Immersive Jewish Service-Learning
Urban Adamah 
Urban Adamah (“earth” in Hebrew) is a community organic farm and Jewish environmental education center located in Berkeley, CA. Our farm is run by groups of young adults who participate in a three-month residential leadership training program called the Urban Adamah Fellowship. The Fellowship integrates urban organic farming, direct social justice work and progressive Jewish living and learning. Urban Adamah Fellows operate the farm, teach programs to farm visitors that combine sustainable agriculture and Jewish tradition, and serve as interns at local community organizations that address issues of poverty and food security. Twelve Urban Adamah fellows are selected each spring, summer and fall to participate in the Urban Adamah Fellowship. All produce grown on our farm is distributed to members of the community in need primarily through churches and local food banks.
Uri L’Tzedek
Uri L’Tzedek is an Orthodox social justice organization guided by Torah values and dedicated to combating suffering and oppression. Through community based education, leadership development and action, Uri L’Tzedek creates discourse, inspires leaders, and empowers the Jewish community towards creating a more just world.
Uri L’Tzedek’s Summer Fellowship Program is an opportunity to work alongside our staff and board, experiencing the many mechanisms that come together to create an effective non-profit organization, gaining exposure to communal Jewish life, effecting change, and learning Torah, social justice philosophy, and community organizing models.
Alternately, our semester long University Fellowship will provide 10 students with the mentorship and tools to create social change on your campus and bring social justice to the forefront of your community’s consciousness.
Yahel 
Yahel, in Hebrew “illuminate,” was founded with the belief that service learning, when done right, can connect people, shed light on real life issues, illuminate personal journeys and promote social change.
The Yahel Social Change Program is a unique 9-month service learning experience for young adults between the ages of 21 and 27. The program is based in the town of Gedera, about 45 minutes south of Tel Aviv, and combines hands-on volunteer work with in-depth learning and immersion. The program is offered in collaboration with Friends by Nature – a local grassroots non-profit organization working in the Ethiopian community in the fields of community empowerment and education. Throughout the program participants live, volunteer and learn alongside their peers in a predominantly Ethiopian Israeli neighborhood.
Yeshiva University Center for the Jewish Future
The Center for the Jewish Future, founded in 2005, draws on Yeshiva University’s rich intellectual resources to renew and refresh, strengthen and support, and inspire and energize Jewish communities in North America and around the world.
Service-learning programs are available only to students of Yeshiva University.
