Using selective enrollment, we will identify future community leaders and provide them with the skills they need to change the antisemitism narrative. By committing to our program, the next generation of Jewish leaders will embody Jewish pride, and be prepared to overcome bullying, aggression, and hatred wherever they go. They will no longer accept being a victim, but welcome their Jewish identity as an undeniable strength.
