AVODAH
The group AVODAH, is a Jewish service group that helps people with social change, Jewish learning and community building. AVODAH is a program that lets young Jews work for a whole year in a low-income communities in New York City and Washington D.C. This year away from home creates a community within their peers and fellow AVODAH workers. AVODAH was created for people to combine Judaism and social activism in different ways that strengthen their selves.
Advocacy is a public support for a particular cause or policy. The religious affiliations, practices and beliefs can help advocacy because it can change the way you think. Your religious affiliations are a big part in the way one thinks. Being a Jew, has a big impact on joining the AVODAH program because it is a Jewish based program. Most likely a person with religious background will follow a program that is based upon their same religion.
The religious affiliations, practices and beliefs encourage people to stick with their religion. Their practices and influences help persuade people to advocate themselves into doing better for themselves and their community. These practices encourage not only for Jewish people to join their program, but they encourage other religious based people to join the program and help. The AVODAH program is a great way to expand their community and widen their Jewish knowledge.
