Bnei Akiva Experiences

Our year-round and summer experiences are integral to our participants’ growth, accompanying them from early childhood until their young professional years. Our programs combine meaningful, experiential education with supportive mentoring. They foster a deep love and unwavering commitment to Eretz Yisrael and Torat Yisrael in our participants, while nurturing leadership skills that prepare them to make a real difference for the Jewish people.

Our Summer Programs

Bnei Akiva’s summer experiences give Jewish youth the opportunity to immerse themselves in Torah V’Avodah and to forge a deep love for Israel. Our Moshava camps throughout North America and Canada welcome thousands of Jewish youth each summer, and Mach Hach B’Aretz offers hundreds of Jewish teens unforgettable adventures in Israel.
