Testimonials

I see two areas of my life that AVODAH has significantly impacted-my Jewish community and my commitment to social justice. AVODAH has helped me create a strong and diverse Jewish community.. The other area where I see myself changed by AVODAH is my commitment to social justice. My time in AVODAH forced me to explore my personal commitment. Just as importantly, AVODAH opened my eyes to the multitude of ways to utilize that commitment to actually make change in the world.”
