JOIN us! National Summit – April 29 & 30 – New York City Presented by JOIN (Jewish Organizing Institute & Network) for Justice. Cosponsored by Hazon. Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion One West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012 The field of Jewish community organizing is growing rapidly. However, as practitioners in this field, we have not yet formally come together- across denominations, across roles, across the country- to share wisdom, build connections, find partners, and plan for the future.

Through networking, training, and other learning opportunities, we will build relationships and gain resources that will strengthen our ability to achieve our individual and collective goals. (more…)
