ABIR YAAKOV - Youth Division

​In 2020 a group of youth came together and started discussing how they felt that there was no synagogue that catered to their needs. They were looking to build a synagogue and series of programs that would help them grow in their Judaism, stay true to their roots, create lasting bonds and foster a love for Torah true Judaism, all in a fun and inclusive environment. With the encouragement of several Rabbis and community leaders, Abir Yaakov was born.
