- Alma Samet, Alumni of '24

"El Al has made me realize that Judaism can be so much more than just going to synagogue. In El Al, shabbat is always a blast. We do the prayers, and we add a little spin on it to make it funny and joyous. I love being in a tight circle with all of my friends because it makes me feel integrated into the Jewish community in my area. Overall, my relationship with Judaism has grown positively, and I am so grateful!"

- Michaela Rubinsky, 11th grader

"El Al connects me to Judaism because I get to light havdallah candles every week and sing blessings. I keep in touch with my faith every week in a really fun way because I get to do that with all of my friends. It's also great to have a community of Jews around you every week when there might not necessarily be a lot of Jews at school to relate to."
