Va'ad Gemilut Hasadim: Susan and Jack Rudin Center for Community Outreach

The Va’ad seeks to promote community service at JTS through its hands-on volunteer opportunities, educational programs, and annual Tzedakah campaign. Every day, the Va’ad provides a variety of opportunities for JTS community members to go out into the local New York City community and volunteer to help. The Va’ad’s diverse educational programming offers greater insight into some of the broader issues surrounding these community-service initiatives.  In addition, funds are raised throughout the year for the Va’ad’s Tzedakah Campaign, and are donated to organizations in need in the United States, Israel, and internationally. We invite you to explore the various programming that the Va’ad offers at JTS, and find out how you can start making a difference today!
