Founded in 1947, Bnei Akiva Melbourne is a religious Zionist youth movement which aims to educate its members on ideological, social and communal issues.
As the largest branch of Bnei Akiva outside of Israel, we work with over 70 madrichim (leaders).
We aim to develop innovative, challenging and informative activities for approximately 300 chanichim (school-aged children) on a weekly basis while cultivating their ability to work with peers.
We develop well rounded, critical thinking chanichim, madrichim and members of the community who continually strive for self and team improvement and fulfilment. Most importantly, we are proud to provide meaningful content to the passionate young people in our community.
We aim to inspire and empower young Jewish youth through our pillars of:
– Commitment to the Torah and its values
– Commitment to the land of Israel and bettering the world around us
– Commitment to the value of Aliyah to Israel
Some ways to get involved are:
• Weekly activities on Shabbat for Years 3-12
• Winter and Summer Camps
• Leadership training for year 11 chanichim
• Beit Midrash learning Programs
• Shabbat and Jewish Festival Prayer services
• Annual events around Jewish Festivals including: Mishloach Manot service, Pre-Pesach BBQ, Tikkun Leil Shavuot Program, Lulav & Etrog packs
