What we do

We instill Jewish professionals and lay leaders with new skills, strategies and concrete tools to build community with each generation.

We teach skills like how to recruit 50 or 500 people without a flyer, or how to go from coffee dates to community, or lead a compelling Torah study whether you are a rabbi or a novice. We think of these as “people skills” and the skill set we need to build a people.
