Histadrut HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed (Hebrew: הסתדרות הנוער העובד והלומד, lit. General Federation of Students and Young Workers in Israel and most commonly translated as Working and Studying Youth), abbreviated No'al (נוֹעַ"ל), is an Israeli youth movement, a sister movement of Habonim Dror, and affiliated with the Labor Zionist movement. The organisation is a member of the International Falcon Movement – Socialist Educational International.
HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed was founded in 1924. Initially it was called "Hanoar HaOved" ("Working Youth") and affiliated with the Histadrut. In 1959, the group joined "HaTnua HaMeuhedet" ("The United Movement") and the name was changed to HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed.
In the 1990s, along with the decline of the kibbutz movement, HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed began re-examining the ideal life path of its members, which had always began settling kibbutzim in gar'inim after finishing their mandatory period of army service. Instead, a model started to be put forward in which bogrim ("graduates") of the movement formed small urban communes working in society, particularly in education. Today, there are about 1,000 members of HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed's Tnuat Bogrim ("Movement of Graduates") living in small communes in cities or kibbutzim and working in Israeli Society – mostly in education and the youth movement. The youth movement and the Tnuat Bogrim are called "Dror-Israel" movement, which is named after the historical "Dror" movement in Europe.
