Review for Kol Tzedek, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I must admit I am a little biased, as a founding member of Kol Tzedek, and a longtime fixture of the board. But it is an incredible intentional community of progressives from all across the religious spectrum. Progressive in the sense that we all agree to be ourselves and to deliberate around a 21st century Judaism that meets our needs, but is informed by tradition. I had looked at other shuls before but nothing came close to what we have created in the homes, parks, and space at Calvary.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
provide a home for Jewish seekers, thinkers and feelers in its own facility, with a ton of innovative and challenging programs - it could serve as a beacon for progressive judaism everywhere.
Ways to make it better...
we had the money for own space that we could fill with amazing programs and services.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the youth and high turnover in the west philly community and the relative lack of financial wealth in the young congregation to fund more program
One thing I'd also say is that...
it's one of the great jewish organizations in America today!
