Shevet Shahar is Sydney’s branch of the Israeli scouts in Australia – started off in 2015 with a small group of teenagers from all over Sydney metro area. This group set the first ‘shachbag’ (senior year) undergoing a leadership course and sharing the goal of becoming the leaders of the new Shevet in Sydney.
