkun Olam, and,
for each of you, to move in the camp from where you are today towards a better and more
meaningful stage of your membership in Netzer Olami.
I hope you really make the most of it, and may this be the most successful joyful and positive camp
yet!

Avrom Krengel - Chairman of the South African Zionist Federation
Once again this year, thousands of excited and eager young Jewish students pack their bags and set
off for the highlight of the year: Machaneh. And what a wonderful experience awaits you! This is an
experience that will remain with you for many years to come – making new friends, renewing old
acquaintances, having fun, learning many things and revelling in an atmosphere of Jewish and Zionist
values.Your heritage and your future as Jewish youngsters, as well as Israel and its beauty and
charm, its appeal and its opportunities, will form a large part of what you will be taught, and what
you will imbibe, during your stay.
Once again, I’m happy, on behalf of the South African Zionist Federation to associate myself with this
wonderful event – I have no doubt that every participant will return home stimulated and excited –
ready to participate in the following year’s activities.
Machaneh has become an important part of our South African youth tradition and I am confident
that it will continue to be so for many years to come.
On behalf of everyone at the SA Zionist Federation, I wish you all a successful, happy and stimulating
Machaneh.
Eric Beswick- Executive Director of Temple Israel
I am so proud of the fact that my children are carrying on the tradition of my family by being
passionate members of Netzer South Africa. I just love seeing their smiling faces coming home after
the running around, learning, singing, laughing, dancing, playing, eating, drinking, campfiring, social
actioning and all the other stuff that makes Netzer Machaneh the highlight of the year for them.
I would love all Jewish parents to be able to see the unbridled happiness that comes with being a
Netzer channie (participant). The leadership of the movement have pulled out all the stops this year
to make this a fantastic camp for your kids, so delay your family holidays a little and book your
children on the experience of their lives.

The Hanhallah – Camp leadership
Sivan Zeffertt – Rosh Machaneh (Camp Director)
Sivan is currently the Mazkira of Netzer South Africa and the Gauteng Youth
Worker. Sivan is a hardworking, open-minded and encouraging human being. She
is organised and knows her strengths and weaknesses, which makes for an
efficient and thorough leader. Sivan brings her artistic and expressive outlook on
life to Netzer and inspires all of us to do our best. She is fully supported by the
rest of the Mazkirut in her role as Rosh Machaneh. As Sivan's favourite author,
Neil Gaiman, once wrote: “Everybody has a secret world inside of them.” Sivan is
about to unleash her secret and wonderful world and, with the help of her team,
run an excellent machaneh.
Nina Hoffman – S’gan Rosh Machaneh Pnimit (Vice Head of Camp Internal) and Rosh Chinuch (Head of Education)
Nina is a dancer, a singer, a thinker and an educator. She has been a keen
Netzernik since she was just 12, and her involvement has kept increasing
throughout the years, with her being an active madricha, participating in Shnat
Netzer (Netzer’s gap-year programme), and being part of the mazkirut for the
past year. She has passion and drive for her year role of Rosh Chinuch (Head of
Education) and a great organizational mind for her role on camp. Nina is
studying to be a Maths teacher at UCT. Nina’s smile lights up rooms and her
enthusiasm motivates those around her to do any task with a good attitude.
Marni Riese - S’gan Rosh Machaneh Klali (Vice Head of Camp - External)
& Rosh Mitbach (Head of Kitchen)
Marni has spent the past year working as Gizbarit (Head of Finance) for Netzer
South Africa. She joined the movement at the tender age of nine and has not
looked back since. She finished top three of her class at the International Hotel
School, where she is studying Hotel Management and Professional Cookery.
Logistics is her passion, and she is highly attentive to the needs of others. On
Machaneh Lazuz, she will be heading up the roles of Sgan Rosh Clalit and Rosh
Mitbach, putting her skills and knowledge into action for what promises to be a
creative and healthy menu.
Dayne Brazil – Rosh Techni (Head of Logistics)
“Dayne the Durbanite - can he fix it!? Dayne the Durbanite - Yes he can!" There
could be no better Netzernik to fill the role of Rosh Logistics than Dayne Brazil.
He is tech-savvy and practical, always willing to help or lend a very capable
hand. Whether it is a blocked drain, faulty electrical gadget, or even a broken
heart, Dayne is the one to call! Dayne has been the petrol that has kept Netzer
Durban's engine running for many years (He would appreciate the motor
reference, too). His energy and love for life is motivating for those with whom

he works. Dayne lives, eats and breathes Netzer. His passion and commitment are inspiring, and the
movement would not be the same without him.
Shlichim 2012
Leshem Brosh – Rosh Mishlachat (Head of Shlichim) & Cape Town
Shaliach:
Leshem, or “Leyshem,” as we like to call him, is the twenty-two year old
Capetonian Shaliach. He has been with us since last December, and has been
an asset to the movement ever since. He was born and raised in Petah Tikvah,
a city just outside of Tel Aviv. Leshem is well versed in Jewish conversation,
due to serving in the army as a trainer for a combined course, which included
a boot camp course. By the end of his military career he had been promoted
to Educational Officer and was in charge of 250 soldiers. With his contagious
energy and great sense of humour, Leshem will keep us all motivated and
entertained throughout Machaneh.
Yuval Berger – Gauteng Shaliach
Yuval Berger is the newly appointed Jewish Agency Youth Movement Shaliach
for Netzer Gauteng. Yuval was born and raised in Haifa. In his military service,
Yuval served as a commander in the anti - aircraft and missile forces of the
Israeli air force. Prior to coming on shlichut , he worked as a youth counsellor on
Kibbutz Yahel in the Arava Desert in southern Israel and took part in Beit
Midrash Baderech, a post-army program that includes working with agriculture
and living on a kibbutz. Yuval was a Chanich and Madrich in Noar Telem, the
Israeli branch of Netzer. We are very excited to be working with him over the
next year!

