ALIYA

Aliya is the first Chabad House in the world that was set up to do “Inreach” instead of Outreach!

Established in 2003, A.L.I.Y.A. (Alternative Learning Institute for Young Adults) has been committed to serving spiritual, physical, educational, emotional and vocational needs of young adults in the Brooklyn Jewish community.

In 2006, the board of A.L.I.Y.A. successfully found a permanent location on E New York Ave which enabled A.L.I.Y.A. To consolidate its activities into one central location and provide a local ‘round the clock’ center for young adults. Since its purchase, the building has undergone extensive construction in order to better facilitate all its programs.

1) Spirituality: growing up in a tight-knit religious community religion plays a very large role in day to day life. Many young adults in these communities have become isolated and don't fit in the mainstream religious structure. Aliya has created a warm welcoming and user-friendly approach to traditional Shabbos and Yomtov services as well as personalized learning that make everyone feel their place and sense of belonging.
