Middle School Mitzvah Corps
Rooted in the three pillars of Judaism—Torah (learning), Avodah (service), and G’milut Chasedim (acts of loving kindness)—this immersive six-week experience empowers middle schoolers to discover their authentic Jewish voice while making a real difference in our community. Your child will develop leadership skills and deepen their Jewish identity alongside like-minded peers through hands-on community-service projects, ritual exploration, and meaningful study of sacred texts— all through a Jewish values-based lens.
