Bachurei Chemed - BACH Jewish Center is an independent non-profit organization which is dedicated to serving the communities of Long Beach, Lido, Atlantic Beach and Island Park. Found in 1946 by Simon Solomon, the BACH is motivated by a profound love for every Jew with an innovative array of educational and outreach programs, and spiritual, religious and social services to serve Jews from all walks of life. Bachurei Chemed, which means "Selected Youth" epitomizes what our organization represents. With its unique focus on children, the BACH’s vibrant youth movement provides a nurturing place for youth to grow, embrace our rich Jewish heritage and gain the skills and self-confidence they need to become leaders of both the Jewish community and society at large. The BACH's mandate is to serve all Jews with a personalized Jewish experience, regardless of background, belief, or level of commitment.
