Education is at the forefront of what Bnei Akiva does, and is the prime goal that runs through all the programming we provide.
Every week we produce educational material to use in our svivot around the country called ‘Chovrot’. These are sent to Roshim to help educate their madrichim and Chanichim. We also create and distribute weekly publications on the Parasha, called ‘Shabbat Lashem’, as well as a number of publications throughout the year.
Our weekly Choveret provides the educational content for the activities we run across the UK. Designed especially for our Madrichim, the Choveret teaches about a new topic each week and gives ideas for Shabbat afternoon activities. We produce both online Prezis and paper editions of our choveret each week.
Bnei Akiva inspires and empowers young Jews with a sense of commitment to the Jewish people, the Land of Israel and the Torah. As the largest Jewish youth movement in the UK, Bnei Akiva runs weekly activities, summer and winter camps, tours and gap years in Israel, and so much more!
We’re an inclusive youth movement, so while we have high religious standards, everyone is welcome. And wherever you go in the world, you’ll find Bnei Akiva – we have branches in 37 countries all over the globe!
‘Bnei Akiva’ means ‘the children of Akiva’, and our ideology relates directly to the story of Rabbi Akiva. At the age of 40, after growing up tending flock, he decided that he needed to find out the essence of the Jewish faith. He reasoned that just as something as soft as water can penetrate a solid rock and cause it to erode, so too can the Torah penetrate into himself.
We endeavour to follow Rabbi Akiva’s qualities, namely his love of Hashem, his devotion to the Torah, his love of Israel and the fight for its independence, and respect for work.
Bnei Akiva gives young Jewish people a framework to live a religious lifestyle in the modern world and a mission to make an active contribution to our community and the State of Israel.
Lishmah is a weekly Bet Midrash Program for Bogrot and sixth-form women who want to learn Torah on a serious and text-based level. Each week, there is an hour of Open Bet Midrash where participants learn B’Chavruta, followed by a choice of Chaburot: Masechet Sukkah Bekiut and Fundamental Questions on Religious Zionism. The Chaburot have a hybrid format where some weeks they are led by the Rabbinical Shlichim, and sometimes by the Bogrot themselves.

Shabbat Lashem is our weekly Parasha sheet with Divrei Torah from our Rav Shaliach, as well as Madrichim and Bogrim of the movement. It is distributed to over 50 Shuls and student centres across the UK and e-mailed to over 800 people.
