THE SIX FOLDS
The diversity of our programming is what makes
the BBG experience so unique. Activities at all
levels are built around six programming areas,
called “Folds.” The Six Folds are Jewish Heritage,
Community Service, Social Action, Recreation,
Creativity and Sisterhood. These folds are often
combined to create more dynamic programming.
Community Service
emphasizes the value of tikkun olam, repairing the
world. Community service can be either direct or indirect. Direct service involves hands-on service, for example throwing a holiday party at an elderly home or cooking at a soup kitchen. Indirect service entails participating in service without necessarily coming into contact
with the community being served, including fundraising,
food/clothing drives or making crafts kits for kids in a
hospital. Direct or indirect service can be incorporated
into any event.
Social Action
This fold aims to educate members about the world
around us and various challenges facing the global
community. Social action
also includes advocacy,
raising awareness and
speaking up for issues
that affect our members.
This programming should
be meaningful and interactive.
