Barrack Hebrew Academy Citadel Yearbook Collection - Hide Description - Welcome to the Barrack Hebrew Academy's Citadel Yearbook Collection, a part of the Access Pennsylvania Digital Repository.

Akiba Hebrew Adacemy, currently known as Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, the first community-wide secondary Jewish day school in the United States, was founded in 1946 by a group of public-minded Jewish citizens, lay and professional, who were deeply concerned about preparing students to assume responsibility in their community as leaders and active citizens. Uppermost in their minds was to create a dynamic community of educated graduates who would help insure the survival of the Jewish people and Judaism after the Holocaust. The yearbook, The citadel, records the history of the institution.
