David Ben-Gurion visits a youth centre in Leeds in this promotional film for the Youth & Hechalutz Department of the Jewish Agency in London

This promotional film for the Youth & Hechalutz Department of the Jewish Agency in London highlights initiatives for young Jewish people in 1960s Britain. A youth centre in Leeds is honoured with a visit from Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion, while a group of teenagers embark on a special programme living and working on a kibbutz in Israel. Their adventure is interrupted by the outbreak of the Six-Day War, prompting a crush of young men signing up to fight for Israel; a swift and decisive victory meant that their services were not ultimately required.

The work carried out by the Youth & Hechalutz Department of the Jewish Agency. Based at Rex House in London, the agency takes up the challenge of guiding the younger generation of British Jews. It encourages education about Jewish culture and arranges visits to kibbutzim. There is footage of David Ben-Gurion opening an agency youth centre in Leeds and delivering the inauguration speech. The film also shows some of the thousands of British Jews who volunteered to fight in the Six Day War, registering with the agency.
