Our goal is to provide a platform where every member can thrive personally, professionally, and spiritually, contributing to the vibrancy and vitality of our community.

At CYP, authenticity is our cornerstone. We champion genuine expressions of Judaism, sincere connections, and the discovery of one's authentic self. Our focus is on empowering young Jewish professionals as they embark on the journey of shaping their unique Jewish identities. We provide a supportive environment where individuals can explore, question, and embrace their heritage, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose within our community.


Our Vision

We firmly believe that Judaism and the connection with G-d are journeys that should be dynamic, deeply personal, and profoundly sincere. Our vision is to make Jewish experiences not only relevant but also exciting, soulful, and inviting. At CYP, we aspire to be more than just a community - we aim to be your family and your home.

Our mission is to empower young Jewish professionals to make a difference in their local communities and, by extension, the world. We believe in harnessing the collective power of our members to effect positive change and create a better future for all. Join us in our journey to make a lasting impact and shape a world filled with compassion, justice, and understanding.

Meet The Team

Rabbi Yisrael New
Rabbi & Director

A proud native of Atlanta, Rabbi Yisrael New has returned to his hometown with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm, ready to make a meaningful impact within the CYP family.

Having cultivated a deep connection with the Jewish land during his studies in Israel, Rabbi Yisrael embarked on his journey to become a Rabbi, earning his Rabbinical Ordination at Machon Menachem in Boca Raton, FL. Driven by his passion for Jewish outreach, he dedicated himself to serving as the program coordinator of Chabad of Georgia and the director of Kosher Food and Wine Atlanta.

Now, Rabbi Yisrael is turning his lifelong dream into reality by establishing a vibrant Jewish community center catering to young professionals in Atlanta.

Affectionately known as "the Match Rabbi," Rabbi Yisrael has a knack for bringing together young adults and helping them build Jewish homes throughout Atlanta.

When he's not immersed in his rabbinical duties, Rabbi Yisrael enjoys staying active, whether it's playing pickleball or cheering on his beloved hometown Braves as they hit home runs.
