SOUTH AFRICA
During the past seven decades, Bnei Akiva South Africa has formed into the largest and most active youth movement in the country. Through love and dedication, the Bnei Akiva Madrichim instill within our community’s youth a strong love for Judaism, a passion for Israel and a sense of responsibility to ones fellow man, which are the core values of the organisation.
Bnei Akiva South Africa is active in Cape Town as well as Johannesburg.
OUR SHLICHIM IN SOUTH AFRICA
Rav Shaliach Daniel Kaplan
South Africa
Rav Shaliach Daniel Kaplans connection to Bnei Akiva South Africa goes far beyond his current position as Rav Shaliach. Rabbi Daniel Kaplan, born and bred in South Africa has been involved with the movement from a young age. After completing his schooling in Johannesburg, Rabbi Kaplan participated in Bnei Akiva’s esteemed MTA programme learning in Yeshvat Har Etzion. He then went on to take numerous high profile positions in the movement before joining Mizrachi South Africa’s YAD Rabbinic Development Programme.
Rabbi Kaplan, together with his wife – Andy, and their three wonderful children, is currently serving as Rav Shaliach of Bnei Akiva South Africa.
