The Jewish Spark is based on the philosophy of Ahavat Israel — unconditional love and concern for every Jew regardless of background or affiliation.
We offer spiritual guidance, community outreach and events & education to inspire all Jews to discover their common bond of Jewish faith & observance.
The Jewish Spark’s numerous activities provide the opportunity to promote Jewish knowledge awareness and practice, connecting us to our past, present & future.
