Yeshivot Bnei Akiva, the premier religious
Zionist educational movement in Israel, was founded
in 1939 by Rav Moshe Zvi Neriya, zt"l, when he
opened Israel's first yeshiva high school with 13 students
on a hilltop in Kfar Haroeh.
That school led to the development
of similar schools for both boys and girls, as well
as the establishment of hesder yeshivot and women's
colleges.
Today, YBA has grown into a national
movement encompassing 64 schools from the Golan to Eilat,
serving more than 22,000 students of all backgrounds.
This includes children from low-income homes, new immigrants,
and the learning disabled.
All of these students graduate from
YBA with a profound love of Torah, the Jewish People
and the Land of Israel, which they carry with them for
the rest of their lives.