Assist-A-Camper Appeal
Dear Parents and Friends,
Netzer is a non-profit community organisation.
We feel that every child should have the experience of being in a youth movement. It is our goal not
to turn away channichim (participants) for financial reasons. However, an increasing number of
families are experiencing economic difficulty as the cost of living rises, meaning that the number of
requests for financial aid grows every year.
We are grateful for the part that the continued and generous financial contributions that parents,
the Progressive congregations and the entire community have played in enabling us to grow in koach
(strength).
Each year we are in danger of not being able to maintain our policy of supporting those in financial
need. We thus ask you to please assist us in ensuring that every potential channich/a (participant)
has the opportunity to join us for our vibrant and inspiring Machaneh Lazuz, by pledging an amount
to our Assist-a-Camper appeal. This can be found under the financial section. We greatly appreciate
all contributions, no matter how small.
Thanking you in anticipation of your continued support,
Hanhallah of Machaneh Lazuz 2012

Q&A
Can I submit my form after 9 November?
When forms are not handed in on time we cannot correctly work out quantities for Machaneh. This
can lead to shortages in food and anything else the campers receive from us (such as t-shirts). We
want to plan ahead for your child’s health, security and well-being.
By getting your form in early, you help to improve the quality of Machaneh. We have an early bird
discount to encourage you to send your forms in early. The early cut-off date for forms this year is
Monday 15th October. There are many locations to hand in your form to make it more convenient
for you. We appeal to you as responsible parents to hand in forms on time.
I can’t afford Machaneh, Are there any subsidies?
Netzer has never turned away a camper because of financial difficulty, thanks to the donations to
our assist-a-camper appeal. This year, we hope it will be no exception. Those requesting help from
the community need to request a subsidy form from the Netzer office (camp@netzer.org.za) and
have it returned to us by Monday, 15th October. These forms will be handled with complete
confidentiality. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee you a subsidy, but we will try our best. We are
indebted to the families and individuals who are able to assist by donating towards our assist-acamper appeal.
I can’t stay for the whole camp; can you change my flight dates?
We strongly recommend that all participants plan to be on camp for the full duration. Chanichim
leaving at different times negatively affects the group dynamics.
In the past we have had problems with channichim who wish to change their flights which have
already been booked for them by Netzer South Africa. We have decided that we will not be
responsible for any flight changes. If you wish to change a flight, we will give you all the details and
you will be responsible for changing the flight and paying any costs incurred with the changing. We
will also be charging a R200 admin fee for any participant who will arrive late or leave early from
camp due to logistical costs. We do however need you to confirm the flight time change with us
before booking as we may have special arrangements to consider. Please contact Sivan Zeffertt in
writing at camp@netzer.org.za before Monday, 15th October.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT US.

footprint as much as possible while on camp. Do your part and plant trees to offset what we can’t reduce. For
R50, the Jewish National Fund will plant a tree in Israel or in South Africa and your tree will absorb carbon for
approximately 70 years- having a positive impact on our environment! Go green this summer
Any forms handed in after the due date will be charged a late fee of R200 per person.

Camp rules 2011
Camp rules
By coming to camp both parent and chanich/a agree to comply with the following rules, as set out
and followed by all participants at Netzer South Africa Machanot. These rules exist to ensure the
safety and security of each chanich/a and madrich/a.
1. No chanich/a may leave the campsite or group without specific permission from the
Machaneh Hanhallah.
2. The use of alcohol and/or drugs of any sort is prohibited at all times, including en route.
3. Theft and/or damage of any camp property, or that of any other person on or off site, is
prohibited. The cost of such damage will be entirely the responsibility of the chanich/a
and/or parents/guardian.
4. Intimidation and bullying of fellow participants is prohibited.
5. Continual disruptive and destructive behaviour will not be tolerated.
6. Weapons of any kind (including pocket knives) and “raiding” equipment is prohibited.
7. Channichim under the age of 18 may not smoke during Machaneh. Channichim over the age
of 18 require a letter of consent from a parent/guardian stipulating that they are aware that
the chanich/a smokes. Netzer South Africa strongly discourages smoking.
8. Cellular phones will be confiscated for the duration of Machaneh from channichim.
9. No food is to be brought on site. Food en route must be finished before reaching the
campsite. Food found to be in the possession of a chanich/a will be confiscated. This is to
avoid food becoming an issue for bullying, competitiveness and theft situations.
10. Attendance at all meals and activities/programmes is compulsory.
Items 2, 3, 5 and 6 can be considered criminal activities, and Netzer South Africa will not protect
perpetrators from the law.
Items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are offences for which the camper will be sent home immediately. The travel
costs for this early departure will be covered by the camper or his/her parents.
We strongly discourage bringing any valuables to camp.
Netzer South Africa does not take responsibility for the loss and/or damage of any property brought
on site and/or confiscated.
The Hanhallah has the right to take appropriate disciplinary action at their discretion including:
-
Sending a chanich/a home at the cost of the family concerned.
-
Permanently banning a chanich/a from the movement
Netzer South Africa reserves the right not to refund any monies received.

What to bring
Do not bring new or very good clothing to camp. Netzer South Africa is ozone-friendly and requests
where applicable, that your equipment is as well. Make sure that all items are clearly marked with
the camper’s name. If you are flying, remember not to exceed the 20kg weight limit. We
recommend that a heavy-duty suitcase be used as it will have to withstand heavy wear and tear.
