Amishav

Logo

On the website of Amishav [retrieved] I found the photo of a boy of the Bnei Menashe tribe holding a self-made Israeli national flag and the flag of the Amishav organization.
Martin Karner, 19 October 2004

The logo, by the way, is a combination of the Hebrew letter Ayin (ע) and the English A (the first letter in the name of the organization in both languages) combined to form a Star of David (I suppose the extra thin line is added to complete the star).
Nathan Lamm, 19 October 2004

Amishav (= My people are returning) is a religious non-profitable organization operating mainly in India and Spanish speaking countries.
Dov Gutterman, 19 October 2004

The Israeli organizations, Amishav is one of them, are helping the Menashes to relocate to Israel, re-convert and settle there.
Israeli government doesn't want to aggravate the Indians and keeps quite on the subject of the New Jerusalem state, however temporary it might be.

"פרויקט תגלית" (English: Discovery Project) colloquially known as "תגלית" (English: Discovery) (romanized as Taglit), also referred to as "זכות אבות" (English: Patriarchal right) and even known as "Birthright Israel" is a not-for-profit educational organization that sponsors free ten-day heritage trips to Israel, Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights for young adults of Jewish heritage, aged 18–32 in order to strengthen ties of the Jewish Diaspora with its homeland. It has its roots as far back as 1994 although it was formally established in December, 1999 and the first trips were conducted in 2000.

Variant

Logo

The flag is a blue horizontal background with the logo in the middle and below the name in both Hebrew and English in white capitals.

Bnei Akiva (Hebrew: בְּנֵי עֲקִיבָא, English: "Children of Akiva") is the largest religious Zionist youth movement in the world, with over 125'000 members in 37 (other sources mention 42) countries and 43 cities (chapters and/or branches). It was first established in Mandatory Palestine on May 28, 1929, advocating the values of Torah and labor.
Bnei Akiva in Israel is the central youth movement of the religious Zionist public and the third-largest youth movement in Israel.

There seems to be several organizations (i.e. confederations) that use the name Bnei Akiva and thus use different logos, and perhaps different flags, like:
