What is AKLA?

AKLA (Achla - adj. or interj. meaning awesome, excellent, great) is a youth fellowship that connects Jewish teens (ages 12-14) to the incredible cultural contributions of the Jewish community in the areas of technology, medicine, security, and cinema. We showcase the best of Jewish achievements through interactive presentations and hands-on experiences led by expert speakers at each session. Our program aims to inspire students to take pride in their Jewish heritage while helping them chart their own paths for achievement and mitzvahs within the Jewish community. 

Teens who complete our FREE Five-Sunday program will learn when, where, and how the Jewish people have made a lasting impact on the world. Check out our recent cohort videos below.
