We are fortunate to have a dynamic young couple at UOS serving as our youth advisors. Yoni and Einat Bahat are shlichim from Israel who run our Bnei Akiva snif (chapter) as well as supervising our other youth programs.

Yoni was raised on Moshav Tekuma and was a madrich in Bnei Akiva for three years. After high school, he studied at the Otneil Yeshiva and served in the Golani division of the Israeli Army. After leaving the army, he served as a tour guide and director of education for a tour company. He graduated from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem with degrees in geology and environmental studies.

Einat was born in Jerusalem and was a madricha in Bnei Akiva for three years. In Sheirut Leumi (National Service) she was a guide for training groups of Bnei Akiva from England and South America. Einat studied history and sociology at the Hebrew University and worked for four years as a teacher in the Or Torah High School for girls in Ramot, Jerusalem.

Yoni and Einat have three children, daughter Noam, son Dror and their newest addition Shira.
