GIMMEL – YEAR 10
Gimmel is a special machane, as the year group that has been formed over previous machanot receives its own Shevet name, which carries the year group’s idea throughout the years. Don’t miss out on a fantastic Bnei Akiva milestone!
H-COURSE – YEAR 12
This is a very special machane for our Year 12 chanichim, and is a must for those who wish to become Bnei Akiva madrichim in the future. The ‘H’ stands for Hadracha (leadership), and this course will guide you through the skills that will stay with you for life, not just for machane.
The week will end with all the theory that you have learnt being put into practice. You will make a visit to a younger machane and become madrich for a day.
WORKING AT MACHANE
All of Bnei Akiva’s machanot are run by dedicated volunteers. From Technikim to Madrichim, and from Head Cooks to Roshim and Sganim; Bnei Akiva needs you to keep running our fantastic machanot.

The amazing learning opportunities on the programme will equip you with the tools you need to continue exploring jewish thought and identity by yourself, after high school. Through some thought-provoking activities we will explore as a shevet (year group) what we want out of the next years of our lives and the next stage of our bnei akiva journeys – including preparation for being senior madrichim next summer.

We will be sharing a site with all the other Bnei Akiva machanot this summer and putting our Torah learning into action making tochniot, shiurim and a bunch of other activities for the chanichim on site. At Bnei Akiva we believe our learning should be ‘l’lamed’ – in order to teach – and you’ll definately see that ideal in action over BMP. You even have the opportunity to stay on camp after BMP and take up a tafkid if you want! The fun does not stop there – every afternoon you’ll get some fun activities to bond as a shevet – you deserve it after exams! From watersports to hiking to your classic Bnei Akiva tochniot.
