What We Do

Judaism Beyond Nationalism

The ACJ offers Jewish education, intercommunal connections, and religious guidance beyond nationalism—free from the Zionist idea of Judaism as a nationality or the elevation of one nation above others. We support individuals, locally rooted groups, and synagogues in cultivating Jewish ritual spaces and practices grounded in justice, solidarity, and humility.

Repeating background pattern

We believe that the present tragic experiences of mankind abundantly demonstrate that no single people or group can hope to live in freedom and security when their neighbors are in the grip of evil forces either as perpetrators or sufferers. We hold therefore, that the solution of the social, economic and political problems of one people are inextricably bound up with those of others.
