“Ammud is phenomenal! I have found refuge, love, and support from its programming and Hebrew language courses. Ammud exemplifies the best of our Jewish values. Thank you!”

“This was a great and affirming place to practice Hebrew. Even though it was online I felt close to everyone involved and felt like I was part of a community. I’m very grateful for this opportunity to grow as a Jew!”

Nia

“This class was about trying to figure out where our home was, and when and how we could get there. More than anything, I learned that my home is right here: in community with other Jews of color.”

“Although I have taught in a variety of Jewish settings, teaching for Ammud was a uniquely rewarding experience. Not only did I feel more comfortable as a teacher, I also knew that Ammud’s by-JOC, for-JOC approach made it possible for me to share Torah with Jews who might not feel welcome in other Jewish learning spaces.”

“Ammud is the Jewish space I needed long ago but didn’t know existed. Participating in the Lomdim cycles was heart revealing and healing.”

“Yesod was an amazing introduction to Hebrew that didn’t assume anything about our previous knowledge but also treated us like adults. I felt in charge of my learning and fully supported. Learning with Jews of Color made me feel like I could bring my whole self—I didn’t have to show off or choose not to share too much.”

“My heart has felt so full from all of the programming that you offered this past year and I finally feel like I’m starting to find my place in Judaism. I can’t wait to learn more alongside folks this coming year.”
