Hazon works with a number of partner organizations with whom we participate in shared programming.
JOFEE organizations:
Urban Adamah is a three-month residential leadership-training program for young adults that integrates urban organic farming, social justice work and progressive Jewish living and learning. Fellows operate an organic farm and educational center in Berkeley, CA, while interning with community-based social justice organizations addressing issues at the intersection of poverty, food security and environmental stewardship. The Urban Adamah curriculum is designed to equip fellows with the tools to become agents of positive change in their own lives and in their communities. Twelve Urban Adamah fellows are selected to participate each season, spring, summer and fall. Based in Oakland, fellows have participated in the
Golden Gate Ride and the
Food Conference.
Wilderness Torah reconnects communities to the ancient, earth-based Jewish heritage, sparking transformative Jewish experiences that build community and strengthen Jewish identity.
They envision creating a thriving Bay Area center for earth-based Judaism, a land base that functions as a community center, permaculture village, and a permanent home for local programs and work educating and training people from across the Jewish world.
The Pearlstone Retreat Center ignites Jewish passion. Their retreat center, farm, and programs enable and inspire vibrant Jewish life. Engaging Jewish, faith-based, and secular organizations, individuals, and families, Pearlstone Retreat Center serves all ages and backgrounds throughout Baltimore, the Chesapeake region, and beyond.

Romemu (
roh·meh·moo) seeks to integrate body, mind, and soul in Jewish practice. Unabashedly eclectic, they engage in body practices like yoga, infuse traditional liturgy with the energy of ecstatic chant, and ground our practice with meditation and contemplation. This is a Judaism that will ignite your Spirit.

tikkun olam, or social action, and to service that flows from an identification with the sacredness of all life.
