BINA means “Wisdom” in Hebrew. It is also a Hebrew acronym for “A Home for the Creation of the Nation’s Soul,” a term coined by the Hebrew poet Haim Nachman Bialik. Since 1996, BINA has been a vibrant center for Jewish learning and Tikkun Olam, the Jewish notion of repairing the world.
BINA’s innovative programs for young adults, including its flagship projects, the Secular Yeshiva and BINA Bashchuna, are based on three elements:
- Jewish Study
- Social Action and Social Justice
- Community and Leadership
