In early June, representatives of American Friends of Yeshivot and Ulpanot Bnei Akiva (AFYBA) will travel to Israel to visit Yeshivot and Ulpanot Bnei Akiva schools, meet with students and educators, and strengthen partnerships across our educational network.

During this important trip, AFYBA will co-host a special barbecue for Chayalim—soldiers who are proud alumni of Yeshivot and Ulpanot Bnei Akiva schools. This event provides a meaningful opportunity to honor their service and connect them with the community that helped shape their values and leadership.
