Chief Rabbi and Head Shliach to Central Africa, Rabbi Shlomo Bentolila visited Aliya Youth Center in Crown Heights this week.
Rabbi Bentolila got a tour of the facilities Director Rabbi Moishe Feiglin and a first hand look at the work of Aliya.
He heard about the upcoming Gala Dinner on Sunday, December 11, and pledged to support Aliya’s work.
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.
There are currently four Rabbis on the Aliya team available around the clock. Local youth and young adults visit Aliya for guidance in all aspects of life, including career navigation, spiritual and emotional wellbeing, 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 Aliya member Moishe Deitsch, the ribbon cutting will be a hallmark moment of the gala event.
The upcoming dinner will feature a wide variety of entertainment. Solos and duets will be performed by renowned headlining artists Benny Friedman and Shulem Lemmer. Simon Jacobson, keynote speaker, will share his thoughts on connection and the power of the youth in our generation.
Continual partners and members Abe White, Lavie Popack, Mordy Fink, and Mendy Boaron will be event honorees.
Their Charidy campaign will run throughout the event and every donation will be doubled by Aliya’s honorees. The night’s entire program will be streamed live for at-home viewing.
At Aliya, they do not just save lives, they make them! Join them as they celebrate 20 years of connection and community. Come in person or watch at home, show how you care for our future.
The event will begin with a mikva ribbon cutting at Aliya followed by their gala dinner and concert at Beis Rivkah 507 East New York Ave, on Sunday, December 11, 17 Kislev at 7:00 PM.
