Repair the World’s National Days of Jewish Service

Repair the World, an organization that mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world, igniting a lifelong commitment to service, has announced the National Days of Jewish Service (NDJS), to run from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, 2024.

“National Days of Jewish Service (NDJS) powered by Repair the World is back for a second year and at a crucial moment,” said Melissa Levine, Senior Director of Field Activation Repair the World. “As we commemorate the anniversary of Oct. 7 amid the Days of Awe and approach a key election season, serving as a Jewish community has never been more important.”

Repair the World offered microgrants of up to $1,000 for Jewish organizations to host meaningful service programs as part of the initiative. So far, 40 partner organizations including JCCs, federations, synagogues, AEPi chapters, and national partners of Repair like Moishe House have received microgrants to run programs. Repair anticipates more than 9,000 participants engaging in programs over the month of Jewish service.

“Whether you’re incorporating service into your planning for a commemorative event, or leading a community service project, or even organizing a poll worker registration drive, your participation can make a real difference,” continued Levine.

“In these pivotal Jewish moments, all Jewish communities should emphasize serving with, and alongside your neighbors as we strengthen each other, hitchazkut, in Jewish service” shared Levine.
