Youth Harmonizing the
Past and the Forever
JAPS is a safe, judgment-free space designed for kids and teens to connect with Hashem in ways they never imagined. Here we show that spirituality isn't only found in traditional places, but in everyday experiences; that's why we connect through music, lights, bonfires, great food, dancing, singing, pool matches, Xbox tournaments, unforgettable shabbatons and epic trips to Valle de Bravo or the United States. At JAPS you'll realize that the Torah isn't a book of “old-school” stories, but a living guide that speaks your own language, in a place where you can be 100% yourself without being judged. But you'll only be able to connect this way if you come to JAPS!
Behind JAPS
I'm Rab Sion Jaimes, someone passionate about giving out smiles, talking with everyone and seeing people happy. Alongside my wife Miriam —my great pillar, anchor and guide to draw closer to Hashem every day— we decided to transform the reality of our youth.
It all began when a group of kids, bored, went looking for fun in places that only brought confusion and pain. That's how JAPS was born: we bought a small speaker, a light on Mercado Libre and, with just four kids and some pizzas, we created a refuge.
Today, that dream is growing to show young people that you can enjoy music and community while you truly live, play and connect with Hashem.
