If so, the PJCC and Kevah invite you to participate in an exciting new partnership: Kevah Learning Groups in conjunction with our Grow Justice: Fight Hunger initiative. As a Kevah Group Organizer, you will partner with Kevah staff to make key choices such as: identifying 6-8 families (with children ages 4-12) to participate in the group, whether your group is for adults only or includes children, and meeting frequency, time and location. The PJCC will provide you with an outstanding educator and materials based on Jewish values and tradition.
