The Jewish Youth Promise, an initiative of The Jewish Future Promise, recently surpassed 10,000 young adult signatures from the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi and 30,000 overall youth signatures, the organization announced on March 26.
“Seeing 10,000 AEPi brothers and surpassing 30,000 total signers is inspiring and powerful,” said Josh Schalk, AEPi alumnus and executive director of The Jewish Future Promise. “Now more than ever, it’s crucial that we stand together and take action to preserve and strengthen the Jewish future.”
A first-of-its-kind global initiative for teens and young adults between 13 and 24, The Jewish Youth Promise encourages Jewish youth worldwide to commit to being active, contributing members of their communities. It is designed to strengthen ties between Jewish youth organizations and their alumni.
Signing the promise means one answers the call “to actively contribute their unique talents in a range of ways to build up their local communities and global Jewry,” the organization said.
“Reaching this milestone of 10,000 Alpha Epsilon Pi brothers signing the Jewish Youth Promise is a testament to the strength and dedication of young Jewish leaders committed to ensuring a vibrant Jewish future,” said Mike Leven, AEPi alumnus and founder of The Jewish Youth Promise. “I am incredibly proud of these young men for making this promise and stepping up to be the future of our people.”
