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 Ci

ty 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.

What happens when thousands come together to serve their communities?

One sandwich becomes 1.2 million pounds of food distributed. One breakfast served before sunrise becomes 999,000+ meals prepared. One act of service becomes a movement.

Since 2020, Repair the World volunteers have contributed more than 914,000 acts of service and learning nationwide through hands-on service rooted in Jewish values.

Every act of service matters. Every gift expands this work.

“Good Deeds Day was a tremendous day of seeing our Jewish values and learning show up for the broader Milwaukee community and the agencies we call partners,” - Rhonda Lindner, Jewish Social Justice Educator at Tikkun Ha-Ir of Milwaukee, who gathered with 250 volunteers at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center for Good Deeds Day-MKE. Together, they packed sandwiches, assembled hygiene kits, and served alongside friends, family members, and neighbors.

This partner spotlight is just one of many stories showcasing the power of the Jewish service movement around the country.

“For my work at OLAM, the trip provided valuable insight into how service experiences can be designed to foster not only impact, but also learning, reflection and community-building. Experiencing that firsthand helped me think more concretely about how we can strengthen the broader Jewish service movement,” shared Andrea Hendler, Director of Jewish communal engagement and learning for OLAM.

The Baltimore Jewish Times shared a spotlight on the first-hand experiences of the Jewish service leaders who joined Repair the World and Yahel Israel’s recent Israel Service Seminar.

Through our strategic alliance with Yahel Israel, and with the support of Taglit-Birthright Israel and Jewish Federations of North America, we’re proud to bring our partners together in service on the ground that strengthens the Jewish service movement everywhere.

🗞️ Read the reflections:

From May 11 to May 17, Repair the World and Yahel Israel brought 18 young Jewish leaders to Israel for a weeklong session that combined service, learning and community building.

America turns 250 this year. That’s worth showing up for.

Choosing service is how we honor our tradition and answer what’s being asked of us right now. By learning, growing, and taking action with our neighbors, we build the trust and connection our communities need, and strengthen our democratic process.
