American Jewish World Service
B'nai Jacob joins the New Haven Jewish community to support the American Jewish World Service (AJWS), an international development organization motivated by Judaism's imperative to pursue justice. AJWS is dedicated to alleviating poverty, hunger and disease among the people of the developing world regardless of race, religion or nationality. Through grants to grassroots organizations, volunteer service, advocacy and education, AJWS fosters civil society, sustainable development and human rights for all people, while promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship within the Jewish community.
Habitat for Humanity
Amity Cares is our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity and is currently in the building phase of our second home in New Haven. All congregants over 16 years of age are welcome to participate, no prior construction experience required. B'nai Jacob volunteers are needed for one Sunday per month.
