Review for Aleph-Alliance for Jewish Renewal, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Finally, an organisation that wants to bring the joy back into Judaism! When I'm in Aleph circles, I feel guilt-free and invited to be creative. There is a deep sense of the love of the Jewish people, the honour of the customs with the openness of outside influence and the re-discovery of internal beauty of our tradition. Praying in Aleph communities can be full of laughter, movement, meditation, soul-sharing or all of the above!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

A chance to be un-self-conscious about expressing love for the prayers, for God and for each other

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give it more funding!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Learning about the 4 worlds model and how it can affect everything...

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Dedicated

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Be THE spiritual resource to take us through the next Jewish Paradgim Shift

Ways to make it better...

There were more Aussies and young people!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Bringing in young people and having other congregations see them as an additional benefit and not competition

One thing I'd also say is that...

Aleph is helping me find my neshama and preparing me to spread it to the world!

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months
