The JPA cohort program is a groundbreaking grassroots initiative designed by and for Russian-speaking Jewish (RSJ) parents to reclaim their heritage through immersive, high-level Jewish education. Led by an illustrious faculty of world-class scholars and educators, the program offers a flagship curriculum that transforms parents into empowered educators capable of igniting Jewish identity in their own children. These cohorts serve as a vital predictor for future engagement in Jewish life, advocacy, and philanthropy, while simultaneously cultivating leaders who take on prominent roles in major American Jewish organizations and corporate spaces. By combining intellectual rigor with community-building events like Shabbat celebrations and volunteer opportunities, the program successfully bridges the gap between Soviet-era disconnection and authentic, modern American Jewish engagement.
