On Mach Hach Ba'Aretz
you will have an extensive and exciting summer learning and touring
experience. Mach Hach offers its participants a fun, exciting and inspirational
program discovering and experiencing Israel as our homeland. Participants
spend six weeks discovering the special Bnei Akiva flavor, which includes
a special love and connection to our Jewish homeland and its people.
Participants on Mach Hach Ba'Aretz have the choice of week long adventure
programs that enable them to experience firsthand the history, geography
and culture of Israel. Program include GADNA Tzahal Adventure, an experience
in the Israeli army, Wilderness Adventure, a survival training exercise
in the Negev and Sherut La'Am Leadership Adventure, volunteering in
a development town while understanding the Mitzvot of Bein Adam L'Chavero.
TVI is
Bnei Akiva's National Leadership Training Seminar. For a period of
one month, 17 year olds from across the country come together in
Honesdale, PA. In a relaxed camp setting, complete with all the sports
and recreational facilities you have come to expect from Camp Moshava,
TVIers begin their transition from chanichim to madrichim. Hadracha
and leadership techniques are taught through discussions and experiential
education. In addition, TVIers gain first hand experience throughout
the month. TVI participants plan peulot for younger chanichim in
the nearby Moshava IO and organize Shabbat programming for their
peers. Most importantly, TVI participants actually plan and control
much of TVI's programming throughout the summer. This not only allows
for excellent hadracha experience but also allows the participants
to give their personal input in to all of the summer's special events.
As a TVI participant, you will plan your own hikes, inter-camps,
trips beyond all the planned activities that take
place during the summer at TVI is the atmosphere created each year.
Taking advantage of their final summer with kids their own age, TVIers
create bonds and solidify friendships-both amongst themselves and
with their madrichim-that will extend through the following years.
