"It wasn't the material we brought, but the energy and our presence that put a smile on their faces. It was awesome. This workshop has impacted my personal life in so many ways. I actually do things that I say I want to do. I am more at ease with my self around people. I am taking back the power and responsibility for my own happiness." - Aleksandra


"I definitely plan to continue going to this home. These teenagers have been abandoned by too many people before, and I am not going to abandon them. I don't think 20 pages would be enough to explain how JSAP made a difference for me. I am a better, happier husband. I now know I can do great things." - Todd

In JSAP, ambitious young Jews explore what it means to make a difference in the world – from the inside out.

We consider that the biggest obstacle to living our passion in life is "us." We engage fascinating ideas on the Jewish vision of an actualized world. We try on proven principles of leadership. We find the nexus between timeless Jewish values and our personal dreams and we put it on the line: each JSAP participant creates a unique social action project by session's end.

Passion. Commitment. Wisdom. Risk. Personal discovery. Are you JSAP?
