As part of the week of remembrance marking the events of October 7, and in memory of Staff Sergeant Ido Shamia, may his memory be a blessing, whose legacy inspired the establishment of Puzzle Israel Pre-Military Academy, representatives of the academy took part this morning in a 7.1-kilometer run, together with the Caesarea Development Corporation and Uri Shamia, Ido’s father.

Puzzle Israel was founded in Ido’s memory, a fallen Israeli hero who gave his life in battle. This morning, his memory came alive once again through every step, every encounter, and the path we shared together.

We ran to remember Ido and his courage, to remember the events of that day and all those we lost, and above all, to remind ourselves that remembrance also carries responsibility: to continue building a better, more connected, and more caring society here.

Thank you to the Shamia family, to Uri, and to the Caesarea Development Corporation for this meaningful morning.

May Ido’s memory be a blessing. 💚

Cohort 2 of Mechinat Nahariya is underway! 💙

This week, we were excited to open the second year of the BINA Mechina Leadership Academy in Nahariya in the memory of Lova Eliav .

A new group of young women and men is embarking on a journey of learning, social action, getting to know Israeli society, shared living, and preparing for meaningful military or national service.

After last year, the first cohort of the Mechina that laid down the foundations, it is incredibly exciting to see the academy continue to grow and put down roots in Nahariya and throughout the North of the country. 🌱

We also want to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to Migdal and Shinua Hevrati for donating furniture to the academy. 🙏

Your contribution is about so much more than furniture: it enables us to create a welcoming environment for our participants, and helps us continue our educational and social work for the benefit of Nahariya and the North.

A huge thank you, and best of luck to Cohort 2! 💙

A New Year Begins at Home ❤️

Rosh Hashanah is just around the corner, bringing with it the Jewish holidays of the month of Tishrei. Thousands of Israelis are far from Israel- traveling across Southeast Asia and South America- but their hearts are always turned toward home.
That’s why we created BINA Centers: a place to meet, pause, breathe, connect with Jewish-Israeli identity, celebrate together, and feel at home- even thousands of miles away.

Over the past year, as demand continued to grow, we doubled the number of BINA Houses around the world, from 6 to 13. In each one, Israelis can take part in holiday gatherings, Shabbat dinners, learning, cultural events, and community activities- all in the spirit of an open, pluralistic, and inclusive Israeli identity.
This year, we want to open our doors to even more Israelis and expand our circle of houses and communities around the world. To make this possible, we need your generous support.

Help us continue building homes of Israeli identity, Jewish connection, and community- even far from home.

Last Friday, over 100 ex-Ultra-Orthodox Israelis from all over the country came together for a deeply moving Friday Night Tish, created in partnership with Mehl and his team.
Highlights of the night:
• Traditional Shabbat songs with a live band
• Guided sessions on freedom, tradition, and carrying history forward
• Insightful study led by Shavit Meizel

One participant summed it up best: "You have no idea what this means to these pure souls who just want to spread love and light"
BINA – The Home for Israeli Judaism – is honored to be their home, too

A New Year Begins at Home . 🏠❤️

During the Jewish High Holidays, thousands of Israelis are far from home, traveling across Southeast Asia and South America.

BINA Centers give them a place to pause, connect with their Jewish-Israeli identity, celebrate, and feel at home—even thousands of miles away.

This year, in response to growing demand, we doubled the number of BINA Centers—from 6 to 13 locations around the world.

As the new year begins, we want to keep opening our doors and bringing community, warmth, and a sense of belonging to thousands of Israeli travelers.

Help us open the next BINA Centers . ❤️

Parashat Re'eh reminds us that our choices extend beyond blessing and curse. We are also called to choose between remaining captive to the past and building a better future. Moses teaches that true vision lies not only in what our eyes can see, but in what our hearts can discern, the capacity to remember, to grow, and to carry our values forward. Again and again, the Torah reminds us that when we choose with honesty, courage, and compassion, we open the way to renewal, hope, and a brighter future.

This summer, BINA ran a special course on modern Israel for the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC). Under the leadership of BINA Senior Educator Elliot Vaisrub Glassenberg, the students learned about Israel through its diversity and complexity, meeting with experts and changemakers from diverse groups, including Mizrahi, Ethiopian, and FSU Jewish Israelis, hiloni, masorti and dati Jewish Israelis, as well as Palestinian/Arab citizens of Israel and from the West Bank and Gaza, and others. Through the course, the students explored history, politics, society, religion and culture as well as questions of Judaism and democracy, identity, values, human rights, peoplehood, and the role of North American Jews, especially North American Rabbis, vis-à-vis Israel today.
Thank you to our dear partners at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and Reconstructing Judaism and to all who participated and helped make this program possible.
