Students

Jewish early childhood education has provided me the playground (pun very much intended!) to integrate my passions for Jewish learning, STEAM in education, and true inclusion.

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

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.

The Jewish 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.

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

The Jewish 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 Jewish studies exciting and relevant to my life.

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

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

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

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