AJU Community Mikvah

The AJU Community Mikvah welcomes Jews of all denominations to partake in this sacred ritual.

BCI

BCI is a multi-day retreat where Jewish people in their 20s and 30s can disconnect from their day-to-day and reconnect with themselves in nature.

Thanks to a generous gift from Virginia and Frank Maas, Maas Center inspires thousands to explore their relationship to Judaism. Our work is made possible by a dedicated team of educators, led by Rabbi Tarlan Rabizadeh.
