Empowering Stronger, More Confident, and Connected Jewish Teens
Click here to download our annual report.
At Moving Traditions we believe that when Judaism promotes self- discovery, challenges traditional gender roles, and celebrates a diversity of voices, it has the power to move our teens, our communities, and Judaism forward. Through our field-tested programs Rosh Hodesh and Shevet Achim, Moving Traditions and our trained adult mentors create experiences that inspire Jewish teens to openly explore fundamental questions of identity and society.
National Impact
Together, with our partners and the guidance of Moving Traditions, more Jewish teens are growing into adulthood with confidence, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to Jewish community.
