About us

What we do

Bnei Akiva of Philadelphia has been around for over 20 years.  We continue to grow every year!  This year we are thrilled to have the Kampinski family as our shlichim.  Baruch and Noa teach at Kohelet Yeshiva and run all of the programming throughout the year for Bnei Akiva.  Some highlights are weekly snif which service 1-8 graders and a leadership program for 9-12 grade.  We subsidize friday night onegs, regular shabbatonim, fun and age-appropriate activities like laser tag and ice skating, monthly pizza parties, and activities centered around all the Jewish Holidays. Bnei Akiva also manages the bat sheirut program.  This year we were lucky to have Almog, Amit, Neta, Shira and Shachari spend the year in Philly.  They work in Caskey Torah Academy and in Kohelet Yeshiva and add learning, ruach, and fun everywhere they go.  Your support helps to keep these programs alive and helps to keep the love and relevance of Israel as a constant in our children.

Baruch & Noa Kempinski

We are Noa and Baruch Kempinski.


We came to Lower Merion from Yerushalayim, Givat Mordechai, where we were involved in education- Noa was a teacher at Ulpenat Talia, and Baruch taught at Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi.


We are so happy to have arrived in such a warm, vibrant community that is deeply connected to Israel!
