AKLA (Hebrew slang for awesome)is a fellowship to connect Jewish teens of bar / bat-mitzvah age (12-14) to the amazing achievements in technology, medicine, security and cinema; within the Jewish community. Teens that complete our five-Sunday B’nai mitzvah program, will come away with a deeper understanding of the awe-inspiring Jewish contributions to their community as well as the world at large. Our program is designed to inspire students pride in their Jewish heritage as well as map out their own course for achievement and mitzvahs in the Jewish Community.
