Academy for Jewish Religion, California - Serving as  Bridge between the pillars of Judiasm





Support AJR CA's mission to serve the Jewish Community

From Strength To Strength: Supporting The Academy
AJR, CA operates in the most streamlined and efficient manner possible and our financial management reflects that philosophy. Over two-thirds of our annual budget is generated by student tuition with the remainder coming from Board of Directors’ donations, individual contributions and grants from foundations.

Our donors represent the Jewish community in its entirety; religious and secular, Ashkenazi and Sephardic, men and women, young and old. What unites them is their belief that the work being done by the Academy will help Judaism to flourish now and in the future.

Your support of AJR, CA will help us to make a real and needed impact on the American Jewish community and it is deeply appreciated!

The Doreen and Louis Gerber Annual Memorial Scholarship
Recognizing the financial burden that some students incur in pursuing their dream of becoming rabbis, cantors and chaplains, the Doreen and Louis Gerber Annual Memorial Scholarship has been established to help defray those costs. The Scholarship, funded by Academy Board Member Selwyn Gerber and his wife, Glynis, provides $2,000 annually to needy students.
