Ammud the Joc Torah Academy

To achieve our vision and deliver on our mission, we organize our work within three pillars that encompass the full scope of our activities and programmatic offerings. These three pillars are community centered Torah learning, Joc educator support, and amplification of jewish wisdom. These three pillars are interconnected: some Ammud members who engage in community-centered learning will go on to become jewish educators, and our community in turn will be fueled by these educators as they return to support Ammud in various ways. These educators will also produce and amplify their own culturally responsive jewish wisdom, which will in turn enrich not only the broader jewish community but also our community-centered learning, helping to attract new members to our spaces as we grow Ammud's public presence as an organization that distinctly serves the religious and spiritual lives of jews of colors.
