This month, Bnei Akiva Cape Town had our second Chesed Day of the year.
Madrichim and Channichim came together early on a Sunday morning to create farming beds in a small-scale South African farm which will be used to grow vegetables and feed the local community. Farmer Nonza told us that our work saved her six weeks of hard labour! Thank you to Mensch and the South African Urban Food and Farming Trust for helping us co-ordinate the day, as well as the amazing madrichim and chanichim who made this Chesed Day a reality!
Grade 11 channie, Feigie Shaman, gave her thoughts on Bnei Akiva as a movement, “I think Bnei Akiva is the most amazing organisation. I feel comfortable with everyone there, and I also strongly stand for their values. Bnei allows channies to build connections and leadership skills, and provides unique opportunities. I love Bnei and I am so grateful for it!”
As the month comes to an end, we are all patiently awaiting Winter Camp headed by Jethro Klitzner, in his role as Rosh Winter Camp, and Eden Lipshitz as Sgan. When asked how she is feeling about Winter Camp, Eden said, “Winter Camp 2023 is going to be unforgettable! I am absolutely pumped to treat all the channichim to the best five days filled with games, music and even a bit of mischief. I am totally looking forward to sitting around the bonfire and creating the best memories with the best people!”
