The opening as it read in 2005
Bnei Akiva is the world's largest youth movement of religious Zionism . It is active all over the world, with over 50,000 members. Bnei Akiva believes that through religious commitment and work on the land of Israel , Jewish youth can achieve fulfillment and self - realization in an age of turmoil and unrest. As a pioneering Zionist youth movement, Bnei Akiva believes that it is a crucial mitzvah of Judaism to return to the land of Israel. Indeed the future of the Jewish people is obviously tied to the state of Israel. Bnei Akiva feels Jewish youth in the Diaspora must be educated to the realization that the Jewish State needs them, and they need the Jewish State. Bnei Akiva operates local Shabbat groups, summer camps, leadership seminars, Shabatonim , and activities in six continents. Naturally, the center focus of Bnei Akiva is located in Israel, where Bnei Akiva is extremely active and where many members of Bnei Akiva participate in Bnei Akiva activities before they make Aliya.1
