Turning Jewish Values Into Action
The “J” in JFS is what makes our agency unique to many other social service agencies. Jewish history and values guide our work. But what does this mean for JFS programs, clients, donors, volunteers and staff? In 2015, JFS set out to answer this question and Project Kavod was born. Now, the project is a success and getting national recognition as model for turning Jewish values into action.
Project Kavod helps deepen the work of JFS by embedding Jewish values and education into our programs.
Kavod (כבוד) means dignity. Jewish tradition teaches that every single person is created equal and that each one of us is unique. This means that no one is more or less important than someone else. It is our responsibility to treat every person with kavod (dignity).
