Mission
Moving Traditions emboldens Jewish youth to thrive through the pursuit of personal wellbeing (shleimut), caring relationships (hesed), and a Jewish and feminist vision of equity and justice (tzedek). Combining positive psychology with Jewish values, we partner with Jewish institutions across North America to engage Jewish teens, families, and communities.
About Us
Since its founding in January 2005, Moving Traditions has championed impact-focused youth-serving programs at the intersection of Judaism, wellbeing, and gender. Along the way, it has partnered with 560+ synagogues, JCCs, camps, day schools, and emerging organizations; and trained 2,650+ educators and clergy to meet the needs of 35,000+ Jewish youth. Today, 18 years of research and careful program evaluation show just how well Moving Traditions strengthens Jewish educators, emboldens youth, and engages families.
