What Bnei Akiva of Chicago does
Mission
Bnei Akiva Chicago provides high quality Religious Zionist education and programming for youth and their families throughout the Chicagoland community. Based on the principles of Torah vAvodah, we encourage aliyah, love of the Jewish people, and love of Israel.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Bnei Akiva programs offer weekly lectures and activities to 50 - 100 children ranging from 12 years old to 18 years old. These activities offered on weekends, allow the children to immerse themselves in Torah v'Avodah. Aliyah is encouraged, love of the Jewish people, and love of Israel. Due to the continue threat of Covid -19 in 2021, Bnei Akiva has had to cancel most of its weekly lectures and activities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $28k to $60k (+117%).
