Designed to help train and inspire our Jewish leaders of tomorrow, the Ruth E. Cohan AKIVA program is based on a three year curriculum for 10th-12th graders: Ethics, Communication, and Leadership. Course sessions also include in depth discussions of current world events and how they impact the Jewish community.
Participants are challenged to develop an ethical value-based
leadership style to help make their community a better place,
and also to ensure Judaism survives the intricacies of modern
society.
