Aliya is celebrating 20 years of “Inreach”! In honor of our 20 year anniversary and mikva ribbon cutting we are celebrating with a grand gala dinner, and concert. In addition, the very generous donors that have helped us reach this milestone have stepped up to the plate and are matching every donation that comes in from now until the dinner. Every dollar that comes to this page will be doubled! And every donation above $770 will grant you one seat for the gala dinner!

Aliya was established in 2002. A.L.I.Y.A. (Alternative Learning Institute for Young Adults) has been committed to serving the spiritual, physical, educational, emotional, and vocational needs of young adults in Crown Heights since its inception. 

At Aliya we offer many invaluable activities geared to provide a loving and accepting space for our members. This includes:

• Tuesday night basketball
• Sponsered therapy sessions
• Friday Tefillin booth 
• Thursday night farbrengens
• daily lunch-and-learns
• nightly dinners and shiurim 
• Shabbos and Yom Tov meals 
• job connections
• inspirational speakers 
• winter and summer shabbatons
• Aliya couples workshops 

Our newest initiatives include a younger division for under 18’s, and we recently launched Aliya couples, offering programs for the community’s next generation of Jewish families. Local youth and young adults visit Aliya for guidance in all aspects of life, including career navigation, spiritual and emotional well-being, and most importantly, a loving community. 

The newest addition to Aliya is the beautifully modernized, luxurious Mikva. Designed to be used by one person at a time, it is a revolutionary concept. Built-in loving memory of our Aliya member Moishe Deitsch, the ribbon cutting will be a hallmark moment of the gala event. 

We do not just save lives, we make them! Join us to celebrate 20 years of connection and community.
