A Month of Meaningful Service
This April, the National Days of Jewish Service, themed Roots to Branches – together, we embody the values of being rooted in Jewish learning, branching into action, fostering deep connections, and making a lasting impact in our communities.
April is Global Volunteer Month
Good Deeds Day, on April 6, is a global day for communal acts of kindness.
BBYO J-Serve also on April 6, is an international day of Jewish youth service.
During Passover, April 12 – 20, we reflect on our liberation and create space through Jewish learning to meet the current needs of our communities.
Earth Day on April 22 inspires us to care for our planet.
Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah, on April 24 provides a day to grieve, and reminds us to ensure that history never repeats itself.

Infusing Jewish Values Into Service Programs
Are you running service programs for teens, but aren’t sure how to deepen their understanding of the subject?

Infusing Jewish Values Into Service Programs
Are you running service programs for teens, but aren’t sure how to deepen their understanding of the subject?
“Many of today’s ethical and moral challenges relate to similar big questions our ancestors also encountered… It can be powerful to consult an idea or wisdom generated thousands of years ago to inform conversations we have today.” When planning service programs for teens, consider the importance of service-learning. By rooting your work in issue area context and Jewish values, teens gain a deeper connection to the subject. Reflection is a useful tool to allow your teens to debrief their experiences and how their preconceptions might have shifted. This guide explores ways to infuse meaningful learning into your experience.
Racial Justice
Guide to Respectful Conversations
This guide provides tools to utilize when facilitating a space for difficult conversations surrounding identity.
“The first step in speaking about race and racism, and recognizing how it plays a role in our own lives and communities, is to talk about it openly and honestly.” In this resource you will find tips and tricks for facilitating difficult conversations. Whether you are discussing racial justice, or other potentially uncomfortable conversations surrounding class, gender, etc., you can utilize this resource to set ground rules and be aware of the vulnerability in which you and your participants are sharing.
