Students

The Judaism Learning Accelerator has given me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of my faith and culture like never before. The innovative approach to learning has made Judaism studies exciting and relevant to my life.

I had a chance to be myself without any filter.

I really loved the way in which the AJU Rabbis and teachers were teaching, and the way they welcomed me into their classrooms, offices, and homes.

I am very proud of myself for overcoming my challenges of stepping out of my comfort zone and reconnecting with my faith.

As an educator, I love providing the classroom environment to wander and wonder.

Being a teacher allows me to combine my passion for community work with my belief in making a positive impact on the world.

I can not help but feel pride in seeing the next generation of parents knowing I had a hand in setting the foundation.

I could have never imagined that I would be on the path to a rabbinical career, but thanks to brave Queer folks and allies who have fought before me to expand the imaginations of the fearful, here I am, and a big part of my mission in this life is to hold the door open for the next Queer person that is going to come after me, in the same way that a door was built and held open for me.

I love the way the Judaism Learning Accelerator combines the traditional aspects of Judaism education with modern technology. It's the perfect blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge knowledge.

It has been so amazing to be supported by the staff and other participants.

I never thought I would be able to earn college credits while still in high school, but the Judaism Learning Experience has made it possible. I'm so grateful for the hands-on learning experiences and the chance to connect with other Judaism students.

The Judaism Learning Accelerator has given me the confidence and skills I need to succeed in the future. I feel prepared for college and beyond, and I'm proud to be part of such a dynamic and innovative program.

I enjoyed every day at BCI: singing, dancing, learning, reflecting, meditating, laughing, walking, swimming, and making art. Gianina, 27 - London, UK

I find great inspiration and optimism for the future of the Judaism community as I watch these young individuals evolve into compassionate and empathetic members of society.
