Synopsis

How can Jewish values influence our work to create a just world and help us work together for the good of all communities?

Jewish tradition compels us to protect the poorest, weakest and most vulnerable among us. But discerning how to make meaningful and effective change through social justice work whether in community or on your own is not always easy.

This guide provides ways to envisage and act on your own ideals of social justice by helping you navigate through such issues as:

Creating a narrative mission statement that reflects your organisation's values

Balancing the needs of your community with those of other Communities

Weighing the pros and cons of various models of social justice work (direct service, advocacy, investment and community organising)

Expanding the impact and efficiency of your work

Locating your social justice goals and methods within the context of Jewish tradition

Maintaining the motivation and inspiration to continue your social justice work

Each chapter includes a set of discussion questions to prompt reflection and conversation, as well as tips, tools, processes and forms for getting your social justice project off the ground.
