How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Embodied Folk Spirituality
    methodology: embodied spirituality
    By using tangible, folk-based Jewish practices, we foster spiritual connection and ancestral continuity among younger Jews, because physical rituals create accessible and meaningful entry points to tradition outside institutional frameworks.
  • Intersectional Liberation Framework
    methodology: intersectional liberation
    By organizing through an intersectional lens that treats anti-Black racism, LGBTQIA+ phobia, and Zionism as interconnected systems of oppression, we advance collective liberation, because sustainable Jewish identity must be built in solidarity with all marginalized communities.
  • Journalism as Education
    methodology: journalism-as-education
    By involving emerging journalists in the production of a national magazine focused on Jewish and justice issues, we cultivate skilled voices in Jewish media, because hands-on participation in purpose-driven journalism builds both professional capacity and communal engagement.
  • Reclaiming Jewish Identity as Resistance
    methodology: reclaiming Jewish identity as resistance
    By redefining Jewish spiritual practice as distinct from Zionism and state violence, we build a resilient, ethical Jewish identity, because a decoupled Judaism fosters moral clarity and empowers dissent.
