Alliance Community Reboot

Alliance Community Reboot (ACRe), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is rebuilding Jewish farm-based community in South New Jersey, on  the site of the Alliance Colony, the first Jewish agricultural society in North America.ACRe is building an active farm rooted in the values of sustainability, food justice and Jewish education. The farmhouse, nearby historic Alliance Synagogue and surrounding 60 acres of fields and woodland serve as a Jewish cultural and educational hub for neighboring communities.William and Malya Levin first conceived of Alliance Community Reboot in 2014. As the great-great grandson of Moses Bayuk, leader of the Alliance Colony, William had never truly connected with his Jewish agricultural roots or the ancestral farmland his family still owned. Inspired by their first visit to the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center for Sukkahfest, William and Malya realized they had the potential to contribute to the Jewish farming movement, which has experienced  a resurgence among the younger generation of American Jews.
