Service
AJWS no longer offers volunteer service programs.
Until 2013, individuals and groups could volunteer in Africa, Asia and Latin America for short and extended periods of time through AJWS. Students volunteered through Alternative Breaks, Volunteer Summer or the World Partners Fellowship. Professional adults volunteered for longer periods of time through the AJWS Volunteer Corps. AJWS also ran a semi-annual service trip for rabbinical students, to engage future rabbis to make global justice a priority for their future congregations.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“This was a great point gained; the archdeacon would certainly not come to morning service at Westminster Abbey, even though he were in London; and here the warden could rest quietly, and, when the time came, duly say his prayers.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
—Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
“The socialism of our day has done good service in setting men to thinking how certain civilizing benefits, now only enjoyed by the opulent, can be enjoyed by all.”
