The Shalom Center is
stewarding and seeding
an emergent Jewish sacred justice.
We understand the various crises of our day as symptoms of a root spiritual crisis. As a hub, think-tank, and laboratory for experiments in Jewish post-activism and sacred justice, we develop creative Jewish content and curate innovative and embodied Jewish ritual to transform that spiritual root towards more wholeness, dignity, and collective thriving.
