Weaving Communities Together
The “Weaving Communities Together” initiative
is a partnership of the Weaver Family Foundation and Rikma:
Spiritual Community Leadership Development, seeking to
breathe new life into existing and newly conceived Jewish
communities in Israel, that are inspired and informed
by communities like ours. Rikma’s fellowship program
for rabbis-in-training combines study in Israel and the
US with original community action projects. Rikma Rabbis
and Fellows who participate in the “Weaving Communities
Together” project, offer text based activism, learning
that goes hand in hand with social and community action,
to participants in Boulder.
Programs that have been offered
