Bnei Akiva Brookline Activities
YIB welcomes Bnei Akiva Shlichim, Shira and Yedidya Meuchas, from Sderot, and their children, Nave and Maayan, to our community. Shira and Yedidya have join our shul team to enrich youth programming and Israel/Israeli programming at YIB, and we are so happy to partner with Maimonides Kehillah to create Bnei Akiva Brookline that will provide programming for the entire Brookline area. Shira and Yedidya will also be teaching at Maimonides School, and we thank Maimonides School for their partnership to make this exciting initiative a reality. Read more about Shira and Yedidya below.
