From Beneficiary to Builder. Come Full Circle.Dear Friends,In this critical moment for Jewish communities across America, the Jewish Parent Academy stands ready to expand our transformative work to new horizons—bringing more Russian-speaking Jewish families into meaningful connection with their heritage and strengthening the broader American Jewish community.For ten years, JPA has created spaces where Russian-speaking Jewish families rediscover their heritage with profound pride and passion. What began as a grassroots experiment with 25 people in Brooklyn has grown into a thriving national network of local chapters reaching nearly 3,000 people annually. We've built communities where parents become empowered educators, passing the flame of Jewish identity to their children.This year, we focus to launching more chapters while maintaining year round programming in and growing our existing communities.
