Community Starts Here
Jewish Parent Academy is where Jewish Parents become empowered to raise the next generation of proud and resilient Jews. We are an immersive learning community for Jewish parents who want more - more knowledge, more confidence, more connection to their heritage and their people. Through our signature semester-long cohort program and a growing library of courses, salons, and community events, JPA gives parents the tools and the community to raise the next generation of proud, informed, and engaged Jewish families.
We don't lecture. We learn together. And the conversations that begin in our sessions have a way of continuing at the dinner table, at the Shabbat table, and across generations.
Active in 9 communities across the United States - and growing.
