Inspiring the Soul of a Nation
Bnei Akiva of the U.S. & Canada is the leading Religious Zionist youth movement in North America, shaping generations of young Jews through a life rooted in Torah, a love for Am Yisrael, and an enduring commitment to the State of Israel. With 40 chapters across more than 20 cities, the movement reaches over 8,500 youth and staff each year through weekly programming, immersive camps, leadership seminars, and life-changing Israel experiences—led by a dedicated team of Israeli shlichim.
At the heart of Bnei Akiva’s mission is Lashuv Habayta—a call to return, both spiritually and physically, to a life of purpose in Eretz Yisrael. In moments of joy and in times of challenge, Bnei Akiva stands as a force for unity, resilience, and Jewish pride. In response to October 7, the movement launched the Baneshama Initiative, bringing music, strength, and care to more than 40,000 soldiers and 15,000 displaced families—proving that Bnei Akiva leads not only with vision, but with action.
