Repair the World

Repair the World We mobilize Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world.

Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world, igniting a lifelong commitment to service. Repair the World’s signature program, Repair the World Communities, engages young adults in social change around education and food justice in neighborhoods in Atlanta, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, Harlem, Miami, and Pittsburgh. In most communities, a City Director supports a cohort of fellows (ages 21-26) who make a year-long service commitment to Repair the World. During this year, Repair’s fellows work closely with local nonprofits to create authentic and impactful volunteering and education opportunities—and they use peer-to-peer outreach and recruitment to engage thousands of other young adults in volunteering and learning. In response to the growing need due to COVID-19, we launched Serve the Moment, a new program to mobilize tens of thousands of Jewish young adults and college students in 100,000 acts of meaningful service and learning to address the COVID-19 crisis, its economic fallout, and the current movement for racial justice. Serve the Moment combines virtual volunteering, in-person service, and national service campaigns around specific issues during the year. Stipended Serve the Moment Corps Members, serve at nonprofit partners in Atlanta, Bay Area, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Harlem, Los Angeles, Miami, and Pittsburgh.

On the anniversary of October 7th, amid enormous grief, we hold on to the ideal that our hope is not yet lost, od lo avdah tikvateinu - עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ.

Our hope stands in the face of sorrow, hope that our future will be brighter, hope that we can collectively heal the wounds of this past year, and the hope we can build strong, resilient Jewish communities through service.

Service can be a powerful way to honor the memory of those we’ve lost. We invite you to join us, as we volunteer alongside our neighbors to strengthen our communities, in honor of the lives lost three years ago today.

Through our ongoing National Days of Jewish Service, you can connect with other Jews, stand against hatred and oppression, and meet the pressing needs of your community. Whether you’re hosting a commemorative event for 10/7, leading a community service project, or organizing a poll worker registration drive, your volunteering can make a real difference.

As we reflect on the brokenness of our world and the tragedy of 10/7, we recommit to doing our part to repair the world.

And that's a wrap on Sukkah season...

With your help, we home-away-from-homes in temporary Repair the World dwellings around the country. From NYC to Orange County, you brought the warmth of community and the joy of learning to light up backyards and even rainy indoor pivots.

Thank you for being a part of the growing Jewish service movement & joining us. We hope to see more of you this fall. https://werepair.org

Never underestimate the power of a pre-Shabbat service stroll ✨

Last week, Repair the World Detroit community members gathered at Belle Isle’s Eugene & Elaine C. Driker Trail for "Walking Toward Shabbat," an afternoon focused on reflection, nature, and community.

In partnership with Adamah Detroit and Tikkun HaYam - Repair the Sea, folks participated in a hands-on reverse tashlich activity, removing trash along water ways.

Programs like this remind us that there's power in combining nature, wellness, Jewish values, and environmental action to build stronger, more connected communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Detroit and to Repair the Sea and Adamah Detroit for making this meaningful impact possible!

Chag Sukkot Sameach! 🍋 🌿 ✨

Sukkot asks us to leave sturdy walls behind and dwell somewhere fragile, a practice that opens up questions about who we make room for and how we show up, together.

This year, we encourage folks to treat their sukkah not as a private refuge, but as an invitation extended to strangers, neighbors, and people they have yet to meet.

Happy Sukkot from all of us at Repair the World and the Jewish service movement.

We don't need spidey senses to know Repair the World & Tikkun HaYam - Repair the Sea are passionate about bringing Jewish service to the waterways in our communities.

Thankful to continue partnering together for reverse tashlichs around the globe in over 15+ communities!

Tzion Kaukira’s path to Jewish service started in Kampala, Uganda, home to the Abayudaya, a small Jewish community that is nearly a hundred years old.

In a community where everyone is responsible for each other, Tzion felt pulled towards service. He became a Repair the World Michael Kay Jewish Service Ambassador and led a dozen service projects in his first year in the role.

Tzion’s projects have ranged from an environmental initiative clearing out a community water drainage system to mitigate the gathering and breeding of malaria-carrying mosquitoes to a Mother’s Day project connecting gratitude for mothers to conversations about gender and access to reproductive care. His “Pesach project” stayed with him the most. He taught his community to make matzah and kosher w**e by hand.

As we take part in our National Days of Jewish Service now through October 10, we reflect on Tzion’s story and the thousands of Jewish service leaders making a lasting impact in their own communities not only in the U.S., but around the world. We’re grateful to lead the global Jewish service movement.

Last week, a group of colleagues, board members, donors, and partners gathered at the ’s West Creek Ranch in Montana for Repair the World Days of MontanAWE.

With the generosity of our hosts, the Days of Awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur became a chance to reflect, connect, and renew our commitments to the Jewish service movement.

Each session together was rooted in Jewish values and attributes of yesod (foundation), chesbon hanefesh (honest accounting), hakarot hatov (recognizing the good), and kavannah (intention), from discussions on the future of our work to challenging ourselves outdoors. The week ended with service, as we joined the Gardiner Food Pantry to provide packed meals and stocked shelves for food insecure neighbors.

Thank you to the Blank Foundation for hosting us and to all who took the time to start 5787 with a meaningful week of learning and growing our movement together.
