  • “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!”

  • “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.”

    Daniel Delgado
    he/him

  • “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.”

    Ari L. Monts

  • “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.”
