J-Serve
J-Serve is the International Day of Jewish Youth Service, and the Jewish service component of the annual
Global Youth Service Day. J-Serve typically falls in
April, in conjunction with
Earth Day. Each year,
thousands of Jewish teens
from around the world
come together to make
a difference and encourage community building
across religious and societal lines through collaborative
teen-led communal partnerships. Launched in , JServe provides teens with the opportunity to fulfill the
Jewish values of gemilut chasidim, acts of loving kindness;
tzedakah, just and charitable giving; and tikkun olam, the
responsibility to repair the world.
March of the Living
The March of the Living is an annual pilgrimage for
thousands of Jewish teens from across the world. The
two-week journey marks the tragedy of the Holocaust
in Poland followed by a celebration of the modern state
of Israel in the Jewish homeland. The goal of “The
March” is to educate Jewish teens about the richness
of our past, to keep the past alive and to perpetuate our
Jewish future.
