Semel
The Emblem of Bnei Akiva is made up of different objects
each relating to a different aspect of the ideology of Torah Va’Avodah.
The farming utensils and the wheat sheaves relate to the agricultural,
pioneering elements of our ideology. The two tablets of stone in the
center, the luchot , highlight the centrality of Torah to our ideology,
guiding everything we do. The elements of Torah and Avodah are united
together by the ribbon which says Bnei Akiva on it- symbolizing that
the two aspects can and must work hand in hand. The letters on the two
tablets are ‘Taf” and ‘Ayin’ standing for “Torah Va’avoda”- the slogan
of Bnei Akiva.
