JASA Launches Service Initiative with Areyvut

JASA is proud to announce that we have been chosen as one of Areyvut’s partnering organizations for Magen David Yeshiva’s Chesed Initiative. This student-run program places Brooklyn-based yeshiva students throughout their local community in different service positions to do acts of mitzvoth (charity) and chesed (kindness) for those in need. We are excited to say that a group of freshmen will be serving as computer tutors at JASA’s Warbasse Cares for Seniors NORC in South Brooklyn for the duration of the school year. The students will be helping clients navigate the web and use email and will be enjoying the company of some older New Yorkers!

Areyvut is a local organization that provides Jewish youth with opportunities to participate in social justice and community service activities.
