My Nonprofit Reviews

We have so much to do to address the injustice in our country. Some people talk about it. Those committed to the work of Avodah roll up their sleeves and do something about it! In addition to the current corp members, there are hundreds of alum throughout the country who continue this work in a variety of capacities. The world is a better place with Avodah in it!

I am committed to the work of Avodah as a Board member and funder because it provides a critical connection for emerging Jewish professionals through the sacred work of social justice.

For over forty years I served as a professional Jewish educator in Kansas City, from congregational educational director to Director of Engagement and Leadership Development for the Jewish Fedeation. I was always focused on finding ways to connect members of the Jewish community with their Judaism through a variety of opportunities. In an era when our traditional Jewish institutions don't always resonate for everyone, organizations like Avodah provide a meaningful connection for the fellows, leadership and philanthropists who are interested in supporting social Justice through a Jewish lens. I am proud to serve on the Avodah board and support our local and national effort.
