Identity & Responsibility

What if you could help alleviate the deep poverty throughout the African continent while also improving Israel's and Judaism's image in the developing world? Come hear about how a revolutionary concept is working to improve the quality of life in Africa through active projects undertaken by Jewish communities around the world.
