Generation to Generation Jewish Leaders and Professional Development Fellowship
A ten week course exploring Judaism and Jewish leadership and professional development. This course includes not only educational classes by rabbis and Jewish communal leaders, but various weekend trips getting acquainted with various Jewish communities. Upon successful completion of the program students earn a free trip to Israel.

 

Advanced G2G
For participants who have completed the G2G program, reunite with old friends to continue exploring ancient wisdom, over fresh food. Also experience two Shabbat getaways.

 

Jewish Ping Pong
Join a small group of students and a rabbi or a knowledge professional as we toss around Jewish ideas in a light, fun, relaxed atmosphere. Dinner will be served.

 

Torah Slam
Similar to a poetry slam, students compete presenting a four-minute Torah thought on various different themes, e.g. Jewish continuity, Israel, social action, etc. The audience will rate the participants based on entertainment, content and delivery. Winner receives a prize.

 

Pillars
Wisdom, leadership and action are the three pillars of this program. Wisdom: Spend 45 minutes per week studying one-on-one or with a small group; any Jewish topic of your choice. Leadership: Attend a weekly dinner with fellow participants where we meet and mingle with Jewish leaders in business, politics, medicine, art and law. Action: Participate in existing social action programs, or fill a need that is not yet being addressed.

 

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Program
For students who have never had a bar/bat mitzvah, or for students who want to do it again in a more meaningful way, we provide 5 free classes and a bar/bat mitzvah ceremony for family and friends at the end of the semester.

 

Havdalah Parties
Join us for a meaningful 50 minute ceremony followed by dinner, good people and good time.
