The Semel - Icon
The wheat gains its place on the Semel of Bnei Akiva as part of the Sheva Minim, and it also represents the agricultural side of Bnei Akiva's ideology of Torah Va'avodah. The olive branch represents the peace that we hope all Jews will live together by. The sythe and fork represent the tools used to work the Land of Israel The luchot represents the Torah. This is the book by which the Jewish religion is based and is governed by. The Semel has on it a Tav and Ayin, standing fro Torah and Avodah. To live in the land of Israel requires knowledge of the Torah and a knowledge of working the land.
All these symbols are enclosed in the wrapping of Bnei Akiva , literally meaning the Children of Akiva. This is referring to Rabbi Akiva who lived at the time of the destruction of the second temple (70 CE). We call ourselves by his name because of his actions and love of Torah.
This machine is only brought out for very special occasions, conferences, exhibitions, etc. 8/13/11
