Welcome to Sulam:
the Center for Jewish Service Learning. We exist to help
Jewish teens in greater Los Angeles maximize the impact of
their community service experience. We know that your teen is
doing more and more volunteer work and we want to help them to
find a quality service experience. The search form
below or the service opportunities link
to the left will be the place to start.
More importantly, we want to help your teen to understand more
deeply how their service to others connects them to their Jewish
tradition and to their own emerging personal identity. So, we encourage
you to use the many resources on this site to guide your teen into
the process of study and reflection. The website provides opportunities
for Jewish learning and helpful “how
to” information on personal reflection,
creating one’s own service project, and stories about the impact
of service. Spend some time exploring these facets of the site
and be a part of the process of enriching your teen’s community
service work.
