Across the Jewish world and beyond, men are being called to show up—for themselves, for each other, and for those whose voices have been overlooked. See the ONLINE event exploring what it means to be a Jewish man today.
Together, we connected over topics including like:
Mental Health & Healing
Allyship & Equity
Leadership, Mentorship & Jewish Values
Justice, Partnership & Fatherhood, and more!
