GERMANY
Bnei Akiva Germany is a young branch of World Bnei Akiva and was formally established in 2014. Prior to this, Bnei Akiva was involved in Jewish activity in Germany as part of a program named Lehava that was run in cooperation with the ZWST (Central Jewish Welfare). Lehava ran for 14 years and over 70 Single Shlichim and families did Shlichut in Germany over those years.
Today our work in Germany is quite unique. Bnei Akiva works in orthodox communities where most members are Russian immigrants. Bnei Akiva plays a significant role in shaping the kids Jewish identity and relationship with Judaism. In Germany the Shlichim run activities in the youth centers of the communities.
We have shlichim that are active in:
-
Düsseldorf
-
Dortmund
-
Duisburg
-
Krefeld
-
Mönchengladbach
-
Offenbach (and other communities in the state of Hessen)
-
München (and other communities in the state of Bayern)
World Bnei Akiva contact person for Germany is Gavriel Suna.
