To deliver deepest meaning, service programs should include three elements: hands-on (direct) service, contextual Jewish and civic education, and personal reflection.
David Eisner (he/him), Former CEO of Repair the World
With the Jewish community’s resources, we have opportunities to make Jewish service and volunteering effective, transformative, and meaningful for everyone involved, transforming volunteers and how others view Jews.
Rabbi Seth Goren (he/him)
I’ve spent the past three years doing service in low income communities through my work at Repair the World. I’ve mobilized thousands of young people to volunteer alongside me. The more I saw and experienced, the deeper it pushed me to think about how to make real change.
Alli Lesovoy (she/her), Former NY Engagement Associate at Repair the World
When I was a tax attorney and my work life didn’t align with my values, I found meaning in service. Good service can be powerful - for both the volunteer and the community.
Now, more than ever, the Jewish community must embody one of its core values and make service a defining element of Jewish life.
Cindy Greenberg (she/her), CEO of Repair the World
