About BNEI AKIVA

We have over 40 sniffim (chapters) in cities around the US & Canada that join for weekly experiential activities, holiday events, and Shabbatonim focused on Torah, Israel, and Zionism. Our Sniffim are inspired, energized, and led by youth, and offer high quality experiential programs alongside leadership opportunities for our teen and young adult leaders.

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 Ba’ir day camps and Moshava sleepaway camps throughout the US and Canada welcome thousands of Jewish youth each summer, and Mach Hach BaAretz offers hundreds of teens unforgettable adventures in Israel.

Our Yeshiva and Midrasha, both located on separate campuses in the heart of Jerusalem offer recent high school graduates a multifaceted, immersive, and enriching gap year experience that’s like no other. A truly integrated experience, our motivated and curious students study Torah at the highest level, contribute their skills to Israeli society through top-notch internships, make a difference through meaningful volunteer opportunities, and fully immerse themselves in the land they love. Our Yeshiva has an approved Hesder track and high-level Kollel.
