Organizing Your Community
Shul Organizing Toolkit: Contains advice for changing the conversation on Israel-Palestine within your shul community. Check our calendar for the next processing session on utilizing the toolkit and organizing your community.
Rabbinic Hotline: Grappling with questions around Jewish ritual, organizing, and the intersection of the two? Email [email protected] with your question, and you’ll receive psak within a day (minus Shabbos).
Mourning Stickers: Along with our allies in Free Jerusalem, we've created these mourning stickers. We ask that you print these stickers and paste them widely in your cities, and that you refrain from adding any logos out of respect for the deceased. Limited reimbursements are available for the costs of printing the stickers. Be in touch at [email protected] for details.
