Education
AJWS seeks to make the pursuit of global justice an integral part of American Jewish identity. The organization produces Torah commentaries, holiday resources, curricula and other educational resources. These materials, created in collaboration with rabbi and Jewish educators, are meant to challenge American Jews to think about how Jewish text and tradition can inspire action.

“Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“As for the graces of expression, a great thought is never found in a mean dress; but ... the nine Muses and the three Graces will have conspired to clothe it in fit phrase. Its education has always been liberal, and its implied wit can endow a college.”
