Mas Chaver
What is Mas Chaver?
Mas Chaver, the annual Bnei Akiva membership fee, is the lifeblood of the movement. Without a paying membership base, Bnei Akiva would struggle to provide its high-class fun and educational activities for young people of all ages.
In addition to Mas Chaver, Bnei Akiva relies heavily on grant money from trusts and organisations such as the Mizrachi Organization of Canada and donations from individuals and charities. Our work is valued deeply both within the Jewish and wider community, yet the challenge to procure funding is ever increasing.
This year, we are appealing to you, directly through Mas Chaver, to play a small part in keeping the Bnei Akiva community active and strong.
Where Does it All Go?
Bnei Akiva invests hundreds dollars a year in its youth – striving to develop independent and socially responsible young individuals who are well equipped, proud & ready to stand up for their beliefs, and through their active participation in Jewish life, give back to the community as a whole.
The following is just some of what your money allows us to:
- Build on our local, regional & national infrastructure including Shabbatonim, weekly activities and national events
- Create a training and support framework for Sniffim around the city
- Employ 2 full time Schlichim and 5 part time Mazkirim
- Create Educational resources and development
- Organise skills-based programming and training, educational trips and campus activities for Bogrim
- Offer Informal education within a traditional system such as in schools, etc.
- Arrange social action projects and opportunities both here and in Israel
Bnei Akiva is continually striving to build upon its current activities and, with your support, will continue to be the largest and widest reaching Zionist youth movement in North America!
Why Sign Up?
Becoming a Bnei Akiva member is not without its benefits. Membership allows you to be involved in the largest and most influential zionist youth movement in Toronto, participate in Snif, local, regional & national activities and events, residential shabbatonim and gives you access to all that we do.
And if that’s not enough, there are a number of small bonuses available as well:
- BA publications
- Details about events mailed & emailed directly to you
- Reduced entry to selected BA events (this could save you more than the membership itself!)
