Avner Akko

"Avner Akko" is a non-profit organization that is based in the heart of the mixed neighborhoods in the city of Akko.

During the last few decades, the Jewish population has left the area, synagogues have closed, and Batei Midrash have moved to different locations. Considering this, in 2014 Rabbi Ahikam Getz founded the Avner Organization, an open Beit Midrash and a pre-IDF preparation academy located in the center of the city.

Our organization was founded with the vision of connecting to the community to Restore a thriving Jewish community in the center of Akko.

We benefit the community through:

• An open Beit Midrash, the Mechinat Avner Pre-IDF Preparation Program.

• Building a vibrant community in the center of the city that includes youth, couples, and young families.

• Community projects, including social impact and inclusion for people with disabilities.

Over the last number of years, The Avner Organization has succeeded in making a positive difference in the community.

Our next goals are to:

• Build a permanent facility to house the Beit Midrash and Mechina, and to purchase apartments to house the dormitories.

• Expand the Beit Midrash to accommodate the program for graduates after they complete their service in the IDF.

• Develop and implement additional social impact programs and facilitate community activism.

We invite you to connect with us and make a difference!
