Frequently Asked Questions: Who can join JPA? We welcome Jewish adults and their partners. While many participants are Russian-speaking parents of children aged 0-23, we encourage you to reach out at 347-885-5571 if you don’t fit this criteria. What is the JPA Cohort Program? Our flagship program consists of 10-12 classes held every two weeks. Each session focuses on a Jewish topic and is taught by leading scholars and thinkers in the field. Do I need to attend all classes? We recognize that occasional conflicts may arise, but participants are expected to attend all classes whenever possible. The JPA curriculum is intentionally designed so that each session offers a distinct and meaningful learning experience while also building toward a strong, connected cohort. Is this program only for parents? No. While many participants are parents, the program focuses on Jewish heritage and learning rather than parenting. It's valuable for any Jewish adult interested in connecting with their heritage and community. What is JPA's background? JPA is an independent grassroots organization founded by Russian-speaking Jewish parents in Brooklyn in 2015. Run by an all-RSJ team, we have no political or religious agenda beyond making Jewish heritage accessible. While non- partisan, we are proudly pro-Israel.
