Tzedek Institute

In September 2011, Jewish Community Action launched the Tzedek Institute and welcomed a cohort of leaders eager to increase their leadership skills and learn community organizing through a Jewish lens. With a curriculum rooted in tradition and our core values, mixing group sessions and experiential learning, the cohort left transformed.

Currently, the cohort has moved to a phase of applied learning. Our Tzedek Institute leaders are organizing in their congregations and communities with ongoing training and support from JCA. Their work will serve to deepen the reach of our congregational organizing and elevate the visibility of social justice in all of our congregations. Contact an organizer to find out how you can be in the next cohort.
