[סמל עיריית תל אביב]
[סמל תנועת הנוער בני עקיבא]

שדרת הנצחה לזכרם של חניכי בני עקיבא
מסניפי תל־אביב צפון ותל־אביב מרכז שנפלו במערכות ישראל להגנת העם והארץ ובפעולות האיבה

יַד אַחִים לָכֶם שְׁלוּחָה, הַנֹּעַר הֶחָבִיב
עַל דִּגְלֵנוּ כֻּלְּכֶם, חֲנוּ מִסָּבִיב
יַזְהִיר לָכֶם כּוֹכַב תּוֹרָה
דַּרְכְּכֶם סוּגָה בָּעֲבוֹדָה
בְּלֵב אַמִּיץ וּבְעֶזְרַת ה´, עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה!
קָדִימָה בְּנֵי-עֲקִיבָא, הֵידָד בַּמַּעֲלֶה!

מוֹלֶדֶת זוֹ, אֶרֶץ אָבוֹת, אַרְצֵנוּ הַקְּדוֹשָׁה
מִידֵי אַבִּיר-יַעֲקֹב לָנוּ מוֹרָשָׁה
רָאשֵׁינוּ בְּעִמְקֵי תּוֹרָתָהּ
כַּפֵּינוּ בְּרִגְבֵי אַדְמָתָהּ
בְּלֵב אַמִּיץ וּבְעֶזְרַת ה´, עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה!
קָדִימָה בְּנֵי-עֲקִיבָא, הֵידָד בַּמַּעֲלֶה!

מילים: משה צבי נריה (מנקין)

On the sign located at the "Bnei Akiva" Yarkon branch appears the anthem of the religious Zionist youth movement "Bnei Akiva" – Yad Achim.

The sign replaced a previous one that had been in place until about a month before the inauguration of this new sign and was photographed two months before the current sign was documented.

The memorial corner and the Bnei Akiva branch where it is located were photographed on the same day (one day after the inauguration of the sign).

(Note the last name on the list: Ze’ev Chanokh (“Jabo”) Ehrlich, whose death sparked controversy in Israel. Ehrlich, 70 years old, joined a Golani unit operating in Lebanon. He joined as a civilian, as an amateur archaeologist, apparently in violation of regulations. In the skirmish in which he was killed, soldier Gur Kehati also fell. Ehrlich was posthumously enlisted into the IDF, a move some claim was made to prevent investigation of the incident.
It is unclear when he was a member of the Bnei Akiva branch in Tel Aviv, since he lived in the settlement of Ofra in the West Bank. It is possible that he was a member as a child, since he was born in Tel Aviv.)

Translation of the text on the sign:
[Emblem of the Tel Aviv Municipality]
[Emblem of the Bnei Akiva Youth Movement]

Memorial Avenue
In memory of Bnei Akiva youth
from the North Tel Aviv and Central Tel Aviv branches
who fell in Israel’s wars for the defense of the people and the land,
and in acts of terror

YAD ACHIM (A Brotherly Hand)

A brotherly hand to you is extended, beloved youth!
Around our banner, all of you, gather round!
A star of Torah will shine for you,
Your path paved in labor and toil.
With a brave heart and with God’s help – upward we shall go!
Forward Bnei Akiva – onward in ascent!

This homeland, our ancestors’ land, our holy land,
From the hands of Jacob’s noble knight we have inherited it.
Our heads immersed in its Torah depths,
Our hands in the clods of its soil.
With a brave heart and with God’s help – upward we shall go!
Forward Bnei Akiva – onward in ascent!

Lyrics: Moshe Zvi Neria (Mankin)
