For 12 weeks, young professionals in the Washington, D.C. area met in each others' homes for Justice and Jewish Thought, an innovative dialogue on justice and Judaism. The course was piloted in 2008, and this latest round was developed jointly by the AJWS-AVODAH alumni partnership and JUFJ . Both JUFJ and the AJWS-AVODAH partnership work to grow vibrant communities of Jewish justice activists in Washington, D.C. and across the U.S.

"I came into the class to explore the Jewish roots of social justice," says Daniel Michelson-Horowitz, project assistant at King & Spalding LLP. "I came out with an appreciation of the great work that has been and continues to be done on social justice across the Jewish community."
