Bnei Akiva
Bnei Akiva was established on Lag BaOmer 1929 as the youth wing of the Mizrachi movement. Concurrent with the establishment of the movement in pre-independence Israel, organizations of religious youth operated in the Diaspora. In 1958, the Israeli and Diaspora groups merged to form the modern 'World Bnei Akiva', which operates both in and out of Israel for Diaspora youth, alongside with 'Bnei Akiva Israel' which operates in Israel for Israeli youth.
