Birkat Chaverim
We had some good feedback from a Hanukkah Bat Mitzvah (Mazal Tov L.H.!) which used the Bnei Akiva bencher with an extra feature. The Bnei Akiva bencher doesn't include Hanukkah texts ordinarily, so for this bat mitzvah, which included lighting the Hanukkah candles as part of the celebration, we added the blessings and Maoz Tzur to th ...
I have been thinking about this for a while. I hate waste and I know that lots of people are not interested in saving things like I do. For instance, I actually save invitations that I get for weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah etc. I probably get that from my grandfather who used to save birth announcements and give them to the person in question at their weddi ...
We have been asked a few times whether it would be possible to order less than the 100 minimum set in the online ordering process. We set the minimum order at 100 at the request of our printer/distributor to make life a little easier for their fulfillment and printing process. We have, however, been able to meet this request on occasion, depending on th ...
Someone interested in ordering benchers recently asked us about what the Bnei Akiva birkon contains content-wise. I therefore thought it would be a good idea to include a picture of the table of contents. In English the sections are as follows: Grace After Meals Wedding Blessings Brit Milah Blessings Shabbat Introduction Candle Lighting Friday Ev ...
For the Bnei Akiva birkonim I have links to templates in illustrator and photoshop to allow people to prepare their files themselves. However, not everyone has these software programs. Is it still possible to prepare files yourself? YES! You just need to make sure that the files are appropriate print resolution (300dpi) and appropriate dimensions. The p ...
We have two new Hanukkah bencher covers. On facebook I showed the blue one, which is very closely related to the Maoz Tzur book in the shop. This is an attempt to try some other colors. I very rarely use red. Not sure how I like it yet but if anyone has any suggestions for new color combinations, I'm happy to hear them. I find that many many people ask ...
I made a small change to how the Bnei Akiva benchers are listed on the website. Up until now the store had an additional option in the order options to order a "Custom Order." Our intention there was that if someone did not want to use some of the existing designated designs or provide their own artwork, they could choose a custom designed logo option f ...
Recently we had an order where a customer wanted to use a simple blue cover with simcha information in white. While this sounds like a very simple thing, it actually is rather complicated. Have you ever noticed that looking at the same website on your computer does not look the same on another person's computer? Each device has its own way of interpreti ...
Now that wedding season is approaching, I wanted to take the opportunity to remind readers who may be interested in purchasing the Bnei Akiva birkon for a family celebration, that there are lots of cover designs available to choose from. These can be freely used on your Bnei Akiva bencher cover with your personal information. There are options for color ...
This post is intended as a resource for people who are interested in promoting the Bnei Akiva bencher project. The Bnei Akiva Bencher project is a way for local Bnei Akiva Glilim to fundraise when their members have smachot. I am including links in this post to some materials that will be useful towards this purpose. Feel free to be in touch if you need ...
