Where does the name “Machal” come from? In 1948, were a group of overseas volunteers to the Israeli cause in the Israeli Independence War. Some 4,000 people volunteered, and today we commemorate them by naming the campers that volunteered to put themselves through the hardest conditions, like the Original Machal, after them.
