Overview

Mission

Bnei Akiva Chicago provides high quality Religious Zionist education and programming for youth and their families throughout the Chicagoland community. Based on the principles of Torah vAvodah, we encourage aliyah, love of the Jewish people, and love of Israel.

What it reported doing in 2024

Bnei Akiva programs offer weekly lectures and activities to 50 - 100 children ranging from 12 years old to 18 years old. These activities offered on weekends, allow the children to immerse themselves in Torah v'Avodah. Aliyah is encouraged, love of the Jewish people, and love of Israel. Due to the continue threat of Covid -19 in 2021, Bnei Akiva has had to cancel most of its weekly lectures and activities.
