To the Board & Staff of Moving Traditions, It is incredibly MOVING (and humbling) to see all that you have accomplished! You inherited a vision and you ran with it - expanding the organization's depth and reach in ways that we never could have imagined in the early days of Moving Traditions. I am so grateful for all that you have done for Jewish teens (who quickly become Jewish adults) and for the Jewish community itself. We, as a people, as well as “we” as individual Jewish teens and adults… we are better because of your passion, tenacity, and wisdom.
