Bnei Akiva

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:19:33 GMT

As a school, we are fully committed to supporting the State and Land of Israel and we do this through our actions and our words. We regularly feature speakers and programs addressing issues relevant to current events in Israel as well as Israel’s role in the world at large. We encourage all of our students to spend at least a year of study in Israel upon completing their education at RMBA and are very proud of the many graduates who have made the ultimate commitment to the Jewish people and have chosen to make aliyah. In particular, we actively support and participate in the Bnei Akiva youth movement.

Diversity is the ONE thing we ALL have in common Modern Orthodox educational institutions must accommodate two crucial, but superficially conflicting, Torah values. On the one hand, an unwavering commitment to Torah must pervade our halls, a commitment that is expressed in both actions and words and which makes no compromises. On the other hand, it is our duty to provide a high level of Jewish education to all children, observant or not, whose families want them to have one. I emphasize that these are both values of paramount importance and are both Torah values. However, there is a tension between these two values.
