Tel Aviv branches of the Bnei Akiva and Ezra youth movements have decided to join the Ofek Torah core group for a central all-night study session for the Shavuot holiday Tuesday evening at the Smuts Street synagogue. Until a few years ago, the different branches each held their own study session.
A Bnei Akiva coordinator told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew service that the Torah-based groups will be joined by the Scouts and Hashomer Hatza'ir movements, young children and adults. She added that a learning program has been developed to suit everyone, including secular Israelis, noting, "This creates a bond among the people of Israel."
