Beyahad – Anya Benya is an Israeli youth movement whose aim is to give all young people across the country equal opportunity for growth and positive engagement, and to instill in them a belief in their own potential. The movement aims to connect young people from all segments of Israeli society based on the conviction that investment in the lives and experiences of youth instills a true sense of belonging in an entire generation of citizens and encourages them to contribute meaningfully to society and to their homeland.
Founded in 2017, the movement began its activities with youth in 2019 in the Amit Youth Village in Petah Tikva. The movement’s founder, Barak Avraham, is a social-business entrepreneur and owner of the “From Survival to Leadership” project. He is also a social activist who works to empower youth for the sake of creating a diverse and cohesive Israeli society.
Our vision combines the goals of our movement and its code of ethics.
Beyahad – Anya Benya strives to connect young people from the vast range of sectors of Israeli society, to empower its participants by instilling leadership qualities, shaping a cohesive identity amongst them and giving them a sense of belonging. Through our work we are creating a just and culturally and socially diverse Israeli society.
Beyahad – Anya Benya sees its participants as the future generation that will lead Israeli society towards inclusivity and empowerment.
The movement focuses on identifying and strengthening a variety of aspects of its participants’ private, group and shared identities to strengthen a sense of self-worth, raise confidence and bring young people together as a group through teamwork and collaboration. We believe that by focusing on individual participant’s strengths and unique qualities, we strengthen the entire group.
The movement works to empower its participants, to instill in them a positive worldview, and to find and develop their leadership qualities and abilities.
The movement sees each one of its participants as a social leader and encourages participants to work together towards making real social change.
The movement connects teens from all walks of Israeli society based on the belief that working together in a real and non-judgmental manner will lead to a more tolerant and stronger society.

The vision of Beyahad – Anya Benya is founded on youth leadership development. Youth leading youth. Our movement aspires to empower adolescents to establish a unified Israeli society.
We see the movement’s activists as social leaders, playing an active and significant part in Israeli society, contributing to our society and country, volunteering, enlisting in the army, taking civic responsibility, and acting as role models.
We believe that to create a consolidated and resilient Israeli society, there is a need to develop in the youth a cohesive self and a sense of belonging, simultaneously with the encouragement for implementing practical responsibility, first, for themselves, and gradually in growing circles, for their community and environment.
In order to convey educational values to the activists and create a sense of self-efficacy, the movement organizes a variety of enjoyable and experiential activities, such as hiking, field trips, and extreme outdoor activities.
The first branch of the movement and its training center began its operation in the Amit Youth Village in Petah Tikva in 2019. In less than three years, and despite the hardships of the Coronavirus pandemic, three more branches have been opened in Netanya, Ashkelon, and Hadera. Since the opening of the very first branch, dozens of girls and boys have been participating in the ongoing activities. With the help of the youth activists in the movement, we aspire to extend the circle of the positive impact of adolescents on the neighborhood, city, and Israeli society (as a whole).
On a more personal note, I have complete faith that once we provide each boy and girl with the needed tools and equip them with the necessary skills, and mainly – when we put our trust in them, the youth rise, flourish, and can change their reality as the reality of their surroundings. A youth that takes responsibility and is committed to personal and communal change will become an impactful factor in Israeli society and a source of pride for our country.
“The future generation takes responsibility.”
With kind regards,
Barak Avraham, founder and CEO
